If your file is free for anyone to use, please upload it on Wikimedia Commons

If you have never previously uploaded a file to a Wikimedia project, you might benefit from reading Uploading files. If you are already familiar with uploading files to another Wikimedia project, see Wikiversity:Uploading files for details on Wikiversity-specific guidelines.

After you upload an image, to include the image in a page, use a link in the form [[Image:File.jpg]]. You can control the location and size of the image as it appears on the page as well, e.g. [[Image:File.jpg|left|200 px]]

Remember, if a file already exists on Wikimedia Commons, you should not upload it here! You can use images from commons in the same way you use them locally. Also, if you are uploading files under a free license, you should also use commons so that your file can be used on other wikimedia projects, including the Wikiversities in other languages. Information is available on Commons:Upload to help you understand free licenses vs. "fair use" licenses.

If the copyright on your file is unsuitable for commons, use the form below to upload files. To view or search previously uploaded images go to the list of uploaded files. Uploads and deletions are also logged in the upload log.

Please add important information about the file by using Template:information in the "Summary" field, below (for details, including allowed file types, see Wikiversity:Uploading files).
