Summary
- Images must be uploaded either to Wikipedia or to Wikimedia Commons before they can be used.
- If you don't already have an account, you must create one to upload images.
- Wikipedia prefers free images that can be reused commercially and modified.
- Non-free images may be used, but only in certain circumstances and if a free equivalent is not possible.
- Wikimedia Commons only accepts free images, which can then be used by any of the other Wikimedia projects.
- To use an image in an article, insert:
[[File:Image name.jpg|thumb|Caption for the image]]
