Non-free image use

Hi DesertStormer. The licensing of each image you see on Wikipedia is determined by it

File:Rickoz.jpg and File:The Cars.jpg cannot be used on your userpage. Wikimedia Commons is the host of tons of freely licensed images so perhaps there is something on Commons that you can use. c:Category:Rick Springfield, c:Category:The Cars (band) or even at c:Category:Rock music groups all contain some examples of freely licensed files that you can use. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:06, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply

Hi, sorry. This is not at all a big issue to me; and I truly apologize. I had assumed that these images were for free use. But thank you for informing me; I had forgotten about Copyrighted and Unauthorized use of images - I'll be sure not to make this mistake again. DesertStormer (talk) 01:57, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Similar things happen all the time, and it can be hard to guess the copyright status of a file from just looking at it. As I posted above, anything you find on Commons should be OK to use in those userboxes. I say "should be" only because copyvios are getting deleted from Commons all the time, so there's no 100% when it comes to Commons as well. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:38, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Citing

Hi! I can see that you've made additions to a couple of articles that have been reverted. This is not necessarily because your opinions are wrong, but because you haven't provided any evidence to support your claims. Have a read of Wikipedia:Citing sources to help you out.

Hope you stick around. Doctorhawkes (talk) 21:38, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am sorry - I apologize - I'll try to work on it. But maybe you can help me find info on it yourself, while you're at it? Specifically the relations with Tom Petty and Don Henley et. al. I know it sounds very unprofessional when I do not have citations. It seems that I work on topics that are often disputable; so providing a credible and reliable source is harder to find. Thanks for your concern. — DesertStormer (talk) 21:53, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No. You haven't done anything wrong. I understand now that I was in the wrong. All I was trying to do was to better organize the article; and provide a more comprehensive description of the Heartland. Thanks for your feedback. — DesertStormer (talk) 22:24, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
