Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Ford Mustang (sixth generation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

How do you upload pictures onto an article?

I have moved this down, because new entries customarily go at the bottom of talk pages, so as to keep the conversations in order.
Start with Help:Introduction to uploading images and Wikipedia:Picture tutorial. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:57, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
The slightly longer answer is that it depends on the image's copyright. If the image comes with a free license that allows everybody to re-use and modify it for any purpose, including commercial purposes, such as the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License, you can upload it to the Wikimedia Commons via their Upload Wizard. If the image is not freely licensed, it probably will not be acceptable for Wikipedia; we take non-free images only under highly restrictive criteria, one of which is that no free equivalent exists or could be produced. I assume the image you want to add is of a car; that's almost guaranteed to be a case where a free equivalent could be produced. Also, non-free images would have to be uploaded to Wikipedia itself, not the Commmons. Huon (talk) 23:16, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
