Your contributions

Hi there, I'm assuming this is Antonio? You have some beautiful work. I'm just not sure that Wikipedia is the place to promote it. I see you have been making lots of contributions to articles about people with the surname Roybal. You may want to take a look at the page Wikipedia:Conflict of interest in order to determine to which articles it would be appropriate for you to contribute. There is a general proviso against editing articles related to yourself or to your family. You are welcome to contribute in other areas, of course. But when you upload images, please be sure to be certain that they fall under the Fair use clause of copyright law. Thanks for your contributions, --Rockero 03:17, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Spam in Hugo van der Goes

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Hugo van der Goes. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. Same trick you tried with your other account, User talk:Ernstfuchs. Please stop, Antonio. Darkspots 02:23, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I am not antonio ..I am a collector and I am new to wikipedia. I will pay more attention to the policies of wikipedia. thanks for your input. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vermeer1 (talk • contribs) 23:34, 2 December 2006

That's simply not true. You have two different accounts, User:Ernstfuchs and User:Vermeer1, and you've made a ton of edits to promote yourself throughout wikipedia. On Hugo van der Goes, you put an external link in an article about a flemish painter to a website, www.hugovandergoes.com, which is a mirror of your own website and promotes the work of Antonio Roybal, AND is registered to a an individual named Anton Roy who lives in Santa Fe, NM. I don't think any collector would put together a complicated, tawdry subterfuge to promote the work of a painter whose work he collected. You did the same thing with your other user account, User Talk:Ernstfuchs, same website WHOIS registration, everything. Please stop trying to promote yourself through wikipedia in this fashion.

Also, please stop blanking your user talk page. It's vandalism. Darkspots 08:21, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

• I do not wish to go back and forth on this issue. I realize that some of the edits to hugo van...etc are spam because the page hasnt been constructed yet..yes. thanks I collect many artists and my edits are an attempt to bring roybal and others to others attention. Because I am a brand new user..please cut me some slack. I am not a professional wikipedian yet, so I ask you to please try to understand where I am coming from. I wish you the best of luck...btw thanks for the contructive critism and edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vermeer1 (talk • contribs) 18:15, 4 December 2006
  • I really appreciate your efforts to keep this civil. And you're welcome--it was my pleasure to copy-edit Antonio Roybal. But here's where your actions differ from those of an interested collector. The interested collector would start a page at Antonio Roybal, and that would be that. Really. The person more interested in rampant self-promotion would spend weeks shoehorning Antonio Roybal references and paintings into articles large and small. The self-promoter would register websites in the names of eleven dead artists (with registrations on networksolutions.com to Anton Roy of Santa Fe, NM), and make them mirrors of www.antonioroybal.com. The collector would care about a much more wide-ranging network of artists beyond the teachers of Antonio Roybal. The collector would have edited those eleven articles before he linked to the "homage" websites (antonioroybal.com mirrors). He would care about those artists, you see? You don't care about those artists, or you would have edited their pages. You just put your self-promotional link into their article, calling it an homage page.

All I want is for you to stop distorting wikipedia. Thanks! Darkspots 22:48, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Darkspots: thanks to you too! Thank you for bringing these things to my attention. I have not had time to edit other articles. I do know antonio personally and these mirror pages are soon to be converted from a mirror site to an actual site with information about that artist...this is why the links were added. I will take your comments to heart. thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vermeer1 (talk • contribs) 18:54, 4 December 2006

Your editing on Alchemy

I have, once again, removed your addition of the painting by Remedios Varo, the Creation of The Birds from the Alchemy page. If you think that it belongs there, feel free to restore it accompanied by a caption or other text explaining the relationship of the Creation of The Birds to alchemy. --SteveMcCluskey 16:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
