User talk:Shawnschweier

Hello, Affiliationwelding. Firstly, welcome to Wikipedia, I'm sorry that your initial foray in this environment hasn't gone very well. I wanted to follow up after my removal of you from the IRC help channel. I'm sorry that you weren't willing to work with us to resolve your issue in a congenial manner. Wikipedia images are uploaded to a central server, and then they can be used on many different Wikipedia projects. I still, however, wish to help you. Wikipedia is not Flickr and is far more complex by nature of it being available to many different languages (in the form of mostly independent Wikipedia projects), and must be engineered to be far more flexible than Flickr. You mentioned that you wished to upload a picture for your draft. Here is the link to the Commons Upload Wizard. You can either reply here to inquire about any problems you might have during the upload process, or you can rejoin the help channel in 24 hours once the channel ban has expired. Please note, however, that you should focus on resolving any problems you have, rather than venting your frustrations.

Also, I notice that your username seems to be associated with a company name. Usernames on the English Wikipedia are not allowed to imply that more than one person might be using the account. I will post instructions below for how you can rectify this situation.

Best wishes to you, Waggie (talk) 01:54, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
