How to upload images for use on Wikipedia[edit]

Thanks for volunteering your photos! The best practice for uploading images is to head to the Wikimedia Commons, sign up for an account there, and upload the images there. This will allow us to use the images here on Wikipedia as well. If you don't want to sign up for a Wikimedia Commons account, you can also simply upload the images on Wikipedia as well. Either way, here's how you can do it:

While signed into your Wikipedia account, click this link to open the upload file page for your own work on Wikipedia or this link if you choose to upload the file on Wikimedia Commons (remember you need to sign up for an account there first).
In the "Source filename" area, click the "Choose file" button, and navigate to the proper spot on your computer.
For the "Destination filename", make sure choose a descriptive name for the file like "UH Law Center.jpg"
In the "Summary", you can put whatever information you'd like. Describe the photo, you may give yourself credit for taking it.
In the "Licensing" area, choose a license that you like best. I recommend using the GFDL.
Click the "Upload file" button. It will upload your photo.
From here, click this link. You'll arrive at the proper page to post your photo.
Click the "edit this page" tab on the top of the page, and place your image's link in the "Fulfilled requests" section's gallery.

Again, Thanks for helping out! You should join us a participant! Just add your name to the Participants section.

Thanks for uploading your photo! It looks great! I'm going to add it to the University of Houston Law Center article if you don't mind. Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you stick around and make some more contributions to UH related articles. We need you! If you have any other questions about Wikipedia, just let me know. There are a lot of aspects that new Wikipedians don't get to see or understand so quickly. Thanks again.

Wikipedia Ambassador Program in Houston[edit]

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian from Houston. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors from the Houston area, to help with Wikipedia assignments at Texas Southern University. Classes at TSU will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester, and the role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone in Houston who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page. Thanks!--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:08, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
