In response to your feedback

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia.

If you wish to improve illustrations, you can ask people having taken Nicki Minaj in picture to release the photo under a free license.

Photos are generally stored on Wikimedia Commons, our free media repository, so they're available for the English Wikipedia, the Wikipedia in other languages, the others Wikimedia projects and are also available for any source needing educational (in the informational meaning) pictures.

Please first be familiar with Commons:Commons:Licensing

You'll find on Commons:Commons:Email templates several examples of mail you can use.

Imaging helps

[edit]

To use a picture on Wikipedia, we need permission from whoever owns it.

  • If it is your OWN picture - then you can just upload it yourself, at "Commons", saying "It is entirely my own work" - at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Upload .
  • If it is NOT YOURS, then the owner can give permission in two ways;
A) They could put it on a website (flickr, or their own site) with an appropriate licence, such as "Public Domain" or "Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike" (that is an option in flickr)
B) They could email us permission. You could ask them to do that, by sending them an email saying something like:
"Hi, I've written a page on Wikipedia, and I'd really like to add a picture - but as Wikipedia is FREE, we can only use freely-licenced pictures. If you have any which you can give permission for, please send me an email back with the text below, and the picture(s) attached."
-Then add a copy of this: http://enwp.org/user:chzz/help/myboilerplate (having filled the form out)
-And send the email (attached picture file + completed form) to: permissions-commons@wikimedia.org

If any of your questions about how to insert images into an article aren't answered in the above instructions, additional helps are available at:
