User talk:JacobiteMacLaren

Hello
Hello. I know you're new to Wikipedia. There's a couple of things you need to understand. Everything we add into articles - either images or text - has to be either our own work or work that is freely usable by anyone for any reason. That means that we can't copy and paste text from websites or take pictures from websites and add them into Wikipedia articles. I noticed that you've just uploaded a bunch of pictures, but I don't think we'll be able to use some of them because they technically aren't free. If you aren't the creator, or copyright holder, of an image don't pretend to be. When I first joined I didn't understand how copyrights worked either, but that's how things work around here.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 11:47, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Copyright
You appear to be having problems with copyright identification on your recent uploads.
 * You are claiming you are the copyright holder - which clearly you are not, those designs were not all designed by yourself - making a copy does not give you the copyright.
 * One of your files File:Macdon kepp.png is already uploaded as File:Clan member crest badge - Clan Macdonald of Sleat.svg - we don't allow unnecessary duplicate images - I would suggest you have a look at commons:Category:Scottish_crest_badges - that shows a huge range of completed badges.

Clan MacLaren article
Hi, if you are still around you will have noticed I have made significant changes to the Clan MacLaren article. Please note that Wikipedia rules allow any unsourced information to be removed from Wikipedia. I have left any well sourced information and re-written most of the history section with references. Please do not revert back without prior discussion. As per the rest of your talk page you seem to be having a problem understanding the rules of Wikipedia. The article had been tagged since March 2013 as having a lack of sources and inline citations. QuintusPetillius (talk) 16:44, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
