Someday I want to upload pictures of my Acura onto Wikipedia. I'll do that eventually.

If the photo is just one you took off a website, it will almost certainly be deleted. The only copyrighted pictures that you can upload are ones that are in the public domain (no copyright), or ones that fall under the "Fair Use" guidelines in US Copyright law. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Images

How do you find the appropriate licenses for photos? The ones I wanted to share, are not my own work, I didn’t take the photos. I’m having trouble finding the proper information I need.

You have to register there: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and add your photos.

Feel free to ask with any problem

Ok, so I was bored the other day, and made a account for Wikipedia. I figured I would add some info on the Expedition SUV page as its lacking in a few areas. I added some other minor info and then a full article.

My first written Wikipedia article seen here, not much but its a start:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Expedition

My question is how do you upload photos to Wikipedia? I’m a virgin when it comes to Wikipedia, so I figured I would learn. There seems to be a rule for new users that can’t upload files? But I would like any tips or help from veterans of Wikipedia if there are any here (and I’m sure there has to be)

And while I’m here just out of curiosity, who here has a Wiki account?
