i have an issue i am desperate to solve, and if anyone could help me i would be greatly pleased and thankful. for this article "iaal fortress" i would like to add an image. the image i would like to add is the middle photo of the 2nd reference site of the article. However, i would also like/appreciate the person who helps me to also record a step-by-step procedure for transferring this image to the wiki article, on this discussion page, so that i may be able to add images to wikipedia on my own in the future. Thankyou to the helper- whoever they are, and please respond ASAP because this is urgent and i am desperate to further my knowledge of the wiki system.Artefactual (talk) 05:31, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please read Wikipedia:Image use policy. - Darwinek (talk) 23:49, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

thankyou very much for the prompt reply. i have tried to used the method given in "Wikipedia:Image use policy," however, i cannot seem to be able to actually implement the steps given- in my opinion there is too much procedure and too little examples. i believe the image policy page is lacking one very important section, that would otherwise innumerably aid fellow wikipedians in their quest to upgrade their editing skills - it needs to include 1 full example of how to add an image to wikipedia i.e. the process from the beginning to the end. hope to hear your opinion soon, and also see what should be done about my initial request in this discussion. thankyou.Artefactual (talk) 07:19, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is actually very easy, go to Wikipedia:Upload and just upload your picture. ;) Remember however that it should be without copyright. The best would be if it would be photo taken by you. - Darwinek (talk) 10:29, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

thankyou once again for your help and attention. i will try implementing the guide you have given me. however, i cannot just yet, as i am not an autoconfirmed wiki user- hence i cannot upload images just yet. one last question... is it possible to upload an image from a document file such as microsoft word, or pdf? thanks again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Artefactual (talk • contribs) 00:27, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, unfortunately it is not possible. - Darwinek (talk) 17:39, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ah well, that is too bad. perhaps the wiki team could look into expanding the useability of the wiki service by looking into this aspect. anyhow thanks for everything- really appreciated.Artefactual (talk) 23:07, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
