Welcome!

Hello, Broccoliedshoe, 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, such as the ones to the page Springfield High School (Oregon), 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.

 * As you may have guessed from the above (and please read the links), I reverted your recent addition to the school's article. If as you said the work is yours, it isn't the school's logo. If it is the school's logo, you've provided no indication that you hold any authorization to release it, which is what you did. As of now, anyone can use it or modify the image you uploaded for whatever purpose they see fit. I doubt the school would be too pleased to see its logo advertising a marijuana dispensary or a strip club, but because of your actions that is now entirely possible. If it is indeed the school's logo, you need to request the file you uploaded to Commons be deleted ASAP. If that logo is visible on the school's website (I couldn't find it but did not dig that hard), you can upload it to English Wikipedia (not Wikimedia Commons) as a "fair use" exception to copyright. The links above will explain further. John from Idegon (talk) 05:07, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
