Welcome!

Hello, Marlon.rock, 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 Template:Periodic table (chalcogens), 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!

 * Hello ComplexRational!
 * Thank you very much for your welcome!
 * I'm trying to better understand exactly what mistake I made and how I can avoid it in the future.
 * The image (Polonium.jpg) meets all the Non-free content criteria according to the images page and is used in the Polonium article, so I assumed it would be safe to use.
 * Thank you very much for your help! Marlon.rock (talk) 19:27, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The catch is that fair-use rationales are only good for use in a single article. Every single use of a non-free image requires a separate rationale; while there is one for polonium, additional rationales would be needed for every other article using the image, and placing the image in a template would run afoul of the limitation of non-free content to article namespace (criterion 9 of WP:NFCC). This restriction is necessary to ensure that the image is used only where it is directly pertinent to something in the article and is not copied unwittingly to a large number of pages via transclusion; the latter case would constitute a copyright violation.
