Welcome!
Welcome!

Hello, Cstarling91, 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 Jennette McCurdy, 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 talk page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Images in Jennette McCurdy
Please don't scrape non-free images from the internet and upload them. Just because an image is available online does not give you the right to upload them claiming a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license. Meters (talk) 01:38, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Note about copyrighted images
Hello Cstarling91. Thank you for trying to improve the Jennette McCurdy page by uploading new images. Unfortunately, we cannot use the images you uploaded on Wikipedia because they are copyrighted. Please note that even if an image is posted freely online for anyone to download, it doesn't necessarily mean that other people can republish the image here on Wikipedia. Unless the image is expressly licensed using a "free" license (or released into the public domain), Wikipedia generally cannot use an image without violating copyright laws (with some exceptions that do not apply here). See File copyright tags for more information.

In the case of the McCurdy images, I notice you downloaded them from her official website. Unfortunately, her website includes a "copyright 2022" notice and does not indicate that the images are licensed in a way that Wikipedia can use the images freely. Therefore, we cannot use the images and the photos had to be removed from the article.

Thank you again for your contributions. If you have any questions, please feel free to post them at WP:TEAHOUSE and the experienced editors there can help you. Thank you. Aoi (青い) (talk) 01:38, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
