 Summary: Let the image license selector in the upload form do the work. Pick a license from the menu. Choose a short clear image name (spaces are OK). Leave a source link in the summary box if the image is not yours, or the image will be deleted in a week. The source page you link to must have license info for this image. '''Upload. You're done!''' Event graphics don't need a source and are welcome under Fair Use. Pick "event graphic" from the license selector. If you upload, and forget to choose a license, then you can add it up to a week later. Copy it from here: Category:Image license templates. Or upload the image again. The admins will delete the incorrect duplicate images.

Uploading your own photo, graphic, media file
If you are uploading your own images it is fairly easy. Be sure to pick one of the following 3 image licenses from the license selector in the upload form farther down, or your image will be deleted. You can add descriptive info too if you want. These are the same image licenses accepted by Wikipedia, and they allow image alteration, and both commercial and noncommercial image use. If you forget to add a license, or want to change the license, you can edit the image page soon after uploading. Just copy the license name, link, or template tag from the linked pages just below. The admins will correct minor mistakes so don't worry. Be happy. :) Once you release an image under a free license you can not restrict its use later.

Uploading images that aren't yours
Pick the relevant image license from the license selector. 'You must also leave the source page link URL. The source page must explain the image licensing. Otherwise the image will be deleted.' As at Wikipedia the free image license must allow image alteration, and both commercial and noncommercial image use. The admins will decide if the image has an acceptable image license. If it does not, then the image will be deleted.

Event graphics (posters, flyers, and banners)
They are welcome under Fair Use. Choose "event graphic" in the license selector. The source page link URL is not required, but it is helpful for figuring out the city, nation, date, event, organization, history, etc.. For more info and help see Image uploading and use.
