Uploading images *READ CAREFULLY*

Tips

• Articles should have at least one image in them.
• Once your image is uploaded (see How-To), you will be placing the exact image file name in the provided Infobox (see WSPA Article Template.)
• Non-free use images cannot be used in Galleries and can only be used sparingly in articlesWP:NFCC#3a. It is usually very difficult to justify more than one low-res image of the same work if one item can convey equivalent information. This pretty much rules out the inclusion of close-ups when there is already an image of the whole work.
• Photographs should first be stored in Flickr, and then uploaded to Wikipedia. This provides photographic documentation which will be included in the Non-Free use Rationale.
• If you want to use an image from Flickr that's not yours, make sure you read *these guidelines*

Resources

• Must-read WP resources: Commons:Freedom of panorama & freedom of panorama.
• Good pages to skim: Wikipedia:Non-free content, Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline
• A similar project was undertaken recently that used images that were taken inside museums and then uploaded to Flickr, and then put into WP: Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art
• Useful links for putting images into Wikipedia.

How-To

Before you begin, things to know:

• You will be uploading your image into [Wikipedia], NOT the Commons.
• Always advocate that the image is educational and also can be used for critical commentary in your articles.
• Be as specific in your information as you can.
• Always include the Non-free use rationale and Non-free 3D art templates.
• When you upload a photo, the image file will have its own Wikipedia page and edit screen. To edit information regarding the photo, you will be editing the image file page, NOT your main sculpture article.
• See the for an example.

1. Upload your image to Flickr (the unique link to your photo will be used in your Non-free use rationale).
2. Start out at the website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload
3. Select a low resolution image to upload from your computer, making sure it is the same one uploaded to Flickr.
4. Fill out the Summary section with the Template:Non-free use rationale:

{{Non-free use rationale
| Description       = <List title of work, artist, date, date of photo & side of the work the image is showing (ex: proper front)> 
| Source            = <Direct link to the same image on Flickr.>
| Article           = <The exact title of your article that the image will be in.>
| Portion           = The image shows one side of the copyrighted work of art.
| Low resolution    = Yes
| Purpose           = The image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the artwork (the sculpture).
| Replaceability    = There is no free equivalent of this sculpture image, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image.
| Other information = The use of the image on Wikipedia will not affect the value of the original work in a negative way or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original.
}}

1. Also add to the Summary section the {{Non-free 3D art}} Template:

==Licensing==
{{Non-free 3D art}}

1. Because you included Licensing information in the Summary, you can leave the Licensing drop down tab alone.
2. Choose the Upload button.
3. If you need to update anything in your Summary section, click the Edit button to update the template.
4. Navigate to your main article; Click to Edit the page.
5. In Edit: in the infobox, type the EXACT NAME (like Exact_Name.JPG) of the photo you uploaded into the "image_file" slot.
6. Create an image size for the "image_size" slot. Try 200px or 320px. Keeping it smaller is more appropriate for non-free images.
7. Preview and/or Save your work!
