DuPont Manual High School
Welcome to Wikipedia. I am wondering if you are not seeing my reasons for removing the image you are adding to the subject article. The image has a lot of unnecessary black space on the top and the bottom that should be removed to make the image appropriate for use in the article. Since the image is yours, would you mind cropping off the black space and uploading a new version? Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 20:13, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * , I have to disagree with you a bit. Editing out the letterboxing will not make this picture suitable for use in this article. DuPont HS is a good - class article and the image in question is simply too low quality to include. John from Idegon (talk) 23:28, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I didn't examine it deeply enough to determine that what would be left would be suitable in terms of image quality.  But a picture like that with good enough quality may work.  Stevie is the man!  Talk • Work 04:32, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Besides being way too low res, the way it was composed made the No Parking signs appear to be the subject. Shooting from either right or left of where it was shot from or even a higher vantage point would take care of that. John from Idegon (talk) 04:39, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello TylerWojciak, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Jake Plummer have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 04:02, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
