Hi,

Welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed that you uploaded your "Little boy milking his continent" painting with an attempt to use a template that you called "RightsReserved".

As is mentioned on the upload page, you can only upload images to Wikipedia that are either in the public domain - which can happen for various reasons, including the author declaring that the work is in the public domain - or has been licensed by the author under the GFDL.

The reason is that there are many "downstream" users of Wikipedia who are permitted to use Wikipedia's content any way they want, including commercial use, as long as they abide by the GFDL. For that reason, and other reasons, copyrighted content is not allowed on Wikipedia, unless it has been licensed under the GFDL. Copyrights has more information and links about the policy and why it exists.

Since the image doesn't appear to have been licensed under the GFDL or the public domain, I marked the image for deletion at the Speedy deletions page.

Regards,
