Images on Wikipedia
Hello, Nielsen222, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you'll enjoy it and choose to stick around. :)

I'm afraid there are a couple of issues with your addition to Jockstrap, though. First, you may have noticed that the image you tried to include in the article did not display. Wikipedia's articles are not able to display images that are hosted elsewhere. All of our images are locally placed, either on Wikipedia itself or on our sister project Wikimedia Commons. To display an image in an article, you need to upload it to one of the projects. (See Images.) However, in most cases, we can only accept images to which you own the copyright, as you need to license the content for reuse. If an image is previously published, you will generally need to follow the procedures at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the copyright owner, you may able to get the copyright owner to provide permission by following Requesting copyright permissions. Since our required license allows both commercial use and modification, some commercial entities may not be comfortable granting that release.

If you have an image you would like to use but aren't sure about the license, you may get feedback at WP:MCQ.

Happy editing! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:12, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
