Welcome!

Hello, Giovanni138, 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:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Marchjuly (talk) 08:37, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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 List of Heisman Trophy winners, 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) 08:38, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

January 2020[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Chicken tax into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. 💴Money💶💵emoji💷^{Talk💸Help out at CCI!} 13:40, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oklahoma Panhandle demographics percentages[edit]

Hi Giovanni138, I reverted your edit on Oklahoma Panhandle and thought you deserved an explanation: I think the discrepancy about the non-hispanic white population stems from the census page you referenced giving the percentage of non-hispanic population who are white in a way that made it look like it was giving the percentage of the total population who are non-hispanic white.

For example it says Texas County's "White alone, Not Hispanic or Latino, Percentage of total Not Hispanic or Latino population: 78.2% (8,263 people)". But we know that in 2020 Texas County's total census population was 21,384. Which would make the white, non-hispanic population less than half of total, not 78% of total. That's because of cities like Guyman which have a high Latinx population. Hope this clears things up. -kotra (talk) 18:40, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
