Welcome!
Hello, Hezekiah.j.burton, 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) 18:17, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Image copyright
Hi, I wanted to give you a bit of a warning about uploading images. Recently you uploaded File:MAGA.svg -1024x512.png, however there were a few issues with the upload.

The first is that the image didn't have the correct copyright. Since the image is just text and stars it would fall under the public domain since there isn't anything on the image that could be copyrighted, such as an intricate logo, design, or image of Trump. You need to be careful that you select the correct license when you upload images.

The second is that since it was uploaded under the wrong copyright, I'm concerned that you uploaded it thinking that any image on the Internet can be uploaded. Even if this wasn't the case, please be careful about this as almost all images and content that you see on the Internet is held under a copyright that isn't compatible with Wikipedia and as such, cannot be uploaded.

Finally, the image was also redundant to an existing image on Commons, File:MAGA.png, and as such would be a redundant image and will have to be deleted on Wikipedia. This is something that you also need to be careful about as WC tries to only have one copy of images like this one, where it's a poster/logo that falls within the public domain.

I would like for you to complete the training on uploading images and media to Wikipedia before doing any further uploads and to catch up with the training so far with your course. This is really, really important for you to do because it can help prevent you from breaking one or more of Wikipedia's hard set guidelines. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:31, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
