Question from Crithikacella (07:22, 24 December 2023)

Mam How can i know my written contributions in Wikipedia --Crithikacella (talk) 07:22, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Crithikacella (07:24, 24 December 2023)

I posted an article yesterday But when i searched it in Wikipedia after writing that ,it didn't came in the website But it's there in my contributions --Crithikacella (talk) 07:24, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User:Crithikacella, you have not "posted an article": you created a User page, which is supposed to be about yourself as a Wikipedia editor. Instead, the contents of the page are an unsourced few paragraphs about the evolution of life on Earth. Wikipedia already has an article History of life about this topic, which you should be able to contribute to once you familiarise yourself with referencing. For creating an article on a topic not already present on Wikipedia, see H:YFA; for your contributions, see Special:Contributions/Crithikacella. Folly Mox (talk) 19:39, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dylan's account picture

Just out of curiosity how was the image in violation of copyright? And if it was how do upload it because it's very important Salfanto (talk) 00:11, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Social media profiles are non-free media, and Commons (the place you uploaded it to) only allows freely licensed media. To upload it to Wikipedia instead of Commons would require it to meet all ten criteria at WP:NFCCP, which it does not. ––FormalDude (talk) 00:29, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see now. Can it be uploaded under non-free content? Salfanto (talk) 14:57, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also since the account's owner is dead wouldn't that mean that the copyright has expired? Salfanto (talk) 13:43, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No. Copyright protection generally lasts for the length of the author's life plus another 70 years. Also, as I said, the image does not meet all of the criteria at WP:NFCCP, and as such cannot be uploaded under non-free content. ––FormalDude (talk) 06:22, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is there any way that it could be uploaded under non-free content? Salfanto (talk) 13:43, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For the third time, no. ––FormalDude (talk) 10:08, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
