Stop icon
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for contravening Wikipedia's policy against harassment.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  PhilKnight (talk) 16:17, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello PhilKnight, please repeal your decision for indefinitely blocking me from editing Wikipedia pages, as I have learned that over the past few days, I learned what I truly did and realized it was wrong. I truly want to make Wikipedia a better website for all users, not a website full of vandalism. I have read the policy against harassment and the guide of appealing blocks, and I have great understanding for them and why they are on Wikipedia. Please take this message into consideration
Thanks, Will Roberson94 Will Roberson94 (talk) 22:23, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Images instructions

[edit]

To use a picture on Wikipedia, we need permission from whoever owns it.

  • If it is your OWN image - meaning you created it yourself (not, for example, from a book or magazine you happen to own) - then you can just upload it at "Commons", saying "It is entirely my own work" - see http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Upload .
  • If it is NOT YOURS, and you are uploading it straight onto Wikipedia without checking about the image's copyright status - Stop. Seriously...please stop. Wikipedia cannot use it. Wikipedia cannot use images that are just taken off of other sources on the internet, we take copyright & people's ownership of their own work - like photos - very seriously. Refer to Guidelines for images for a short summation & explanation of these guidelines.
  • If it is NOT YOURS, and you are in contact with the image's owner, then the owner can give permission in two ways;
A) They could put it on a website (flickr, or their own site) with an appropriate licence, such as "Public Domain" or "Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike" (that is an option in flickr)
B) They could email us permission. You could ask them to do that, by sending them an email saying something like:
"Hi, I've written a page on Wikipedia, and I'd really like to add a picture - but as Wikipedia is FREE, we can only use freely-licensed pictures. If you have any images which you can give permission for, please send me an email back with the text below, and the picture(s) attached."
-Then add a copy of this: http://enwp.org/user:chzz/help/myboilerplate (having filled the form out)
-And send the email (attached picture file + completed form) to: permissions-commons@wikimedia.org

If you aren't uploading images from outside Wikipedia/Wikimedia, you can always check out Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images#Finding images already uploaded for instructions on seeing if images already exist for the subject or person either within Wikipedia itself or within the image repository known as Wikimedia Commons. = Shearonink (talk) 02:50, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
