Hello, I'm Wikiisawesome. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Malinda Williams— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. /wia🎄/tlk 01:47, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You removed the only photo that is in Wikipedia Commons and are trying to insert one that is not. If you took the photo you want to use, you can post it to commons and then insert into the article. David notMD (talk) 05:15, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

can you please advise how to reach that page on Wikipedia Commons?

How to find the existing photo or how to add one to Commons? If the latter, you must have either taken the photo your self or own copyright, and in either case, posting it to commons means giving up all rights to any use - Wikipedia and elsewhere - of the photo. To get to Commons, go to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Enter a search term (name, whatever) there will yield existing photos in commons. A search on "Malinda Williams" yields the 2006 photo of two people. A search on "Malinda" yields the headshot that is under review.

This site https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard lets you upload your own photos.That's your photos, not something you found on the internet. If a person is a subject of a photo, easiest way may be for the photographer to use the Upload Wizard to add the photo to Commons. David notMD (talk) 12:20, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

perfect. Thank you

Welcome!

Hello, Malinsworld, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Malinda Williams, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
