I'm having a heck of a time trying to upload a photo file into the Supernova entry in the Type I sub-category. I've never done this before, and started at "how to upload a file into an article" - but then ran into all kinds of very confusing instructions after I'd uploaded it. So I started all over and went through the procedure for uploading a federal government file (NASA). That was successful - but then I ran into this, the first file I'd uploaded which is now a duplicate that I can't seem to delete. And now I'm told one or the other of the identical files will be speedy-deleted, although I have provided the copyright info. The instructions are needlessly confusing for a newbie, with all kinds of caveats and surprise requirements. All I know is that the file is legitimate and in the public domain, and is a worthy and very timely contribution to the article on Supernovas. This has taken me quite a long time and I don't know what to do next. I hope someone who knows what they're doing can straighten it all out for me. It's late and my brain hurts. Thanks very much.
