Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hi Venkuggg, and welcome to Wikipedia. I'm sorry that I have to revert your first contributions here, but there were two problems. First of all, that image is very obviously a copyright violation: you clearly did not take it, because it has the style and details of a publicity photo. As such, I have reverted the inclusion in the article and asked for it to be deleted from Commons.

Second, the claim about winning the award was unsourced. Information on Wikipedia must be verified by reliable sources. If you have some source for her winning that award, we can consider adding the info to the article. Qwyrxian (talk) 11:35, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Bwilkins. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to User talk:Qwyrxian because it didn't appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! (✉→BWilkins←✎) 10:50, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

I have reverted your addition of that photo again, as it is a clear copyright violation. Wikipedia takes copyright violation seriously, so please do not upload any images for which you do not have copyright permission, and do not add any such images to articles. Further violations could get you blocked from editing. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:25, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without verifying permission. You have been previously warned that this is against policy, but have persisted. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:10, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

• You have ignored the warnings about copyright violation, so you are now blocked from editing for a short period. The image you uploaded has been nominated for deletion, as your claim that it is your own work is clearly false. If you continue violating copyright when this block expires, you should expect to be blocked for longer - possibly indefinitely. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:17, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Please note that nobody is "the official owner" of any Wikipedia page. All pages belong to the Wikimedia foundation, and it is a fundamental part of the way that Wikipedia functions that no individual user has ownership rights over any page. Any editing you do is liable to be edited or reversed by any other editor, and if you are not willing to edit on that understanding then you should not edit at all. Also, if you have a close connection with the subject of the article that you have been editing, then Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines strongly discourage you from editing on that subject, as a Wikipedia article needs to present its subject form a neutral, third party, point of view. Finally, if you hold the copyright on content that you wish to donate to Wikipedia, then you you should read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials, which explains how to do so. Since anyone can create a Wikipedia account and claim to be anyone they like, we cannot take the unsupported word of a Wikipedia editor for their holding copyright.
