You can also upload files under a free license (no fair use!) to the Wikimedia Commons, a shared repository of content which can be used on all Wikimedia projects in all languages. Uploading your files to Commons is highly recommended.Commons_without_text.png
Please follow these guidelines when uploading files to the English Wikipedia:
- Provide detailed information on the source of the file in the text box; this will automatically be copied to the file's description page. If you obtained the image from somewhere on the Web, please include the URL where it can be obtained.
- Specify the licence of the file by adding the appropriate tag(s), e.g. {{GFDL}}, {{PD}}, etc. See Image copyright tags for more tags. Please do not upload files under a "non-commercial use only" or "copyrighted, used by permission" licence. Such files will be deleted (http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-May/023760.html).
- Insert the file or image in relevant articles using the syntax [[Image:File.jpg|thumb|Caption]], and other media with [[Media:File.ogg]]. See Extended image syntax for further instructions.
- Use a descriptive filename (e.g. "Eiffel Tower, Paris, at night.jpg") to prevent conflicts with existing files.
See Wikipedia:Uploading images and Wikipedia:Sound for more information, and Special:Imagelist for a list of already uploaded files.
If you upload a file here to which you hold the copyright, you must license it under
the GNU Free Documentation License or release it into the public domain.
Alternatively, you could upload your file to the Wikimedia Commons under a different free license.
