Welcome!
[edit]Welcome!
Hello, Ruddlee, 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?

Files and fair use on Wikipedia
[edit]Please don't hijack existing files as you did at File:TruthBeTold.jpg. When you tried to add it to Let the Truth Be Told (Z-Ro album), it was reverted by a bot because it had no valid fair use rationale for use in that article, this is because when you hijacked that file, it had a fair use rationale for the previous file but not the file you uploaded. Additionally, file are supposed to be low-resolution to comply with our fair use policy and fair use laws, please don't upload higher resolution versions of fair use files, they are intended to be low quality. Thanks. Dylsss(talk contribs) 02:25, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
