Welcome!

Hello, InsiderParli, 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 Tim Nicholls, 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. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

 * You've marked the image as "own work", but your edit summary suggests it isn't. Tacyarg (talk) 12:01, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * How does my edit summary suggest that? It is my copyrighted work. Reverse image search it, you will find no other results. This photo belongs to me. InsiderParli (talk) 01:35, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, this is what I don't understand - your edit summary from 05/12/23 says: I have added an updated photo of Tim as I cannot currently replace the main image used, which is a poor quality image deliberately chosen by the partisan user Timeshift9. Official headshots for all MPs in QLD Parliament, but especially former ministers and treasurers, have been freely available for commons usage from the QLD Parliament website. The main image on this page cannot have been chosen for any other reason. Is the photograph you have uploaded the official headshot you refer to, or is it your work, or is it both? Thanks.

 * Okay apologies, I was referring to to how Timeshift9 very obviously chose a bad photo at the time of their edit, when official headshots were available from the Parliament website. The current photo (that I have uploaded) is not from the Parliament website, but is a work I own, that is used by Tim Nicholls with my permission on his official letterhead etc. I believe he will be updating his official Parliament headshot soon to this image.
 * Apologies for the confusion. The image I was uploading is my work, I should not have included the argumentative PS about Timeshift9. This photo is better. InsiderParli (talk) 02:15, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
