Welcome!

Hello, CloserToBugs, 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:

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) 02:09, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free content use

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload files. However, it appears that one or more of the files you have uploaded or added to a page, specifically User:CloserToBugs, may fail our non-free policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted file of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:10, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CloserToBugs. This is just a not to let you know that I removed a number for non-free files from your user page. Non-free files are only allowed to be used (i.e. displayed) in the article namespace per non-free content use criterion #9; they aren't allowed to be used on user pages, even in the form of user boxes, as explained here and here. If you've got any questions about this, feel free to ask them below, at WP:MCQ or WT:NFCC. It's OK if you didn't know such a thing was not allowed; just keep it in mind before adding anymore images to your user page. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:15, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
