Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to
talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should
sign your posts by typing four
tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also 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 useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --

Hi, Infiniti4! Thanks for uploading those two images, but unfortunately they are both copyrighted and thus can't be used in Wikipedia. We can only accept works that are in the public domain or have been released under a free license such as the Creative Commons licenses. Just because something is on the Internet doesn't mean that it is automatically in the public domain. File:Dna origami.jpg has a copyright notice directly under the image on the original website, and File:Dna origami.tiff is from a copyrighted Nature paper.
That being said, there are plenty of scientific images that have been released under the proper licenses that you can upload, if you know where to look. For example, articles from the Public Library of Science and BioMed Central journals can be uploaded because the publishers have specially arranged the proper licencing. Works by the U.S. federal government are also all in the public domain. There is more information at Wikipedia:Copyright FAQ.
Let me know if you need any further guidance. I know the image copyright rules are somewhat complex and there's a bit of a learning curve, but I appreciate your contributions and hope you continue doing so! Antony–22 ( talk⁄ contribs) 17:04, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks antony. I realized my mistake after I had uploaded the images to Wikipedia Commons, but I had trouble removing them myself. There was no option for me to remove my own uploads. I tried looking around for answers but I couldn't find a method.
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Thoresen Chess Engines Competition, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Grandmaster and ICGA ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Welcome to Wikipedia! You recently expressed interest in meeting Singaporean Wikipedians. Are you Singaporean too? As one of the "veterans" and a fellow chess player (hence my username), I would like to know a bit more about you. And yes, I agree wiki markup is too difficult and a huge barrier to newcomers. -- Hildanknight ( talk) 06:28, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
