 * See WP:Referencing for beginners on how to easily cite newspaper articles on Wikipedia - you should not attach those news articles because doing so would violate the newspaper's copyright; a link (with metadata when possible) or bibliographical information that allows our readers to look up the newspaper in a library archive will suffice.
 * Copyright is also important for images - Wikipedia generally allows only images that have been released under a free license that allows everybody to re-use and modify the images for any purpose, including commercial purposes, such as the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License. If you have evidence that the image you want to use has been released under such a license, or that it is in the public domain (for example because it was published in the US before 1923), you can upload it to the Wikimedia Commons via their Upload Wizard. In some highly restricted cases Wikipedia allows non-free images to be used under "fair use". One of the restrictions is that no free equivalent exists or can be created (that rules out non-free images of living persons because there it's assumed that a free equivalent could be created by simply photographing the person in public); another is that non-free images must be used in live articles (a draft is not enough!) with an explicit rationale explaining how each use is coverd by "fair use". Such non-free images must be uploaded to Wikipedia itself via the File Upload Wizard. No matter how images are uploaded, the procedure for displaying them in an article is the same; the picture tutorial explains the details. Huon (talk) 01:35, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
