Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Lara Bohinc, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://www.futuredesigndays.com/index.php?view=article&id=379:lara-bohinc&option=com_content&Itemid=104 http://www.rockokojewellery.com/home.php?page_id=3&designer_id=29, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under allowance license, then you should do one of the following:

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Lara Bohinc saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! She sounds like a talented and successful designer. She might or might not meet the Wikipedia notability guideline at WP:BIO, but instead of copying and pasting text from websites which promote her work, you need to find reliable and independent sources such as newspaper or magazine articles which have significant coverage of her and her work. Ads or press releases are not sufficient. A Wikipedia article should not read like a puff piece or an advertisement; it should be neutral in tone and needs inline sources. Once you can show significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources to support notability, then her personal website could be used to furnish additional details of her biography or her design philiosophy.

[edit]

Since the article has not been rewritten, I'm afraid it has had to be deleted for copyright concerns. The contributor who provided the above information to you had left a valuable notice at the article's talk about potential sources. Since that page, too, will be deleted, I wanted to reproduce it for you here in case it might later prove useful. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:11, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The subject of the article may well be notable enough for a Wikipedia article, but a rewrite is needed to eliminate the present puff piece which has copyright violations from websites discussing her and her work. A Google Book Search has a number of hits in magazines and books which have some coverage, but generally are not viewable online to see how extensive the coverage is: [1]. Judging from the snippet view at book search, "New directions in jewellery‎ - Page 82" looks promising, including "Lara Bohinc Trained ¡n industrial design before completing her MA in jewellery at the Royal College of Art, ..." Vibe magazine has brief mentions of Lara Bohinc jewellery in a number of issues, but that does not rise to "significant coverage." "The Little Black Book of London: The Quintessential Guide to the Royal Capital" By Vesna Neskow page 163 briefly praises her work and lists 4 celebrities who wear it. The interior arrangement of her shop is pictured in a book on architecture. "Verve: the spirit of today's woman, Volume 16" calls her "a premium brand." "Art and design: 100 years at the Royal College of Art" includes her in a listing of "world renowned artists and designers associated with that institution, although it is something of a directory. "Unclasped: contemporary British jewellery" has some coverage of her per the snippet: "Lara Bohinc. another futuristic designer• makes ...". Besides the magazines turned up from Google Book Search, lots of significant coverage is found in Google News Archive: [2] See Telegraph calls her "the most covetable jewellery designer ,Guardian had another long piece in 2009.Telegraph had an interview in 2005. Lots more sources, some behind paywall. Edison (talk) 16:50, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
