File:Commons without text.png

You can also upload files under a free license (no fair use!) to the Wikimedia Commons, a shared repository of content which can be used on all Wikimedia projects in all languages. Uploading your files to Commons is highly recommended.

Please follow these guidelines when uploading files to the English Wikipedia:

• Provide detailed information on the source of the file in the text box; this will automatically be copied to the file's description page.
• Specify the licence of the file by adding the appropriate tag(s), e.g. {{GFDL}}, {{PD}}, etc. See Image copyright tags for more tags.
• Insert the file or image in relevant articles using the syntax [[Image:File.jpg|thumb|Caption]], and other media with [[Media:File.ogg]]. See Extended image syntax for further instructions.
• Use a descriptive filename (e.g. "Eiffel Tower, Paris, at night.jpg") to prevent conflicts with existing files.

See Wikipedia:Uploading images and Wikipedia:Sound for more information, and Special:Imagelist for a list of already uploaded files.

By uploading a file here to which you hold the copyright, you agree to licence it under the terms of the
GNU Free Documentation License.

If you do not want to use the GFDL, you must upload your files to the Wikimedia Commons.
