Welcome!
Hello, Chocopiee, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:45, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Image copyright
Hello, I saw that you uploaded an image to Wikimedia Commons and marked it as your own work, however a search produced evidence that it was previously published elsewhere first. With images, always make sure that you are careful to attribute the image to its creator by providing the creator's name and a link to the site from which you took the image. Also review the image to ensure that it was released under a form of copyright that would be compatible with Wikimedia Commons - if the image lacked this information, always assume that the image cannot be uploaded due to a restrictive copyright. I would like for you to review the training module on uploading images and media.

Now what this ultimately means is that the image will need to be removed from Commons since there's no evidence that it was ever released under a Creative Commons license or placed in the public domain. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:37, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
