Hello, Mokona72, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

To find a good article to edit, check WikiProject Mass spectrometry, especially sections on articles by quality and importance: Wikipedia:WikiProject Mass spectrometry#Assessment; and articles by popularity: Wikipedia:WikiProject Mass spectrometry#Popular pages. There is also a tool that you can use to sort articles, for example Stub [1]and Start [2] class. Remember the goal is to move an article up two quality units: nothing to Start, Stub to C, or Start to B. -- Kkmurray ( talk) 03:01, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Good Day I hope you are able to find a few interesting articles. Cwszot ( talk) 13:24, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
Flowing-afterglow mass spectrometry: Currently this page has a brief description of the ionization method and an application for this technique. I would like to improve this page by finding a diagram of an instrument, other applications, and background information for this technique. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mokona72 ( talk • contribs)
If an image is entirely your own work, it's your copyright and you're free to upload it. If you've simply copied another diagram and deleted a few bits to simplify the layout, it's a derivative work and you don't own the (full) copyright. In that case, you can only upload it if the original was released under a free license.
If it's somewhere in between, then it gets more difficult. If you're using a standard set of components, and the layout is the only logical layout or it's a convention in the field, then it's probably fine. If, on the other hand, it's something more like an infographic, where the layout of elements is creative, then you probably can't reproduce the layout (without it being a derivative work).
Regardless, you should always cite your sources; say that it's based on whatever source it's based on, in the upload notes. Ian (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 15:18, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
Hey I found a pretty useful secondary source for flowing afterglow and I figured you could put it to use. citation: Ferguson, Eldon E. (1992). "A Personal history of the early development of the flowing afterglow technique for ion-molecule reaction studies". Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry. 3 (5): 479–486. doi:10.1016/1044-0305(92)85024-E. ISSN 1044-0305. PMID 24234490.
