 7. You now will be asked to describe your images. Create a title for your image and a brief description about what appears in your photograph. You can even add your description in another language by clicking on the Add description in another language link. Also don’t forget to add categories as this will make your image searchable to other people. For more information on the importance of categorising see 7–Adding Categories pg 18 earlier in this manual. When you are finished click Next and the images will be published on Wikimedia Commons. You will see a green tick next to the images saying the process is complete. You will be then given the file path name which you can use to add the image to your Wikipedia article.

8. You can always find links to the images you have uploaded by clicking on the My Contributions link and clicking on your chosen upload. When your file has been loaded click on Edit and using Mark Upmark up [sic] text, add the edits you wish to make. When you have finished, make sure you write a sentence in the Edit Summary about the changes made and click on Save Page when you’re finished. NOTE: you can not change the file name.
