Welcome!
Welcome!

Hello, Harshita Bisht, 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. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!  Ravensfire  (talk) 15:53, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Copyright violations
You've uploaded a lot of images to the Commons where you've said they were "own work" and clearly aren't. Images that you find online are basically always copyrighted. "Own work" does not mean you downloaded them from a site, that's just taking credit for someone else's work. At best, it's dishonest. Don't do something like that again, it's a really good way to get blocked.  Ravensfire  (talk) 16:13, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
