Welcome!

Hello, DrewLeaguePorterHouse, 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 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 user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Image licensing
When you get a chance, please look at the notifications on your Commons talk page. The images which you are using here on Wikipedia need additional information to verify that you are the author of those image. Understand that this is to safeguard you and other photographers that unfortunately, at times, can have their high-quality images used without their permission. Thanks for your understanding.—Bagumba (talk) 21:15, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Watermarks
You may not have been aware, but Wikipedia's policy on watermarks advises that there should be no watermarks on images. in the future, please upload images without watermarks. Once the permission issues for your previous uploads are addressed, you can upload replacement images, or others might assist in removing the watermarks as well. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 21:24, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
