Uploading a photo to your species Wikipedia page

 * To put a photo to your page, when viewing your page click on Edit near the top right of the page. Above the rest of the code for your page, input the following code surrounded by a set of "{{":


 * Taxobox
 * name =
 * image = 
 * regnum =
 * phylum =
 * classis =
 * ordo =
 * familia =
 * genus =
 * species =
 * binomial =
 * binomial_authority =
 * synonyms =


 * Input all relevant information. For an example, see the Polistes dominulus page (hit edit and look at that code). Make sure to link to all the relevant phylum, class, etc. pages.
 * To upload a photo, replace the "" with the name of the photo you would like to upload. If you are using a photo already found on Wikipedia, make sure to put that photo name here. If you are adding a new photo of your own (or Joan's, or someone else's whose permission you have received), then type what you wish to name the photo, followed by .jpg (example: polistes_cassie.jpg).
 * When you view your user page, you will notice that the photo has not shown up yet. This is because you need to upload an image. To do so, click on the file name you just created in the infobox you just created. This will take you to a file creation page, where you can upload your photo. Before you submit, make sure to give some details on where the photo is from (who took it, where the photo was taken) and provide licensing info through the licensing pull down menu below the “upload file” button (suggestion is Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0). If you do not do this, your file will be tagged for deletion. Save your changes.
 * Be respectful of the people who have given you their photos and be sure to acknowledge them!
