Welcome!

Hello, Stavangern, 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
• Introduction
• 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!  Marchjuly (talk) 13:04, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Stavangern. Perhaps you hadn't noticed, but some of the files you've been adding to national football team articles and removing from national football associations articles are non-free files who uses were previously discussed and removed from or added to certain articles by Wikipedia administrators in accordance with a consensus established through said discussions. You can disagree with said consensuses if you like, but you can't really ignore them and you'll need to seek a new consensus to overturn or modify them. So, if you feel a mistake was made or the situation has somehow changed, you should follow the guidance given in WP:CLOSECHALLENGE and discuss your concerns with the administrator who closed the discussion. Your account is only a day old so if you weren't aware of any of this, that's OK; you should, however, go back and self-revert your edits and then discuss things with the administrator who closed the discussion. If you just continue on like you're doing, one of these administrators might step in an issue of more formal warning or even decide to take a stronger action (e.g. blocking your account). A consensus can change over time, but you need to seek a new consensus through discussion and not just boldly decide on your own that it has indeed changed. Finally, please understand you can, with some exceptions, remove posts and blank your user talk page if you like per WP:BLANKING; however, if you do that, it's going to be assumed by administrators that you read the posts, understood them and decided to continue as before on anyway. So, if you've got any questions about anything posted above, please ask them either here, WT:NFCC or WP:MCQ. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:21, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
