Welcome!
Hello, Macyah, 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:

Image without license[edit]
Unspecified source/license for File:Lgbtstudentsteachersposter.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Lgbtstudentsteachersposter.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Image information and licensing[edit]
- File:Genderislikeajumper.jpg (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi there. FYI, I have formatted the pages of the images you uploaded, using the {{Information}} template, which is generally encouraged to be used. I also spotted that you had incorrectly specified the license of Genderislikeajumper.jpg to be CC-BY-2.0, when it is actually CC-BY-SA-2.0 (according to the licensing tag on the Flicr page). I have corrected that for you. Although quite similar, those licenses are not the same, and it is extremely important to be pedantically accurate with licensing tags (as someone downloading the image from Wikipedia may rely on them without checking, and an incorrect tag can potentially make the image usage unlicensed and a copyright violation even when it has a free license available).
Lastly, I tagged both images with {{Copy to Wikimedia Commons}}, as they look like they would probably be suitable for uploading to Wikimedia Commons. If there is a reason why these images need to be locally held on English Wikipedia, please feel free to replace that tag with an explanation of that need.
Thanks for your contributions, happy editing.
