Welcome!
Hello, Lavaramen, 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) 18:25, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Image copyright
Hi - I saw that you uploaded a screen capture from a video game. Unfortunately this poses a copyright violation since any screen captures will be seen as copyrighted to Digital Extremes, as the game and its imagery is all copyrighted by the company under a restrictive license. As such, this license would prohibit others from adapting or using the content in a way that the company doesn't agree with. What this means is that the image will need to be removed from Wikimedia Commons. The page for the game's cover art gives some information about this as well - essentially we can only use copyrighted imagery in the article for the game itself under fair use guidelines. We can't use them on user pages.

I'm sorry about this - the guidelines are very restrictive and cautious. You can read over some of this in the training module for uploading images and media. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:22, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I had a feeling this might happen, is there anything I can do specifically to fix this without changing the image (or removing it)? The only reason I tried this is because I used a feature in the game specifically made for taking screenshot photographs of the game.Lavaramen (talk) 02:20, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
