Your recent edits[edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 01:33, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

June 2014[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at User talk:Mlpearc, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Handling image licenses for a logo[edit]

Hi Hallissy! The complication here is that logos are usually copyrighted or trademarked, which limits how people can use them. Wikimedia Commons can only host "free content" images, which means images that are specially licensed to allow more uses by people (not under ordinary copyright or trademark). Instead what you can do for a logo is to upload it to Wikipedia, which allows hosting some kinds of "non-free images" that are necessary for illustrating articles, if using those images fits with fair use (and a few other constraints). Check out Wikipedia:Logos for a detailed explanation of this, and an explanation of the right templates to use to tag the logo after you've uploaded it. It's a little bit of a hassle to deal with logos, and in many cases it's more fun and useful to spend time working on other kinds of content (like adding text and references to the article, or adding photos that you've taken yourself).
