 * Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes ( ~ ). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The [[File:Button sig.png]] or [[File:Insert-signature.png]] button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
 * If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

Cynthia Wing, good luck, and have fun.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 18:33, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Photo upload
Saw your question on the IRC #wikipedia-en-help channel.

Photo uploads can be tricky with respect to permissions and copyright. Ideally, the copyright holder (the photographer, or, perhaps the executor of their estate, is the copyright holder, not the subject or the subject's descendents) would upload the photo to Wikipedia Commons with the right sort of release and satisfy the admins there of their right to release it. Note that the release has to be quite broad, it's not just "permission to use on Wikipedia". See c:Commons:First steps/Uploading files.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 18:42, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
