MediaWiki:Uploadtext

'Below is the main upload form. For a simpler interface and more specific instructions, use FAMEPedia:Upload.' Steps for adding an image, sound clip or video clip to FAMEPedia:
 * 1) The vast majority of images and multimedia files found on the Internet are not suitable for use on FAMEPedia.  Please make sure the upload is acceptable for FAMEPedia before uploading it and if in doubt, ask.  Is your upload free content?  If not, does it meet the requirements at FAMEPedia:Non-free content criteria?
 * 2) Select a descriptive filename for your upload.  For example, "cat.jpg" is bad, while "Mongolian shorthair cat sleeping.jpg" is good.
 * 3) Provide some basic information on the upload.  Where did it come from?  Who created it and when?  What's it an image or clip of?  If it's a non-free image or multimedia file, why does it meet the non-free content criteria?  Information is a good template to use for this purpose.
 * 4) Provide copyright information for the upload, either from the dropdown menu or from the lists at FAMEPedia:Image copyright tags.  If you can't find anything appropriate, please ask at FAMEPedia:Media copyright questions before uploading.
 * 5) Click "Upload file".  After uploading, add the file to the article.
