Hi Nicky, you seem to be having trouble adding media resources.

Try reading WP:IMAGES for starters.

Web media can't be embedded in wiki articles. It needs to be uploaded first, to either here, or (better) to Wikimedia Commons. There are free licensing requirements too. You can link to external media by embedding URLs, but those aren't favoured as they aren't as readable for our readers.

For YouTube, best way is to use the Youtube template.

It's also possible to embed video on the page, if you upload it to Commons, usually in .ogg format.

Embedding HTML isn't the way to go. Especially for, this is too risky for vandalism, so it's either not permitted, or quickly wiped by 'bots anyway. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:47, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
