Help me!
Please help me with... I would like to include images of several paintings (painted by the subject whose page I am editing) as examples of his style. They are in the collection of one of the Smithsonian's Museums. How could I go about this? Many thanks.

 * Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Which images are you planning on uploading? Please supply some URLs of the image pages below. Images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, the media repository for Wikipedia and other projects such as Wikisource and Wiktionary must have appropriate copyright licenses – usually, this means the photo is in the public domain or released under a Creative Commons license. Fair-use images can also be uploaded (locally, only on this project, English Wikipedia), but only in specific situations in which they meet certain criteria. Specific URLs to the images in which you would like to see on the page at Robert McCurdy would help us to determine their copyright statuses. Thanks,  TG HL ↗  🍁 18:10, 27 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello TheGoodAndHolyLord and thank you! Here are some URLs for images I'd like to include on the artist's page as illustrations of his style, not sure if that's ok though:  http://robertmccurdy.com/d.html and http://robertmccurdy.com/tm.html Please let me know if including the images on those two pages would be violations of wiki rules in this case.  Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by NotaBreve (talk • contribs) 18:46, 28 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello. It does not look like those images are licensed under a free license: the source code of the website states that "Robert McCurdy images are protected under US copyright law". The image could be uploaded on a platform of fair use, however I believe that more explanation of the painting style and process is necessary to justify an upload: having one to fill up dead air is simply not a good reason. File for upload may be able to provide some more insight on this.  TG HL ↗  🍁 20:34, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, completely understand. Will work around this with citations to articles that include images of his paintings. Thanks again!

 * Unfortunately file uploading can be confusing for new editors. I found it very confusing at first. However, you can avoid most of the difficulties I had by following link: File Upload Wizard. JBW (talk) 18:40, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
