Thanks for your note (retained below)

The main issue with uploading images seems to involve copyright. There are plenty of wiki-pages to talk you through how to upload images and if you can't be bothered to read them you can send an image to me as an email attachment and I'll upload it for you.

BUT the copyright issues are complex for a thousand and one reasons, and unless you took the picture yourself and therefore own the copyright it is not immediately clear that you have the right to upload an image to Wikipedia. And Wikipedia itself is understandably not too keen to get into litigation on this sort of thing. Much copyright law remains untested, as far as I can see, in the US and the UK because it makes no sense to spend thousands to test something in the court in return for a benefit valued at a few pounds (if you're in England) or a few bucks (if you're in the US) or ... whatever (if you're not).

You still have the right to wade through some of the other things Wikipedia wants you to understand about copyright when you try to upload images, but they are not necessarily things that either you or I would find totally transparent / unambiguous / understandable.

I suspect you do not have your own image of a Mazda R100. If I'm wrong about that (1) good and (2) (assuming it's reasonable) let me know if you want any more help with uploading it.

Hi there Charles -

New wikipedia user here, I have no idea how to upload a correct photo of the Mazda R100 - it's highly frustrating that the one pictured on wikipedia is actually the incorrect piston version (a 1200 coupe from the look of things) rather than the correct 10a Mazda Rotary R100 coupe...

THIS is what an R100 looks like - different grille, bonnet, bigger wheels, different hubcaps, different badges, and most inportantly a rotary engine rather than a piston one:

I wish I could figure out how to change it!
