Images cannot be embedded from other sites. They need to be uploaded and then added to an article.

Most images must be freely licensed. However, Wikipedia accepts non-free images in different cases. If you have any questions about copyright and images, you can go to Media copyright questions.

To upload images, you need to make an account. If you don't want to do that, you can ask someone else to upload an image for you at Files for upload.
