Welcome to Wikipedia. It appears that you have added a link to an image on an external website to List of college mascots in the United States, likely in an attempt to display that image on the page. For technical and policy reasons, it is not possible to use images from external websites on Wikipedia. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request an upload. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 18:37, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to List of college mascots in the United States with this edit. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links may include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Bluefist  talk 18:53, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Rg019571, you are adding images incorrectly to Wikipedia. First of all, the image needs to have an article to place it in, a list is not appropriate. Zan does not have a link to that mascot, perhaps you can add a new section to Shepherd University.  Secondly, the image needs to be owned by you, or permission to use it as per WP:NONFREE.  Good luck!  Bluefist  talk  19:11, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
