User talk:Alvar26
For uploading pictures and other media, it's easiest to go to Wikimedia Commons (you can use your Wikipedia credentials if you're not logged in already) and visit the Upload Wizard. Wikimedia Commons can only accept files which anyone can use for any purpose. That means most content you find on the web is not acceptable. But for example, most photos that you've taken yourself are OK to upload.
Here's a screenshot of the Upload Wizard:
You start by selecting the files you want to upload, then you go step by step through the process. In the final step, you'll get some wiki markup that you can copy into a Wikipedia article. Let me know if I can help. :-)

Welcome to Wikipedia! I'm sorry you had a hard time getting a picture on Wikipedia. Instead of explaining myself, I'm going to point you to a good explanation written by other editors. Check out this link for information about uploading a file if the picture you want to use isn't already on Wikipedia. It also says a bit about adding the picture to the article. If you need for information about adding the image to the article, check out this page. If you have any more questions, feel free to leave a note on my talk page.
