How to upload an image and place it in an article

Ideas
Uploading an image in four (not quite easy :/ ) steps:
 * 1) Choose an image
 * 2) *Image needs to be "free" "open"
 * 3) **Meaning of "free" has to be clear about copyleft, hence note "open" instead
 * 4) **If it's yours, you can make it free, it's yours to do whatever you want with
 * 5) **If not, you need to be sure it's already free
 * 6) **Ignore the fair-use case? Complicated, but relevant to wikis where it's applicable.
 * 7) Go to upload page
 * 8) *Select file on your computer
 * 9) *Fill in applicable license. If yours and not sure, CC-BY-SA a safe bet, same as for your text contributions
 * 10) *Fill in template with information about it:
 * 11) **Information in template goes after each |parameter=
 * 12) **A basic description: who, what, where, when, perhaps how
 * 13) **Who made it (if you, write your name the way you want to be credited!)
 * 14) **What license
 * 15) **Any special notes
 * 16) Hit the upload submit button
 * 17) *Edit as necessary, whenever
 * 18) Include your image in an article using Example.png
 * 19) *Only go into easy "thumb" method, image syntax is confusing!
