Alexandre-Jean Dubois-Drahonet

Welcome. I have reverted your additions to Alexandre-Jean Dubois-Drahonet because they were copyright violations. You inserted text translated straight or nearly straight from Drouot auction catalogues. Such text (including translations of it) is copyrighted and may not be used to write articles here (nor posted anywhere else on Wikipedia). Articles here either have to use public domain text (usually old books), or our own text: a summary, a total rewriting, of existing sources, without using their sentences, structure, phrasing, ... Please rewrite the text in your own words if you want it on the article here. Fram (talk) 13:35, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Fram, I will be delighted that you prove to me that this text is written by someone else? Thank you to add the link to the supposed "Drouot auction catalogues" ? --CHRISTOPHE DUBOIS RUBIO (talk) 18:56, 15 July 2020 (UTC) Christophe (talk)[reply]

Uh, not knowing our copyright rules is not a problem, you are new and can't be supposed to know all our policies. But when a rule is pointed out, then flat out denying what you did is not good. I gave the source of some of the text in my edit summary, i.e. this Drouot page:

"En 1832, Dubois-Drahonet reçoit une commande du roi Guillaume IV d’Angleterre, de cent peintures représentant les officiers de l’Armée anglaise et de la Navy dont quatre-vingt-onze appartiennent encore aujourd’hui à la Royal Collection à Windsor."

Your text: "In 1832 DUBOIS-DRAHONET received an order from King William IV of England for one hundred paintings depicting officers of the English Army and the Navy, ninety-one of which are still in the Royal Collection in Windsor today."

"Notre peintre a aussi réalisé une série sur les officiers de la Marine française sur fond neutre blanc, dont certains sont conservés au Musée de la Marine de Paris. L’un d’eux, le Portrait du général Gaspard Gourgaud, est conservé au musée national napoléonien de l’Île d’Aix. L’artiste montre un grand souci du détail pour décrire les uniformes."
"Our painter also produced a series on French Navy officers on a neutral white background, some of which are kept at the Musée de la Marine in Paris. One of them, the Portrait of General Gaspard Gourgaud, is kept at the Napoleonic National Museum on the Isle of Aix. The artist shows great attention to detail to describe the uniforms."

These (and other bits) are literal translations of the text from the Drouot website. So perhaps you would care to change your position of feigned innocence? Fram (talk) 07:41, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
