Uploading photos
Hi Diwalost, the best way of uploading photos is to go to Upload and follow the instructions. Uploaded photos must be public domain or creative commons with attribution, see the upload page for links to detailed explanations of what these terms mean. Once uploaded to Commons, images can be shown in Wikipedia and any of the sister projects in the normal way (see Picture tutorial).

Additional points to note: A simple standard guide is at Help:Files. Thanks, Fæ (talk) 13:27, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Logging in - you have to have an account on Commons, this may have already been created under the same name and password as your Wikipedia account, see Special:MergeAccount.
 * 2) Copyright - if the copyright of the photo is owned by someone else and there is no existing free license to reference (for example on their website), then you need to follow the OTRS process and confidentially supply an email from the copyright holder. If you think your photo is public domain but want to check the rules that apply then see WP:RFCA and List of countries' copyright length.
 * 3) Email a photo - see Contact us/Photo submission. You should note that there may be a long backlog and your email may take days or weeks before getting processed. If you seem technically able, you may get a polite request to do it yourself as this is a low priority for the OTRS volunteers.
 * 4) EXIF data - image data may be automatically added by the camera or by your photo processing applications. This will be visible after upload so make sure you are happy that the make of camera, when/where it was taken etc. will be consistent with your upload information.
 * 5) Image verification - the photo can be checked using TinEye after upload, so if it appears on websites which claim 'All rights reserved' or similar then it may get marked for deletion.

Welcome and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page My HTML Coding worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox instead. Thank you.

User page
May I ask, what is your intention with the HTML on your user page? Since Wikipedia doesn't use HTML for its articles, I can't see how it is relevant. There's also a lot of commercial links - perhaps you could read WP:USERPAGE.? Marasmusine (talk) 14:36, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
