Help:Introduction to uploading images/6

Introduction Adding images to Wikipedia Free content Our preferred type of image Non-free content Occasionally acceptable Wikimedia Commons Sharing images more widely Using an image Adding it to an article Summary Review of what you've learned

Summary Images must be uploaded either to Wikipedia or to Wikimedia Commons before they can be used. If you don't already have an account, you must create one to upload images. Wikipedia prefers free images that can be reused commercially and modified. Non-free images may be used, but only in certain circumstances and if a free equivalent is not possible. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free images, which can then be used by any of the other Wikimedia projects. To use an image in an article, insert: [[File:Image name.jpg|thumb|right|Caption for the image]] More detailed information Wikipedia:Uploading images Wikipedia:Picture tutorial (how to add images to an article) Back to Getting started >>
