Wikipedia Post: My First Post.

I would like to contribute to Wikipedia. But Simply. I create images in Photoshop. My standard's for creation free resources are: •	All images effects are created by myself. •	I use resources that I have purchased. I have documentation on said purchases. •	I would like to add images to Wikipedia and let other's use them in their articles

My personal choices are to create images that can be nice, lovely, experimentation in fractals, fan art, fun imagery, and inspirational and supportive of certain causes, etc. I don't create art that can be construed as racist. But some of my imagery will be political in nature. Mainly for the USA. But I also spent a good part of my life in Japan, and travel some around the world. Also, lived in quite a few areas within the USA. As a result of that imagery will reflect different cultures, and regions around the United States.

I try to give credit where credit is due. I'm getting better at this, I have created imagery based on images I downloaded from Wikipedia and I have mainly credited your site in 2 ways.

1) Direct Link 2) Less so but for a lovely image ( or so I think so -grin-) Is to use a fancy script saying "Thank you Wikipedia". Mostly for Twitter. But I'm getting better with the direct linking there, as well.

Why I seem a bit of a newbie here, is that I kind am. I did this kind of thing about a decade ago.

Short personal history incoming. /;) I am 59, but I have used computers for about three decades. So I am not a total newb. I'm working on starting up a business. I need to help our family financially. I am disabled. I am on SSDI for a few months left. Please note this is not a sob story. Just the opposite.

Born in 1957, there was no "public" internet yet. Life having fun was done in RL. Moving to Japan at an early age also made watching TV, not a great option…until they added Sesame Street, and shows like "Mr Ed Show". But I have to admit watching American TV shows translated into Japanese were "sometimes" funny.

Okay, enough of that.

So following is an example of how I used Wikipedia.

Link to beginning stage of personal blog [|My Blog Site]

See! Not getting the linkage right. This why I don't want to edit pages. -smile-

On a personal blogger to be used for supporting causes. Specifically for my Brother's Go Fund Me, and somewhat for my Go Fund Me. (mine is secondary, As I using it to try to try to get funds to start a Business. I am Incorporated in the State of Indiana.

I will want to use you images for my business. but I have saved the link for that policy, so I'm not asking for help for that.

So I will end this with how I would like to contribute simply. I would like to contribute to Wikipedia. But Simply. I would just like pop in imagery and then let others take them for their articles. I don't want to edit articles, but I will provide the sources from which and how created. Briefly...

I would like credit for creating said imagery. My blog sites, will be, as I get better to be very minimal. No annoying pop-up "Subscribe Now!" I hate that myself. Especially when you can't proceed to the website without being able to do so. My social links will not follow you around the page. Being older and easily distracted, I don't like that either. Its like the old movie "The Andromeda Strain". -grin-

So that is all I wish to do, I'll keep a look out for replies like that. But please keep in mind, I'm an old lady. Doing social media for the first time, re-exploring my creative side. So I'm a tad bit overloaded.

Information that I considered useful here are that"

I graduated from the Cleveland Institute of Art, 1987. Attended HS at Canadian Academy. HS Diploma, 1975.

I know this is a long post but I wanted to be completely clear on how I would like to contribute to Wikipedia.

Thanks for listening.
