Image copyright violations
Please take care not to upload copyrighted images. Always look at the bottom of the source website. If it says CC attribution or CC sharealike text and images, then it is probably okay. But if it says "Copyright" or "CC non-commercial" or has no info, then the images are copyrighted. Websites also often have a "terms of use" link that will say. Also, images at websites often have a "credit XXXX" below the image itself which means the image is owned by someone other than the website.
Flickr has a lot of free images. Use this link: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=BUNNYBUNNY&l=commderiv&ss=0&ct=0&mt=all&w=all&adv=1 Then double click the bunnybunny in the url and add the searchword and click enter. It will return only CC images. Others ought to check to see if that still works. I cannot check because Flickr is now blocked here in China.
Also, at my userpage, you will see a lot of US government and other links that have tons of free images.
Hello. I am Anna. I do not know who Noah and Nellie are, but they sound nice.
I have dwarf hamsters. They have no IQ, but they are really the sweetest things on Earth.
I want you to join the community here. Everyone will love you and respect you extra double if you can make this get redder. For me, the most rewarding thing of all is to start articles. Do any of these interest you? We will all help any way you like.
Well, I was thinking of starting John Jeavons, but I can't find a photo. I usually don't like to start articles unless I can find a photo. Then of course, there are the ones at Wikipedia:Requested articles/Images. Why don't you pick one. I'll start it, and we can grow it together. :) If those aren't your cup of tea, then tell me what you are interested in, and maybe I can find a good subject related to that.

Work? You mean will it be challenged and get deleted? I think not. 98% solid. But, if you like biology, and want to make something undeletable, any species will do. Nobody can challenge it. So, what do you think? A fish? A bug? Something else? We can build it back and forth. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:07, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
I thought we were going to work on making an article about John? I was asking do you think the picture is good?MirrorFreak My Guestbook 13:10, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Oh, I see. Sorry, I didn't see the photo there. Actually, that is from here and is a copyright violation. We do not have permission to use that. I must tag it for speedy deletion. No worries. Honest mistake.
So, a species article? You pick one. Let's start it. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:21, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
How about Scarus ghobban? Nice fish. You click the redlink and type something like "Scarus ghobban is a fish." Then I will add something, and then you and then me and so on. Okay? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:27, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Okay! Sounds fun, the fish is really pretty too!MirrorFreak My Guestbook 13:29, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Congratulations! You just created your first article. :) :) :) See the reference I added (http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/190705/0) More info about this fish there. A little known fact: This species can tear a Volkswagon in half, and on a crowded beach, can single out social workers and eat them as a snack. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:37, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Oh my gosh! Is that true? I don't think that the fish is very pretty anymore.MirrorFreak My Guestbook 13:38, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
No. Not true. :) Okay, tag, you're it. Add a fact to the article. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:43, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Feel free to fix my bad grammar. "13 years old" should maybe be "13 years of age". I don't know. Tag! You're it! Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:57, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Thought I might lend a hand - this and this may be useful (run the URLs through this to get usable refs). Yunshui雲水 14:02, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Thank you, Yunshui. MirrorFreak may be able to use the links. For me, unfortunately, they are blocked here in China. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:23, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Wow! This is so cool! I'm creating my first article and actually contributing! I owe you big time Anna, I don't know how to thank you.MirrorFreak My Guestbook 14:01, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
I am very pleased. You are doing well. You can make this the first of many on your list. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:23, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Anna, have you got JSTOR access? There's a fair bit of text in an old edition of Copeia which could be used to flesh out the article. Yunshui雲水 14:14, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
There's also this, if you're signed up to ResearchGate. Yunshui雲水 14:18, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
I think I had free JSTOR as part of some give-away. I can't remember. For now, I can see the first page of that link, and maybe more. I will see. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:23, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Hey (you might be thinking that who is this suddenly coming in) but I wanted to help MirrorFreak when Yunshui pointed me to that fish and as I wanted to help you, I will try to add to that article. ^_^ --Tamravidhir (talk!) 14:20, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
You are very welcome to join in. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:23, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello Amanda, I have got the ping above and am aware what has happened in the past few weeks. I'm glad that you admitted your faults. Not many people do that. It seems you have changed your username, good! Now you should forget your past and do a clean start. The best way of earning experience and respect is to do what Anna Frodesiak is saying. Create lots of articles, don't worry, we are here to help you. Just imagine a huge list of articles you have created on your userpage. It will not take 2 or 3 years, just follow what Anna is telling and I'm sure you will gain what you lost. Best, JimCarter 09:35, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
I can't find much else on this beetle. Can you? Maybe we should move on and start another. Have you started a list of your creations at your userpage? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:29, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
Do you mean articles I've made?Amanda Smalls 14:31, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
Yes. And consider changing "created" to "started" and then removing the "with help from..." Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:38, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
Next article
So, what do you think? Something from the bottom of the sea? How about a horrid centipede? Maybe a virus or bacteria or parasite or something tiny that infects things? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:42, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
Can we do a fishie article? Also, whats your favorite color?Amanda Smalls 14:43, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
Yes, a fishie! I like green, pink, orange, but not turquoise. You? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:49, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
Um, I like purple, pink, and baby blue. But I hate brown. Brown doesn't match anything! And no one, looks good in brown.Amanda Smalls 14:51, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
Oh, before you said you didn't know who Noah and Nellie is. Noah and Nellie are my two pet schnauzers. And I have a virtual German Shepherd given to me by W.carter named Noah.Amanda Smalls 14:53, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
Virtual?
About brown: I remember and old Rodney Dangerfield joke: Guy says "My teeth have turned yellow." Friend replies "Don't worry. Just wear a brown necktie." Another one I remember is a quote, I think from Jimmy Stewart: "Do you ever feel like the world is tuxedo, and you're a pair of brown shoes?"
So, about the fish species article? Any preference? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:58, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
I'm not sure what you mean. (Sorry)Amanda Smalls 15:35, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
I mean I am Ctrl-clicking at all those subcategories. Taxonomy is like a tree. That article shows all the subdivisions beneath. I'm looking at all the different families, etc. to find good species with images to start. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 15:52, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
Your menu
Still has your old username links. Needs fixing. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:01, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
Thanks!
My Thanks 2 You
thanks so much i really needed that for a project! Luke Raven (talk) 10:02, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Amanda, can you please just drop asking Jimbo and everybody questions and focus on something else. It's getting tedious having Jimbo take swipes every couple of days. Why not expand your local town article into a WP:GA or something?♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:42, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
Done Have a fantastic day!Mirror Freak My Guestbook 17:14, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
