Question from TUGUMISIRIZE PETER (22:05, 8 January 2025)

How do I upload photos to my article? --TUGUMISIRIZE PETER (talk) 22:05, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi TUGUMISIRIZE PETER, good question. The answer is a bit complicated.

• If you took the photo, or if it has been released under a free license, you can upload it to Wikimedia Commons, then add it to the article with wikitext like [[File:IMAGE NAME HERE.jpg|thumb]], or with the "+" button in the Visual Editor.
• If the photo hasn't been released under a free license (like most photos you might find online), you'll need to check if it meets Wikipedia's non-free content criteria. If it does, you can upload it by going to Wikipedia:File upload wizard and clicking "Upload a non-free file", then following the instructions. Then you can edit the article to add it as described above.

You can find a lot more details at Wikipedia:Images. There are many different kinds of images and many ways to use them, with special rules and guidelines in some cases, so please let me know if you have any follow-up questions. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 04:10, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Question from Lovelylittlellama (16:20, 12 January 2025)

Hi there Mx. Granger. HOW DO YOU HAVE ALMOST 70,000 EDITS --Lovelylittlellama (talk) 16:20, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi Lovelylittlellama, thanks for the message. I've been doing this for over a decade, usually multiple hours per week, and some of my edits are bigger than others. Starting a new article typically takes me several hours for research and writing, but many of my edits are small corrections (like fixing links and improving formatting) and some of those only take a few seconds each. Over time they add up. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 04:18, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
