Document Summary
Can easily find a photo for your wikipedia article using visual editor. Then you will get a search bar. Use this search bar to search images that are already prepared for you to use on. Wikipedia: search for a few different word combinations, can try terms in other languages. Need to write a description of the image as it relates to the content of your article. How to add images found on other websites. Most of the images found aren"t approved for use on wikipedia. Anyone who creates a work is automatically the owner of its copyright: unless produced for an employer, may transfer their copyright to someone else. Free license is a kind of copyright license that says the creator will allow anyone to use their work: with some, or no, restrictions without asking permission, makes it easier for others to use your work. Cc by-sa: this means it"s an attribution-share-alike license.
