I need to upload a picture.

 * Hi . The copyright holder (generally the photographer) will need to license the photograph appropriately before it can be used here. That is straightforward if you are the photographer. If not, read Donating copyrighted materials and the how-to guide Requesting copyright permission. After you have the correct permissions, there are two main steps: first upload the image, then use it on a page.


 * Go to First steps and carefully step through the tutorial. When you get to "First steps/Uploading files", don't dive in too hastily. First follow the link on that page to learn about the different licensing options. Other useful advance reading includes File names and Manual of Style/Images, which will prepare you to answer important questions the upload wizard will ask you. If after that you have any questions or doubts, there is a dedicated help desk for image uploading.


 * Once you've uploaded an image, the picture tutorial can guide you through how to use it in an article. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:15, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

18:15:06, 20 June 2017 review of submission by Devialet
Hello, I am trying to create a page for Devialet on the English Wikipedia page. There is currently an existing page on the French Wikipedia (as this is where the company was started) with plenty of relevant sources and articles on the company. The issue I am facing is Devialet is new to the US (though 10+ years old in Europe), and so there are not many articles available in english as of yet. I'm wondering if there is a workaround for this considering there is a legitimate page in existence for the company on the French Wikipedia, and I am trying to recreate a similar type of page to exist on Devialet in English. Please let me know if there might be a way to help me with this issue I am facing. If I take out the significant claims like "they are the best audio system..." will that help my chances to have the article be published?

Thanks! Chelsea Devialet (talk) 18:15, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

 * English-language sources are preferred on the English-language Wikipedia, but reliable French-language sources may be used if no comparable source exists in English. For the article to be accepted, you'll likely have to entirely remove, or radically cut back the products and awards sections. The draft also shouldn't have any external links in the text. Turn them into references if possible, or remove them, or move them to an external links section at the bottom. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:30, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
