Welcome!
Hello 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 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?
If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}}
on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Non-free image use
[edit] Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload files. However, it appears that one or more of the files you have uploaded or added to a page, specifically Norwegian Air Argentina, may fail our non-free policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted file of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:32, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
- Hi 93.104.24.155. You left this edit sum when you added File:Norwegianairshuttlelogo2013.png to Norwegian Air Argentina and Norwegian Air UK, but that particular file is not a file from Commons; it's a non-free file uploaded locally to Wikipedia which means that it's use in these two articles needs to satisfy Wikipedia's non-free content use policy.
- There are two issues with the file's use in these articles. The first has to do with WP:NFCC#10c; this non-free content use criterion states that a separate, specific non-free use rationale needs to be provided for each use of non-free content. The Argentinian and UK articles lack the required rationale, so the file's use in those two articles is not policy compliant and it can be removed per WP:NFCCE. This can sometimes be fixed by simply providing the required rationale(s), but a rationale in and of itself does not automatically mean compliance per WP:JUSTONE. Each use of non-free content is required to satisfy all ten non-free content use criteria which can be difficult to do sometimes. Generally, non-free corporate logos are allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in the main (or parent) company's article, but not necessarily so in articles about subsidiaires/branches/departments, etc. of the parent company. In such cases, as explained in item 17 of WP:NFC#UUI, separate specific logos for the child entity are preferred instead. If the child entities do not have their own branding per se, then the default is not to automatically use the parent logo. So, in the case, logos specific to the Argentinian and UK companies is perferred to the main companies logos.
- As for the other two articles where this file is being used, you need to keep in mind WP:OTHERIMAGE. Just because file is being used in multiple articles does not mean that its in policy compliant in all of these articles. People add a rationale and automatically think that doing so means compliance, but as I stated above this is not necessarily the case. People also add non-free files to article without either being aware of or without caring about relevant policy. I don't think the file's use is policy compliant in any article other than Norwegian Air shuttle (if that's the parent company) and it should be removed from the other two articles as well. However, this is probably something which needs to be discussed at WP:FFD to see if that is the consensus. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:36, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
