:In the upload process there is a list from which you select the appropriate licence. See point 3.
'''3. Clearly state the author, license and origin''' of the image by:
''Images that do not meet these requirements will have to be deleted.''
'''4. Use descriptive file names'''
:It is requested that you give the files a descriptive name which is related to the image. If you are uploading a photograph of something (say a church) in a town, it is preferable to put the town name first, as it makes it easier to spot relevant images when they are in a mixed category) as titles don’t always display fully in the thumbnail. You make any changes to the file names within your own computer system.
'''5.''' <big>'''Please ensure images are scanned at 96 dpi and below 2MB in size.'''</big>
:Permitted file types: png, gif, jpg, pdf. Jpeg files are the same type as jpg files, however for the upload to proceed, it may be necessary to change the file name from jpeg to jpg . You make this change to the file name within your own computer system.
::Text display after a pdf upload.
::An example of the text display after a pdf upload which is a small book file. The 2MB limit on size means that in practice, most pdf uploads will be one page images only. For the actual upload see next section. For the text display click on the Embedded file icon on the toolbar (the icon with two peaks) [[File:EastLancashireRegRecruitsHist.pdf|thumb||Recruit's History of the East Lancashire Regiment]]. If you want this to display as a clickable pdf icon use the format <nowiki>[[File:Fileicon-pdf.png|50px|link=File:EastLancashireRegRecruitsHist.pdf|Recruit's History of the East Lancashire Regiment]]</nowiki>[[File:Fileicon-pdf.png|50px|link=File:EastLancashireRegRecruitsHist.pdf||Recruit's History of the East Lancashire Regiment]]

*Details of the licence holder are added under<nowiki>== Licensing ==.</nowiki> There will already be some wording here generated by the upload process. Add to, or replace this wording by, for example
:<nowiki>{{cc-by-nc-nd-3.0|Details=''Owned by Fred Jones''}}</nowiki> which will generate wording
:{{cc-by-nc-nd-3.0|Details=''Owned by Fred Jones''}}
*Add categories eg for a cemetery in Bangalore add <nowiki>[[Category:Cemetery images]]</nowiki> <nowiki>[[Category:Bangalore images]]</nowiki>
:If you have several images of the one cemetery, you may create a subcategory, eg <nowiki>[[Category:Poona cemetery images]]</nowiki>, (which in turn has <nowiki>[[Category: Cemetery images]]).</nowiki>
:For a list of Categories see [[:Category:Images|Category:Images]].
:If you are a "beginner" and confused about the category to add, type <nowiki>[[Category:Help required]]</nowiki> and a moderator will add the correct category later.
