Thank you for uploading File:040106peyer-mug.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Image Screening Bot ( talk) 02:05, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for making the effort to add images to Wikipedia. I know that there's a lot to learn, and it can be difficult to know how to start. Since you mentioned taking the image from a magazine, the copyright belongs to the original photographer or the magazine, and it is probably not covered by a free license. (In order for something to have a free license, the photographer or magazine would have to have specifically decided to use one, and specifically posted or communicated it somehow. Just the fact that it's on the Internet for anyone to see is not enough). In general, Wikipedia cannot host or use this kind of image. In limited circumstances, we can use images under "fair use," but the rules are pretty strict. Basically, you would have to make an argument that this particular image is so important that it should get an exception from the general rules. The best option is to use freely licensed images. If you have a connection with the magazine or the photographer, you could try asking them for a free license. -- Amble ( talk) 23:20, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

I can straighten out grammar, re-word sentences for clarity, etc. But I've only fixed what I ran into by sheer coincidence. Do editors have a way to request help with copy editing?

I've just seen your question on the Help Desk about creating userpages, and I had two comments that I hope will help: (1) You may be interested in adding a German-language userbox to your userpage (it's a little thing similar to the Guild of Copy Editors notice that you've already added); simply type {{ user de-1}}, {{ user de-2}}, {{ user de-3}}, {{ user de-4}}, {{ user de-5}}, or {{ user de-N}} (click them first, so you can know what they'll show; the bigger the number, the better of a speaker that it says you are, and N = native speaker) where you currently have the bit about speaking German. (2) Pages of all types can be created simply by going to the page, entering text, and clicking "save". A good way to go to the nonexistent page is to find a red link (or create a red link yourself, such as by going to the sandbox and typing the title of the article in double brackets [[like this]]) and click on it; this will take you straight to the page where you can start typing.
