Welcome
Welcome!

Hello, USDCSSMgr, 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 you have 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 may be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images, from where they can be used on Wikipedia and many other wikis?
 * 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 user 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! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! – S. Rich (talk) 21:32, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created University of San Diego School of Law‎, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "USDCSSMgr", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Looks like the username issue is resolved, so this message is no longer needed. Again, welcome to Wikipedia! – S. Rich (talk) 21:36, 8 April 2013 (UTC)22:53, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
