Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia! I had been hoping we could have a picture for Shahida Raza; I noticed there's one on the Urdu Wikipedia page, but it's only hosted there and I can't read Urdu so I don't know whether it has an appropriate licence to be transferred to Commons so we can use it. I had been thinking of finding a place to ask. So I was thrilled to see you'd added File:Shahida Raza.jpg. But that's obviously a professional photo, presumably taken for the team; it's used in all or most of the news reports about her death, and is credited to the Pakistan Hockey Federation by Aljazeera. I saw you'd also updated and added File:Badar Miandad Khan.png at Badar Miandad, but that is a less clear file and only available at the one resolution, making it seem unlikely that the same person took both photos. Commons notes that you uploaded both to English Wikipedia and clicked on the option to have them uploaded to Commons. But Commons has a very restrictive copyright policy; Commons images must be free content (no "fair use"). See the welcome template on your Commons talkpage and this reference page. Wikipedia allows fair use, but only in limited cases and with an explanation on the file page. See File copyright tags. So unless you were the photographer (actually used a camera or a cellphone to take the picture, not just to upload it from a website and perhaps to crop it or otherwise modify it), some of your images may need to be deleted on Commons and/or to have permission sent from the copyright holders.

You will now have seen that all the images you uploaded have been deleted on Commons as copyright violations. To help you understand the legal and policy issues, here is a page that explains as simply as possible. Again, thank you for trying to help by giving us images. But none of these was allowable.
