We are always looking for images to illustrate our articles or provide a useful source of information. If you have any pictures you are willing to upload, they would be very much appreciated. Please have a look at our requirements first below, then upload an image.

Requirements

When uploading images to the wiki, you need to:

1. Adhere to our copyright policy and only upload images that either:

  • You can prove that the copyright holder has licensed under an acceptable free license.
  • You can prove is in the public domain in the UK.

2. Add a Creative Commons License when uploading images you own the rights to.

3. Clearly state the author, license and origin of the image.

Images that do not meet these requirements will have to be deleted.
