Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, SteveS1357!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Hi Jeff. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I do have permission to use this image, I just must have missed a step when uploading. I have asked TLS Crop (Telos Alliance), the owner of the image, to reach out to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, and submit a creative commons release - which they have just done. If you have any other questions or concerns, please let me know. SteveS1357 (talk) 14:39, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons. While everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the project, one or more of your file uploads had missing or false information regarding its source and copyright status. Please note that Wikimedia Commons takes copyright rules and infringement very seriously. Files may only be uploaded and included if their copyright status meets the conditions stated in our licensing policy, and if their source is clearly documented. Files that fail to meet those conditions may be deleted, and users who fail to meet them may be blocked. Please follow our first steps, if you haven't already. If you have questions, feel free to ask at the Village Pump copyright question page or on my talk page. Thank you.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 11:54, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi Jeff. I did not intend to post anything promotional. Can you point me to what I may have done wrong here? I did cite a URL to telosalliance.com in the description metadata, but this was in an attempt to be transparent about the source. I had good intent with uploading a current company logo. I am happy to learn, and appreciate any guidance you may provide here. Thank you again for pointing this issue. SteveS1357 (talk) 14:44, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
