Imaging instructions
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 these instructions, please refer to Help:Files and to Help:Contents/Images and media for a master-listing of all pertinent image-use links.
