-Hi Meganknudsen. I'm sorry but on Wikipedia you can't just put pictures you found on the web in articles. More specifically, copyrighted pictures aren't allowed in biographies of living persons as it goes against point #1 in [[WP:NFCCP]]. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them. --[[User:NeilN|'''<font color="navy">Neil<font color="red">N</font></font>''']] <sup>''[[User talk:NeilN|<font color="blue">talk to me</font>]]''</sup> 04:50, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

-== Pictures ==
-Hi Megan. Wikipedia is pretty fussy on what types of images it accepts. Because we allow anyone to use our content in any way they like, the content needs to be under a free license. For images, that means they can't be copyrighted. There are some "fair use" exceptions (for example, it's impossible for someone to take a photo of a dead person) but these exceptions do not extend to pictures of living people. Either we have to find a picture that has a free license (for example, these [http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=miley+cyrus&l=comm&ss=0&ct=0&mt=all&w=all&adv=1 pictures] have an appropriate license) or ask the copyright holder to donate it to Wikipedia. Sometimes this means we can't use any pictures at all but that's the tradeoff we're willing to accept in exchange for being "free to use". --[[User:NeilN|'''<font color="navy">Neil<font color="red">N</font></font>''']] <sup>''[[User talk:NeilN|<font color="blue">talk to me</font>]]''</sup> 01:54, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

-[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|30px|alt=|link=]] Please stop your [[Wikipedia:Disruptive editing|disruptive editing]]. Your edits have been [[Help:Reverting|reverted]] or removed.
-* If you are engaged in an article [[Wikipedia:Editing policy|content dispute]] with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's [[WP:DISPUTE|dispute resolution]] page, and ask for independent help at one of the [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution#Ask for help at a relevant noticeboard|relevant notice boards]].
-* If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's [[WP:ANI|Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents]].
-Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]]. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]. <!-- Template:uw-disruptive3 -->
-Hi, Megan.  It appears you are off to a rather rocky start here.  I undid the edits you did today on Aloha, and here is why.  The guidelines for school articles ([[WP:SCH/AG]]) state that we do not talk about individual courses, schedules or graduation requirements (with the exception of AP courses).  And to list a person in a "Notables" section, they must qualify for a Wikipedia biographical article.  They don't necessarily have to have one, but you must show referencing that they meet the particular standard for their primary notability under [[WP:BIO]].  The particular one for a college athlete is [[WP:NCOLLATH]].  It requires extensive media coverage of the individual athlete's achievements (not just game descriptions, roster info, etc.) or having been named an All-American in his particular sport.  All that is very doubtful for a freshman, but if you can show that the best plan is to [[WP:WTAF|write the article first]].  Also, you never ever should remove maintenance notices unless you have resolved the issue. The athletic achievements need to be referenced.  I don't really know where to find references for Oregon, but in most states it is the webpage of the sanctioning body for high school athletics.
-Given all the troubles your talk page shows, I am going to make a suggestion.  Editing Wikipedia isn't as simple as it seems on the surface.  We have a program here for mentoring new users called "adoption".  Under it, you are given an individual mentor, who will give you course material based on what you want to do on Wikipedia and then is available to help you one on one until you get the hang of things.  You will find more info at [[WP:ADOPTION]].  Also there is a Q&A forum especially for new users called "The Teahouse".  I will leave you a link immediately after this.  You can also contact other users on their talk page and discuss why they removed content you put in, or if you have questions about editing a particular article they have worked on.  You are also welcome to message me on my talk page with general or specific questions.  I will try my best to answer them or find you an answer if I can't.  My internet access is somewhat sporadic, but helping new editors is one of my favorite things to do here, so feel free to stop by and chat!

-Hello, Meganknudsen. The fact that you're trying to think about copyright with respect to images is a good thing. I can understand your desire to add a great image to an article, and (at first sight) a claim of fair use might seem to be a way to do this. Unfortunately, this is hardly ever going to work in the case of a living person, and [[User:NeilN|NeilN]] has already explained why (above). Here's a link to some more information: [[WP:NFC#UUI]]. The point is that taking a new picture of a living person, and then freely licensing that picture, is ''almost always considered possible''. Most photos you find on the web are copyrighted; if you don't see a copyright notice, the chances are that somebody else has committed a copyright violation. Sorry, but that's just the way it is. Unless you are really, really sure you have a ''free'' image, I wouldn't bother trying to add it to a Wikipedia article. It will be deleted, and I'm afraid persistent attempts may lead to your being blocked from editing. &ndash;&nbsp;[[User:Wdchk|Wdchk]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Wdchk|talk]]) 05:29, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
-:In my previous message, I referred to "free image". If you would like to read a bit more about free and non-free content, you could check out: [[:Help:Introduction to uploading images]]. I'm sorry if it seems like we're throwing a lot of information and roadblocks at you. It might come as a bit of a shock, because Wikipedia takes this stuff way more seriously than many other web sites. There's a reason why many articles about well-known people don't have pictures – it's actually quite hard to obtain a high-quality freely-licensed image. But as I said before, it is almost always considered possible. Anyway, I hope this helps.  &ndash;&nbsp;[[User:Wdchk|Wdchk]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Wdchk|talk]]) 20:18, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
-[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|30px|left|alt=|link=]] You currently appear to be engaged in an [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit war]]&#32; according to the reverts you have made on [[:Aloha High School]]. Users are expected to [[Wikipedia:Consensus#Consensus-building in talk pages|collaborate]] with others, to avoid editing [[Wikipedia:Disruptive editing|disruptively]], and to [[Wikipedia:Consensus|try to reach a consensus]] rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.<br>
-Please be particularly aware, [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|Wikipedia's policy on edit warring]] states:
-# '''Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made'''; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
-# '''Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.'''
-If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page]] to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among editors. You can post a request for help at an [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|appropriate noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]].
