Preliminarily, recognizing the hypocrisy of this at once, a more efficient organizational approach is usually to have a user-based category. Per the Categorization Policy, you may have one (and only one), with the syntax "Category:Articles by [name]". This is mine. But that's just a thought.

Moving along, I changed the article name for you.

You're thinking of free-use and free-edit articles. Anyone may use free-use articles (hence the name), but only the original author may edit them; by contrast, free-edit articles may be used and expanded by anyone (but preexisting content shouldn't be unilaterally modified). Dropping the appropriate template (  and  , respectively) will auto-add the corresponding category to a page.

For images, it's not as clear-cut an issue. Let's take this one. You uploaded it, but you didn't create the image; you're claiming it as Fair Use. Per the Image Policy, any other user may use the image as well (it's not yours, so you have no rights to it), but in doing so, each of those users separately asserts Fair Use as well.

That said, you can always drop a blog post to announce your intentions to the community.
