how to upload picture --Phumelele Madikane (talk) 15:26, 3 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Phumelele Madikane First, you log into Wikimedia Commons with your Wikipedia account. Wikimedia Commons is a sister site to Wikipedia; if you have a Wikipedia account, you have a Commons account, and vice versa.
Then, you go through the upload wizard, making sure the photo actually qualifies for inclusion on Commons. Basically, in theory, if anyone can put the image on a t-shirt and sell it, it can be uploaded to Commons.
If the photo doesn't qualify for inclusion on Commons, then I suggest going through the tutorials I've linked to on your talk page to get some experience and intuition as to what Wikipedia has in both images and text. After a few days, you might be able to upload what's called a "fair use" image on Wikipedia, but fair use images are very, very rare here. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 17:58,

I'm better at using the editor so now I'm going to help some peeps learn to edit! (aka adopting peeps on wiki)
