Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Cgelpieryn, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Image copyright
[edit]Hi, I noticed that you uploaded an image, File:Puppy-toy-581107c75f9b58564c6b6438.jpg. Unfortunately this image looks like it is not held under a copyright that is compatible with Wikipedia's, as the person who created the image published it under a copyright that requires that people pay for the right to use the image.
Please be careful with images, as you need to make sure that the image has been released under a compatible Creative Commons license or is in the public domain. As a general rule, assume that all images are copyrighted in a way that would prohibit it from being added to Wikimedia Commons, especially those that you see on the Internet, unless it's explicitly labeled as being held under a compatible license. Basically, don't take images from social media, websites, or such unless the image itself falls within one of the copyrights that are listed here as being OK. Also, when adding an image make sure that you attribute and source it properly. There's more about this in the module for uploading images and media, which you can find here.
What this means for the image is that unfortunately it will have to be removed from Wikimedia Commons. The reason for this is that the Commons can only host content that can be freely used and doesn't require payment or have certain restrictions. It's a cute image and this is a pretty easy mistake to make - just make sure to be careful about this in the future. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:11, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
