Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Sam-2727!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

This isn't an award but rather a question. I saved the picture from Facebook a while ago. Mark Mckinnon was trying to change the picture of the Cover art to the current cover pic (the one I posted) I was just trying to help keep the page as current as possible and was not trying to do anything malicious. I don't understand what the problem with updating the page is. If you can tell me, that would be appreciated. Nikkutendo (talk) 03:50, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Nikkutendo, the cover art was deleted because it is a copyright violation. Wikimedia commons doesn't accept works that are used under fair use rationale. You can upload the cover art to Wikipedia directly (without uploading it to commons), but make sure you read w:Non-free content very carefully. Sam-2727 (talk) 15:52, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Ahshion1, try looking for a file that is licensed under a suitable free license and isn't copyrighted. Sam-2727 (talk) 23:35, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Where do i find those at and how do i publish it? Ahshion1 (talk) 00:52, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Ahshion1, you search for free use files just as you would any file, finding images online. Just check the license of the image (typically listed next to the image somewhere) before uploading it to commons. Sam-2727 (talk) 00:54, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Ok then how do i make it publish to her actual Wikipedia page Ahshion1 (talk) 01:04, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Ahshion1, click "edit," then under "insert," click "images and media." Then search/click for the image you want to add to the article. Sam-2727 (talk) 01:20, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
