Hey there Templates/Image Problems!

Looks like you may have forgotten to assign a license to the pictures you recently uploaded. I just wanted to double check whether you took these pictures or made these images yourself that so I can give it the correct license:

{{{1}}}

If this is a screenshot, just reply to this message so I can tag the image as Fair Use. If you got it from a search engine, like Google or Bing, or a website you found, please let me know. Images that are copyrighted can't be used on wikiHow and have to be deleted, but you can search for images we already have permission to use by entering search terms in the Search area instead of uploading using the "Browse" button. For more information, see Import Freely Licensed Images Into wikiHow. If you're searching for images on the web, check to make sure they have a "Creative Commons" or "Public Domain" license associated with them, rather than "All Rights Reserved".

Thanks! I look forward to hearing from you soon!
