You asked about uploading images on IRC. An alternative to taking a new photo yourself and releasing it under a free license would be to ask the copyright holder of that video, apparently Fairfax Community Church, to release the image you want to use under a free license. A standard release form is here; the copyright holder should send that form, preferably with the image attached, to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. Huon (talk) 19:34, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
