Welcome!
Welcome!

Hello 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?

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type  on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:50, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Non-free image use
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload files. However, it appears that one or more of the files you have uploaded or added to a page, specifically United States men's national ice hockey team, may fail our non-free policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted file of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:51, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi IP68.197.192.189. The edit sum you left here indicates that you might be misunderstanding how Wikipedia, in particular how Wikipedia's non-free content use policy, works. Non-free content use is not automatic and each use of a non-free file is required to satisfy all ten of the non-free content use criteria listed in WP:NFCCP. As explained in WP:NOBODYCOMPLAINED, it matters not how long a non-free file is being used in an article, but only whether that particular use is deemed to comply with relevant policy. The file's non-free use was previously discussed at Wikipedia:Non-free content review/Archive 67 and the consesnus established was that it's use in the individual team articles is not appropriate; so, it was removed as a result of that consensus. The fact someone editing from this IP subsequently re-added the file to the article here because they were either (1) unaware of the previous discussion, (2) unaware of relevant Wikipedia policy, or (3) simply decided to ignore (1) or (2) does not nulify the previous consensus. This file has been repeatedly added by IPs and has been repeatedly removed such like here by Wikipedia administrator and will keep being removed until a new consensus to use it is established.


 * A consensus can change over time, so if you disagree with the existing one or would like clarification of it, then it you should discuss things with the person who closed the NFCR discussion per WP:CLOSECHALLENGE, or you can ask for other opinions at WT:NFC to see if a new consensus can be established. That is the proper way to go about things. What you shouldn't do is keep reinserting the file and ignoring the existing consensus because that is going to be seen as edit warring and will lead to an adminstrator being asked to intervene, which in turn will probably lead to the IP being blocked from editing. You should also be aware that removing non-free files being inappropriately used from article is a "right" so to speak per WP:NFCCE because it is the responsibility of those wanting to use the file in the accordance with relevant policy. You should also be aware that WP:OTHERIMAGE and WP:CONTENTAGE are never considered acceptable justifications for non-free use. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:15, 16 February 2018 (UTC)


 * If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Hello, I'm Marchjuly. I noticed that you made a comment on the page United States men's national ice hockey team that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:10, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
 * This edit sum is not really in the spirit of WP:CIVIL, WP:NPA or WP:DR. As I pointed out above, this file's non-free use was previously discussed at Wikipedia:Non-free content review/Archive 67 and a consensus was established that this file's non-free use does not comply with relevant policy in the individual team articles. You can disagree with that consensus and you should follow WP:CLOSECHALLENGE if you do. However, WP:IDONTLIKE and WP:OTHERIMAGE does not mean you can ignore the existing consensus, and if you continue to edit war over this image, an administrator will be asked to intervene. There's proper way for challenging a consensus reached on a community wide noticeboard and a community consensus is not superceded by a local consensus per WP:CONLEVEL. So, you're best chance of establishing a new consensus is to follow proper procedure. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:17, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
