Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Mabel Byrd, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 23:22, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Images on Mabel Byrd
Thanks for your recent contributions to the Mebel Byrd article, especially the section on her civil rights activism. Unfortunately, the images you posted on WikiMedia Commons will probably be deleted within the next week because WikiMedia requires all images must carry a CC-by-SA copyright license or be in the public domain (if it was published before 1923 in the US--I think the current images were published circa 1926). The other exception to the CC-by-SA requirement that can be used to post an image on a non-living biography is if a single image is uploaded NOT on Wikimedia Commons, but here on Wikipedia with a "fair use rationale", and on condition it will be relatively low resolution and only used in one article. (Click on the image in the Polly Povey Thompson article, then select "edit source" to see code you can copy/modify for the rationale.) There's an image of her here that possibly was published before 1923, but I haven't been able to find a publication date. So using the Wikipedia upload process and writing a fair use rationale will probably be the best way to go.

Let me know if you want to tackle this somewhat complicated image uploading process, or if you want my help. Part of the fun in writing/editing for Wikipedia is collaborating with other editors... Welcome again to editing! — Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 19:26, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
