Images[edit]
To add an image you need to upload it to Wikipedia via the "Upload file" link along the left side of the screen. Once it is uploaded, generally enter [[File:Hillsboro Shute wooden Indian head sculpture.JPG|thumb|Caption]] for the image to appear. But as a new user you will not be able to upload images for about ten days. If you don't want to wait, click here and you can email the image to Wikipedia to then upload. However, please carefully read our rules on copyright as you cannot just download any image of the internet and then upload it to Wikipedia. You must own the copyright, not just a physical copy of the image. Really old images are often out of copyright (published before 1923) and those are often fine to download, but must other images on the internet are not free, and thus not usable on Wikipedia in most cases. Let me know if you have any questions. Aboutmovies (talk) 07:07, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
- Regarding the template notices on the top, they stay until an editor removes them. Normally it is best for new editors not to remove them, so I would suggest checking with the person who added the templates, which you can see here in the articles history. I would look myself, but I'm not an expert on music items and I don't know why a conflict of interest (COI) template was added. Good luck. Aboutmovies (talk) 21:47, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
