Sen. Jackson image
Keep in mind that we cannot just use an image of Sen. Jackson just because it is from the Maine Senate website; state governments typically have different copyright law than the federal government. (otherwise every Maine legislator would have their picture here). Unless you obtain permission from Sen. Jackson, the Maine Democratic Party, or whomever technically owns the image, it will be very difficult if not impossible to have it here. You may want to review some of the pages on Wikipedia policy in this area(such as WP:C). 331dot (talk) 23:26, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Welcome!
Welcome!

Hello, Thesandman10, 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 Troy Dale Jackson, 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?
