How do I upload an Image?

From CopperWiki

Create an account with Copperwiki.

• Click on the UPLOAD IMAGE link on the left of the page under Toolbox.

• You will see a "Browse..." button, which will let you browse your own computer to open a file. Choosing a file will fill the name of that file into the text field next to the button called the Source Filename Box.

• You must also check the box affirming that you are not violating any copyrights by uploading the file. Press the "Upload" button to finish the upload. This may take some time if you have a slow Internet connection.

• After you have uploaded the file from your computer. Choose a simple name that is indicative of the file you are uploading. This will make it easy to search for an image with the image search tool. This is the name you will type in the Destination Filename:

• To view or search images previously uploaded directly, go to the list of uploaded images. In quotes is what you will see above the Source Filenmae Box.

• "Use the form below to upload images, to view or search previously uploaded images go to the list of uploaded images, uploads and deletions are also logged in the upload log."

[edit] Adding Images to Articles

• To make your uploaded file appear in an article, you need to insert it: Therefore, edit the article and click the 6th button from the left, on the Editing Toolbar called Embedded Image. This is what it looks like.

• It will show ((Image:Example.jpg)) you this comment. Please fill in the destination filename that you chose for the uploaded image. Copy it onto the Example.jpg and place it where you want the file to appear.

• Important: Image names are case-sensitive. For example, if an image is called Picture.jpg then neither picture.jpg nor Picture.JPG will find it.

[edit] Technical Aspects

• The preferred formats are JPEG for photographic images, SVG for drawings and line-art illustration, PNG for non-vector graphic iconic images, Ogg Vorbis for sound and Ogg Theora for video.

• Please name your files descriptively to avoid confusion. To include the image in an article, use a link in the form Image:File.jpg or Image:File.png or Media:File.ogg for sounds. To include an image as a thumbnail, use
  Image:Apublicaffaircover.gif?
