Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed?

Can you please share one example what information is required to upload a picture freely available on internet? When I upload the picture as my own it says I can't do it because it's not owned by me. When I uploaded the picture as freely available on internet, it says no information provided. I'm really confused what exactly is required to upload a picture freely available on internet to Wiki commons. An existing example would definitely help me understand the real issue.

Thanks. Arshad00 (talk) 21:47, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

@Arshad00: Which is the freely available image on the internet that you wish to upload? Can you share the link, I can try to upload and see what are the options that are coming. Otherwise you may ask for help at the Help desk. Jay (talk) 11:47, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
