Vandalism

I just now noticed the edits you made to the article JGR Class 7010 with this edit. Do not vandalize Wikipedia. Ideally the situation will resolve itself as it did here, where you received a warning after the content was reverted, but doing this repeatedly or doing larger acts of vandalism could lead to your account being temporarily from editing. Even if it's a test edit, it's still vandalizing and isn't helpful - the best place to make test edits is your sandbox, as you've seen. I will ping your professor (@Jaobar:) on this so he's aware.

Hi (@Shalor (Wiki Ed):), I have not vandalized nor have I edited outside of my sandbox. If I have done anything, it was done without my understanding. I am new to wikipedia and am learning how to use it. I apologize for any inconvenience. In the future, please communicate any wrong doings. I do not understand entirely what it is I have done.

Greetings Shalor (Wiki Ed). Thank you for your note. I will speak to the student about this and figure out what has happened. Best, --Jaobar (talk) 04:58, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Non-free image use

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 User:Professor Hamburger/sandbox, 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) 00:28, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi Professor Hamburger. The licensing of each media file you see used on Wikipedia is determined by it copyright status and not every file you see on Wikipedia is licensed the same. Some files are licensed as public domain or licensed under a free licensed suitable for Wikipedia and these are often collectively referred to as "free images". Other files are licensed as non-free content because of their copyright status and these files are commonly referred to as "non-free". Non-free content use on Wikipedia is highly restricted and each use of such files must satisfy Wikipedia's non-free image use policy. One of these restrictions is WP:NFCC#9, which says that non-free content can only be used in the article namespace. For this reason and as explained in WP:UP#Non-free files, non-free content such as File:Snapchat logo.svg, etc. cannot be used in User:Professor Hamburger/sandbox. I left an edit sums explaining why I removed non-free files from your sandbox the previous times, but you subsequently re-added it. So, I'm posting this here to provide more explanation. If you have any questions about this feel free to ask them here, at WP:MCQ or at WT:NFC, but please don't re-add any such files to your sandbox again. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:32, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi Marchjuly. I am sorry, I did not know this. I thought Wikipedia was having technical issues. I am using these logos for visual aids, is there anything I can substitute with this? Professor Hamburger (talk) 00:42, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

There are a number of placeholder images found in c:Category:Image placeholders you can use if you want, or you can simply use any image on Commons if you just want something for sizing reference. I'm not sure whether what you're working on is a draft for a possible future article or possible content to be added to an existing article, or whether you just practicing formatting tables. If this is something you eventually intend on adding to the article namespace, you should be aware that non-free images are almost never allowed to be used like this per WP:NFTABLES, WP:NFLISTS and MOS:LOGO. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:05, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
