in response to your feedback hi glcork can i suggest you practice on the sandbox until you get the hang of things to add an image see the instructions below for uploading pictures and other media it's easiest to go to wikimedia commons you can use your wikipedia credentials if you're not logged in already and visit the upload wizard wikimedia commons can only accept files which anyone can use for any purpose that means most content you find on the web is not acceptable but for example most photos that you've taken yourself are ok to upload here's a screenshot of the upload wizard you start by selecting the files you want to upload then you go step by step through the process in the final step you'll get some wiki markup that you can copy into a wikipedia article let me know if i can help
