Please take care not to upload copyrighted images. Always look at the bottom of the source website. If it says CC attribution or CC sharealike text and images, then it is probably okay. But if it says "Copyright" or "CC non-commercial" or has no info, then the images are copyrighted. Websites also often have a "terms of use" link that will say. Also, images at websites often have a "credit XXXX" below the image itself which means the image is owned by someone other than the website.
Flickr has a lot of free images. Use this link: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=BUNNYBUNNY&l=commderiv&ss=0&ct=0&mt=all&w=all&adv=1 Then double click the bunnybunny in the url and add the searchword and click enter. It will return only CC images. Others ought to check to see if that still works. I cannot check because Flickr is now blocked here in China.
Also, at my userpage, you will see a lot of US government and other links that have tons of free images.
Hello. I am Anna. I do not know who Noah and Nellie are, but they sound nice.
I have dwarf hamsters. They have no IQ, but they are really the sweetest things on Earth.
I want you to join the community here. Everyone will love you and respect you extra double if you can make this get redder. For me, the most rewarding thing of all is to start articles. Do any of these interest you? We will all help any way you like.
Well, I was thinking of starting John Jeavons, but I can't find a photo. I usually don't like to start articles unless I can find a photo. Then of course, there are the ones at Wikipedia:Requested articles/Images. Why don't you pick one. I'll start it, and we can grow it together. :) If those aren't your cup of tea, then tell me what you are interested in, and maybe I can find a good subject related to that.

Work? You mean will it be challenged and get deleted? I think not. 98% solid. But, if you like biology, and want to make something undeletable, any species will do. Nobody can challenge it. So, what do you think? A fish? A bug? Something else? We can build it back and forth. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:07, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Oh, I see. Sorry, I didn't see the photo there. Actually, that is from here and is a copyright violation. We do not have permission to use that. I must tag it for speedy deletion. No worries. Honest mistake.
Congratulations! You just created your first article. :) :) :) See the reference I added (http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/190705/0) More info about this fish there. A little known fact: This species can tear a Volkswagon in half, and on a crowded beach, can single out social workers and eat them as a snack. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:37, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
I think I had free JSTOR as part of some give-away. I can't remember. For now, I can see the first page of that link, and maybe more. I will see. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:23, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Hey (you might be thinking that who is this suddenly coming in) but I wanted to help MirrorFreak when Yunshui pointed me to that fish and as I wanted to help you, I will try to add to that article. ^_^ --Tamravidhir (talk!)14:20, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello Amanda, I have got the ping above and am aware what has happened in the past few weeks. I'm glad that you admitted your faults. Not many people do that. It seems you have changed your username, good! Now you should forget your past and do a clean start. The best way of earning experience and respect is to do what Anna Frodesiak is saying. Create lots of articles, don't worry, we are here to help you. Just imagine a huge list of articles you have created on your userpage. It will not take 2 or 3 years, just follow what Anna is telling and I'm sure you will gain what you lost. Best, JimCarter09:35, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
I can't find much else on this beetle. Can you? Maybe we should move on and start another. Have you started a list of your creations at your userpage? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:29, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
So, what do you think? Something from the bottom of the sea? How about a horrid centipede? Maybe a virus or bacteria or parasite or something tiny that infects things? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:42, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
Oh, before you said you didn't know who Noah and Nellie is. Noah and Nellie are my two pet schnauzers. And I have a virtual German Shepherd given to me by W.carter named Noah.Amanda Smalls14:53, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
Virtual?
About brown: I remember and old Rodney Dangerfield joke: Guy says "My teeth have turned yellow." Friend replies "Don't worry. Just wear a brown necktie." Another one I remember is a quote, I think from Jimmy Stewart: "Do you ever feel like the world is tuxedo, and you're a pair of brown shoes?"
I mean I am Ctrl-clicking at all those subcategories. Taxonomy is like a tree. That article shows all the subdivisions beneath. I'm looking at all the different families, etc. to find good species with images to start. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 15:52, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
Amanda, can you please just drop asking Jimbo and everybody questions and focus on something else. It's getting tedious having Jimbo take swipes every couple of days. Why not expand your local town article into a WP:GA or something?♦ Dr. Blofeld10:42, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
