Upload logo to use in template

I'm editing the Google App Maker page, and I want to add a logo in the Template:Infobox software template in page. the logo is in this page but I don't know if regarding copyright rules I can upload it, and even If I can, im not sure where to upload it. the Infobox software template wants a file name but I think that means uploading to Wikimedia commons? or not? they don't like when people upload stuff that isn't theirs, so what do I do? Thanks. 3point1415 (talk) 07:05, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi, 3point1415! Generally we use free content only – see the first few paragraphs of the information page Help:Introduction to images with Wiki Markup/All. Such content should be uploaded to Commons repository, so that it's available in all Wikimedia projects.

However, there are some cases when there is no free content to illustrate something, and only copyrighted material is available (for example, a logotype). That must not be uploaded to Commons. It may, however, under some conditions, be uploaded to English Wikipedia for enwiki use only. Please see Wikipedia:Non-free content guideline and Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria policy. --CiaPan (talk) 07:54, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Also see WP:LOGO, which discusses exactly this use. ColinFine (talk) 10:25, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

 Not done Wikipedia is not a place for you to advertise and promote yourself and your "brand". Nobody here will help you with that. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:06, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

I suspect, based on your question, that you found one of our over 6.5 million articles and thought we were affiliated in some way with that subject. Please note that you are at Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and this page is for asking questions related to using or contributing to Wikipedia itself. Thus, we have no special knowledge about the subject of your question. You can, however, search our vast catalogue of articles by typing a subject into the search field on the upper right side of your screen. If you cannot find what you are looking for, we have a reference desk, divided into various subject areas, where asking knowledge questions is welcome. Best of luck. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:07, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

@Pst. Emmanuel Wikipedia's article on that film is at the link Samson and Delilah (1949 film). To view a copy of the actual film, you'll need to try one of the online streaming services. Mike Turnbull (talk) 14:38, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

@Pst. Emmanuel this film appears to be freely available at the Internet Archive Coc0a.ctf (talk) 07:15, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Nice find, @Coc0a.ctf but that's a 1920s silent movie, not the 1949 talkie the OP was looking for. Mike Turnbull (talk) 12:38, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Where to ask for a independent review of an edit?

I came across an edit[2] that may have come from an editor with a possible conflict of interest issue. Where would I go to ask for a third-party review of their edit? I'm a rather new editor, and am trying to be overly bold in my editing. Thank you! BlueNoise (talk) 23:16, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

You are? (But perhaps you just intended to add "not".) The article was edited most recently by somebody with an imposing username and a short and odd list of removals, or should I say contributions. I'm not sure. Somebody with a clearer grasp than I have of the relative reliability of sources for "spiritual" matters might care to comment. -- Hoary (talk) 23:26, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Looking at their edit history, it's seeming less like a conflict interest and more like single-purpose account with an axe to grind. As I mentioned before, it's easy to be overly bold when it comes to thinking one they know what they're doing. Sometimes beans end up in our nose whether we like it or not.

The editor in question (Noticeboard issues) has since been blocked as a sockpuppet (shocker, I know), the edit reverted, and the page protected. Tigraan^{Click here for my talk page ("private" contact)} 12:56, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
