Welcome!

Hello, Owwinfo22, 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 talk page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!  ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:01, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Owwinfo22 (talk) 22:24, 27 June 2022 (UTC) Hi! Thank for the welcome and directions. I have written permission from the owner of the photo stating that we can update the picture on Wikipedia. What steps should I take to send proof of the approved use?

Are they aware of the licensing requirements for uploading to Wikimedia Commons? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:45, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I have an email thread with the declaration of consent letter signed by the photographer. 2601:900:4000:ECF0:D524:97A8:DD94:3709 (talk) 02:03, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
