upload pics: So, the easiest way to get an image of a person on an article is the following method. If someone is dead, you're allowed upload a fair use image of them if they already have an article. While on desktop, go to the article of the person you'd like to upload an image of and scroll over to the left side of the page, and click "upload file" in the "contribute" section. From there, click "Upload a non-free file". Follow the onscreen instructions and fill out Step 1 and Step 2. When you get to step 3, click "This is a copyrighted, non-free work, but I believe it is Fair Use". For the rationale, select "This is an historic portrait of a person no longer alive." Fill out all the sections with red asterisks beside them. For "Please explain why a free alternative to this image cannot be found", state that you can't find a free alternative. For "Please explain why you are confident that our use of the file will not harm any commercial opportunities of its owner", state that the use of the image will be purely informational. And for "In view of this, please explain how the use of this file will be minimal", state that the image will only be used to visually identify the subject of the article. If you've correctly filled out all the required sections, the system will upload your file and you can insert the filename into the article to make it appear. It's very daunting to fill out the non-free upload form the first time you do it, but once you get the hang of it it's a breeze, because more or less just writing the same thing every single time. I don't think you can upload non-free files to draft articles, but you should be able to for any article that's already live. CeltBrowne (talk) 17:54, 24 July 2021
