Welcome!

Hello, Junrubian, 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) 20:32, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Images copyright
Hi, I noticed that you uploaded some images to the Commons and marked them as falling under copyrights compatible with Wikimedia Commons, such as public domain. However when I checked the website for Mercy Corps, they appear to have marked their site with just "copyright", which signifies that their content is copyrighted in a way that isn't compatible with Commons. By this I mean that they most likely do not allow their images to be altered and shared under a license that others could use commercially. Many organizations are very careful about how their image is used, as they need to protect their "brand", so to speak.

In general when looking for images the best practice to follow is that you should only use images that are explicitly marked as falling into the public domain or a compatible Creative Commons license. If they're not marked as such, it should be assumed that they aren't able to be added to Wikipedia. I've marked the images with a tag that should get some of the Commons people to take a look at the images and determine if they fall under the stated licenses or not. In the meantime, I would like for you to review the module on uploading images and other media, thanks. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:45, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello Shalor (Wiki Ed)!

Thank you so much for double-checking this for me: I most likely have missed out on the copyright information listed in the bottom. I will make sure to double confirm with the organization or remove the photos if necessary. Junrubian (talk) 20:52, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
