Ballymore Stadium
I see you were trying to add a photo into the Ballymore Stadium article and you are probably wondering why it didn't work. In Wikipedia, we first upload the image into (English) Wikipedia (or more normally into Wikimedia Commons - which services all Wikipedia projects in any language) and then we use an internal-to-Wikipedia way to refer to it to add it into an article. The second thing you need to know is that we cannot just take photos from random websites because they are (usually) copyright. Part of the process of uploading the images into Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons is asserting that the image is either out of copyright (in Australia this is photos taken prior to 1955) or by saying it is a photo we took ourselves (meaning we are the copyright holder) and we agree to donate it to Wikipedia for use by others. Unfortunately at the moment we have no photos in Wikimedia Commons of Ballymore Stadium so the article will have to remain without one.

I suggest you get started with photos by looking in your own collection of photos for a photo of something that might be useful in a Wikipedia article. Go to Wikimedia Commons and click on Upload (left hand tool bar) and follow the workflow as best you can (take the defaults). When you have finished that process, it will give you the Wikipedia "code" to use to embed that photo in a Wikipedia article, by copying-and-pasting.

If I can help, let me know by replying here or writing on my Talk page. Kerry (talk) 00:04, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
