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) 00:15, 5 June 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 Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Concord, 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) 00:17, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi IP 79.40.253.41. As I mentioned in my edit sums here, here, here, and here, File:Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Logo.svg is a non-free file which means that each use of it on Wikipedia needs to satisfy all ten non-free content criteria listed in WP:NFCCP. There are a number of issues with the file's non-free use in Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Concord related to criterion #3, critierion #10c and item 17 of WP:NFC.
 * Generally, Wikipedia does allow logos such as this to be used for primary identification purposes in the main (i.e., parent) article about the organization, etc. it represents, but doesn't automatically allow the logo to be used in other subsidiary/branch (i.e., child) articles related to the main topic. In this case, the main article Six Flags Hurricane Harbor would be considered the primary/parent entity and the articles about the individual parks themselves would be considered the child entities. While the non-free use of the logo in the main article is considered compliant with relevant Wikipedia policy and guidelines, the non-free use in individual park articles like "Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Concord" is not. In such cases, a logo which is specific to the particular park should be used instead if such a logo exists. If such a logo doesn't exist, then the automatic default is still not to use the parent entity logo even when the child entity uses the logo on its websites, etc. Wikipedia's non-free content use policy has been made intentionally more restrictive than fair use, and it's this policy which must be satisfied.
 * If you have any questions about this feel free to ask them here or even at WT:NFC. However, continuing to inappropriately re-add the logo file to the Concord article will be seen as disruption and edit warring, and lead to an administrator being asked to intervene. Editing from an IP account doesn't mean that you are exempt from complying with relevant policies and guidelines and an even IP account can be WP:BLOCKed by an administrator when deemed necessary. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:25, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
