 * Hey! Thanks a lot for your message. I am studying environmental justice as a master's at the moment, so it is really fun and valuable to contribute. I do have a question about referencing. Regarding using the same reference twice, I have read I can use the "named reference" tool. However I don't understand how I should name a reference I use to then find it then back into the list of named references. Would you know how to help with that? Secondly, when I want to integrate an image, if the image comes from a journal that is open source, can I just post it without owning the rights of the image?
 * Thanks a lot in advance for your help! Lgrosalie (talk) 12:28, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, if you're re-using references, it's best to name them. This can be done in source mode by putting a name in the first.
 * Then, when you re-use the reference, you just have to put in the name like this: . If you are using the source editor, you can select "Re-use" from the citation dialogue box, and then search for the reference you want to re-use from the list of existing references. (This usually ends up giving the reference a less-useful name like ":2"; but that doesn't usually matter too much.) You can find further instructions for naming references at WP:NAMEDREFS.
 * As for images, you can use images from open source journals as long as the journal permits commercial re-use. Most often this would be a Creative Commons license under CC-BY-SA (Attribution, Share Alike). You can not use an image if it is CC-BY-SA-NC (Attribution, Share Alike, Non-commercial). You can find more information about image use policy at WP:IUP. Larataguera (talk) 16:18, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * This information was very useful thanks a lot!
 * I still have not managed to upload images unfortunately. When I try to upload it, it appears as "error" as they cannot identify if the file is okay to use for wikimedia commons. When I want to upload it on wikimedia commons, they tell me only autoconfirmed users and so forth can do this...
 * Do you know if there is another way?
 * Thanks again Lgrosalie (talk) 07:01, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The best way to use an image is to upload it on commons. If you need to be autoconfirmed, just make two more edits (anywhere including here) and you will be autoconfirmed. More information here about the autoconfirmed user group. Larataguera (talk) 11:13, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
