Welcome!

Hello, CrustyCaverns, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have noticed that you are fairly new! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I also see that some of your recent edits show an interest in the use of images and/or photos on Wikipedia.

Did you know that ...

• ...Wikipedia has a very stringent image use policy?
• ...most images from Flickr, online news websites, and other web sources are copyrighted?
• ...Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously?
• ...freely-licensed images should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images where they can be used on all Wikipedia projects?
• ...we recommend that new users use our "files for upload" process – at least until you get the hang of things?

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}} on your talk page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!  Marchjuly (talk) 11:40, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

​ Hi CrustCaverns. The reason File:Windows logo - 2002.svg keeps getting removed from you user page by a WP:BOT is that it's licensed as non-free content and non-free content is only allowed to be used in the article namespace per non-free content use criterion #9. This means that non-free content can't be used (i.e. displayed) on your user page as explained here and it can't be used in userboxes as explained here. Wikipedia's non-free content use policy is quite restrictive and there's really to work around this particular criterion. So, if you want to use an image in one of your userboxes, please look for a freely licensed one that's been uploaded to Wikipedia Commons instead. If you weren't aware of this, then that's OK because it an easy mistake to make; however, if you continue to try and add this image or any other non-free content to your userpage, it will continued to be removed by either a bot or a human file reviewer. If you try to do this too many times, a Wikipedia administrator may decide to step in and take some action to stop you from doing so anymore. If you've got any questions about this, feel free to ask them below, at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions or at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content and someone will try and answer them for you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:51, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Adobe Owl moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Adobe Owl, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Concern regarding Draft:Adobe Owl

Hello, CrustyCaverns. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Adobe Owl, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 11:02, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Adobe Owl

Hello, CrustyCaverns. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Adobe Owl".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Hey man im josh (talk) 13:23, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

I wrote that ages ago and then forgot about it, feel free to delete it if you'd like. CrustyCaverns (talk) 14:21, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
