Welcome!

Hello, Scholaroro, 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

Hello, I saw that you uploaded File:Trans-atlantic-slave-map.gif to Wikimedia Commons and marked it as your own work, however a search produced evidence that it was previously published elsewhere first by another person, specifically this site. With images, always make sure that you are careful to attribute the image to its creator by providing the creator's name and a link to the site from which you took the image. Also review the image to ensure that it was released under a form of copyright that would be compatible with Wikimedia Commons - if the image lacked this information, always assume that the image cannot be uploaded due to a restrictive copyright. I would like for you to review the training module on uploading images and media, thanks.

As far as the image goes, I'm unable to see where it was released into the public domain or under a compatible Creative Commons license, so it will likely need to be removed. Please let me know if there is something that marks it as something that could be uploaded. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:19, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I was wondering if you'd found anything to show that this image falls into the public domain or under a compatible CC license. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:10, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
