June 2017
Hello, I'm CAPTAIN RAJU. Thank you for your recent contributions to Buffalo Bulls football. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Commons images
Images from the university can't be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons unless the university has released them to the public domain or otherwise authorized their unrestricted use on Wikimedia through a contact with WP:OTRS. You've uploaded several uniform photos and all of them are copyright violations. In the future, unless you took the photo yourself, I'd avoid uploading it on the Commons. Even here in Wikipedia, any copyrighted images (which includes logos) need valid rationales included. Using the tag for Creative Commons means you personally control the rights to the image. Even if you are the photographer, though, you only have those rights if you took the photo with your camera and on your time. If you are an employee of the university, you need to disclose that on your userpage due to the conflict of interest policy. Even as a university employee, though, you would still need to communicate with OTRS to formally authorize and release any images copyrighted by the school. --JonRidinger (talk) 01:29, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
