there. Important note: if you don't want to wait until you are autoconfirmed, |
you may ask somebody else to upload a file for you at Wikipedia:Files for |
upload . In very rare cases an administrator may make your account confirmed |
manually through a request at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Confirmed . |
Step 1: Choose your file File: Choose a file from your computer. Maximum file |
size: 100 MB. Permitted file types: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, xcf, pdf, mid, mp3, |
mpeg, mpg, ogg, ogv, opus, svg, djvu, tiff, tif, oga, flac, wav, wave, webm, |
webp. Step 2: Describe your file Please provide a clear, descriptive name by |
which your file will be known on Wikipedia. This name must be unique across |
the whole of Wikipedia, so please make it informative and easy to recognize. |
It's no problem to use a fairly long name. It may also include spaces, commas |
and most other punctuation marks. Please also note that file names are case |
sensitive (with the exception of the first letter). Good: "City of London, |
skyline from London City Hall, Oct 2008.jpg". Bad : "Skyline.jpg", |
"DSC0001234.jpg". Sorry, a few special characters and character combinations |
cannot be used in the filename for technical reasons. This goes especially for |
# < > [ ] | : { } / and ~~~ . Your filename has been modified to avoid these. |
Please check if it is okay now. The filename you chose seems to be very short, |
or overly generic. Please don't use: Titles that consist only of very generic |
descriptive words (e.g. "Sunset.jpg", "Townhall.jpg") Titles that consist only |
of a person's first or last name, when that name is likely to be shared by |
many others (e.g. "John.jpg", "Miller.jpg") Titles that consist of mere |
numbers, of the kind often produced by digital cameras ("DSC_001234", |
"IMGP0345"), or random strings like those sometimes found on the web |
("30996951316264l.jpg") Existing file . Last uploaded by Example user . A file |
of this name already exists on Commons! If you upload your file with this |
name, you will be masking the existing file and make it inaccessible. Your new |
file will be displayed everywhere the existing file was previously used. This |
should not be done, except in very rare exceptional cases. Please don't upload |
your file under this name, unless you seriously know what you are doing. |
Choose a different name for your new file instead. If you want to replace the |
existing file with an uncontroversial, improved version of the same work, |
please go to Commons and upload it there, not here on the English Wikipedia's |
local wiki. A file of this name already exists. If you upload your file with |
this name, you will be overwriting the existing file. Your new file will be |
displayed everywhere the existing file was previously used. Please don't do |
this, unless you have a good reason to: No , I don't want to overwrite the |
existing file. I will choose a different name for my new file instead. Yes , I |
want to overwrite the existing file. My file is merely a new, improved and |
uncontentious version of the same work. The old description page, including |
the source and copyright information, will still be correct for the new |
version and can remain the same. Yes , I want to overwrite the existing file, |
and I will use this wizard to add a new description and new source information |
for it. The previous version was my own, or else I have made sure the previous |
uploader(s) don't object to this replacement. Please provide a brief |
description of the contents of this file. This will be stored and displayed as |
part of the file description page. It is important that other editors are able |
to understand what this file is about. What does this file show? What is it a |
photo/diagram/recording of? It will be helpful if you also add a wikilink to |
the article where you want to use it. Step 3: Provide source and copyright |
information It is very important that you read through the following options |
and questions, and provide all required information truthfully and carefully. |
This is a free work. I can demonstrate that it is legally okay for anybody to |
use, in Wikipedia and elsewhere, for any purpose. Thank you for offering to |
upload a free work. Wikipedia loves free files. However, we would love it even |
more if you uploaded them on our sister project, the Wikimedia Commons . Files |
uploaded on Commons can be used immediately here on Wikipedia as well as on |
all its sister projects. Uploading files on Commons works just the same as |
here. Your Wikipedia account will automatically work on Commons too. Please |
consider uploading your file on Commons . However, if you prefer to do it here |
instead, you may go ahead with this form. You can also first use this form to |
collect the information about your file and then send it to Commons from here. |
