Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, AudreyBathory. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Maria Popova, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. S0091 (talk) 22:03, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Maria Popova
Hi Audrey, I understand why she may like the current photo but I removed the photo you added from the article and reported it to Commons as a possible copyright violation as it is not clear you are in fact the photographer/copyright holder. If you are the photographer/copyright holder you will need to handle it there (they have a process to where you can provide proof). If you are not the photographer/copyright holder but happen to know them, you can request they release their copyright and upload it, which then can be added to article. If that is not possible, you can take a photo of her yourself and upload it (or if you are her, selfie or have a friend do take one and have them upload it under their own account). I will leave some additional information about images and Wikipedia. If you have questions or need help, you can ask at the Teahouse. S0091 (talk) 22:31, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Welcome!
Welcome!

Hello, AudreyBathory, 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!
