Welcome!
editWelcome!
Hello, AngelBerries, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have noticed that you are fairly new! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I also see that some of your recent edits show an interest in the use of images and/or photos on Wikipedia.
Did you know that ...
- ...Wikipedia has a very stringent image use policy?
- ...most images from Flickr, online news websites, and other web sources are copyrighted?
- ...Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously?
- ...freely-licensed images should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images where they can be used on all Wikipedia projects?
- ...we recommend that new users use our "files for upload" process - at least until you get the hang of things?
If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}}
on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Erika Jayne photo
editIn the Commons file you state that you are the Author of the image. Is that really so? Do you hold the copyright to the image? Did you take the photo? Are you the original publisher of the image? If you are not the copyright-holder and you lifted the image from elsewhere on the internet and placed it within Wikipedia/Wikimedia without permission of the actual copyright-holder then Wikipedia cannot use it.

- Removing the Warning for editwarring does not negate the fact that you were in violation of WP:3RR. You have repeatedly re-added an image to the Erika Jayne article despite the image being previously deleted from Commons for a copyright violation. Shearonink (talk) 07:19, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
Well, it means the world to me that you care so much Erika Jayne that you have to ruin my holiday to be such a fucking bitch about it. Happy holidays.— Preceding unsigned comment added by AngelBerries (talk • contribs) 07:21, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
- (edit conflict)Please take a look at the Welcome links above and study up on how Wikipedia is allowed to use images. There are also biography of living people concerns in this matter. Shearonink (talk) 07:26, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
