Non-free images
Hi! I was recently notified that you used non-free images on your userpage. I just wanted to let you know that these images cannot be used on your userpage, as this would violate the fair use guidelines. What fair use means is that Wikipedia can use a copyrighted image as long as it meets certain criteria, which can be very generally summed up as this: No non-copyrighted version of the image exists, it will only be used to identify a particular topic (ie, a logo for a TV series used to identify that series), and that the image expands on the topic in a way that words alone wouldn't be able to do. One of the specific rules for using non-free images is that it can only be used on the specific article for which they were uploaded, as anything else would violate fair use.

It's an easy mistake, but just be careful about this in the future.
