Please help me with... I want to add https://www.flickr.com/photos/emienke/5461913708/in/photostream/ to my article but I can't find it when I click 'insert media'. Another picture is also good, I prefer a picture with more focus on the hair and the rinsing. When I search for 'rinse hair' I only see a picture of a woman washing her hair in space! And some really old pictures I can't use.

Photos cannot be inserted directly from web URLs. Instead, they must first be uploaded to either WikimediaCommons (if suitably licensed) or directly to en-wiki (for certain non-free images accompanied by suitable fair-use rationales).

While some Flickr photos are released with a license that allows copying them over to Commons, the photo you expressed interest in has a restrictive copyright claim and cannot be used on Wikipedia. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:04, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How do I find a similar photo that I can use?Sarahmuffins (talk) 03:37, 18 June 2018 (UTC) What is en-wiki and WikimediaCommons?Sarahmuffins (talk) 03:39, 18 June 2018 (UTC) I found https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page. Google says en-wiki means English Wikipedia? But I still don't know how to find a hair rinsing picture.Sarahmuffins (talk) 03:58, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Some editors take these sorts of pictures themselves and upload them to Commons with the needed license. Or have their friends do it. It's also possible to ask the Flickr phtotographer if they'd be willing to make the photo available. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:41, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
