Image help[edit]
{{helpme-helped}} How do I add images? Tjross456 (talk) 22:29, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
- First, you have to find and upload the images. Note, Wikipedia can only use 'free' pictures - that is, public domain or licenced under 'Creative Commons' or whatever. If they are your own pictures, that you personally took, then it's easy for you to upload them at commons:upload and give permission. If they are from other people, it is more complex - and if they are just 'found on the internet', then in almost all cases, we cannot use them. See Wikipedia:Uploading images.
- Once uploaded, actually using the image on a page is quite easy. For example.
[[File:flower.jpg|thumb|This is a flower]]- shown here. The word 'thumb' makes it a standard-sized thumbnail.
- If you wish to use it in an 'infobox' - the box at the top right of many articles - then it is a bit different, and depends on the specific infobox; for example, for infobox person, it is e.g.
| image = Bill Gates 2004 cr.jpg- see user:chzz/help/infobox for an example of it in use.
- For more help, you can either;
- Leave a message on my own talk page;
OR - Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end;
OR - Talk to us live, with this or this.
