Step One: Uploading your photo
- Look in the navigation options on the left hand side of the page in the 'toolbox' for the link to 'Upload file' and click it.
- Click browse and find the photo on your computer
- Please try and remember to change the 'destination name' to something descriptive, rather than 'DSC0023.jpg' or '001.jpg'. 'Black Swift (young female).jpg is much better!
- In the summary field, you may wish to add your username, the place where the photo was taken, and any other relevant details.
- Click 'Upload file'
- The page should then show 'Successful upload'. Copy the filename.
Step Two: Adding the Image to a page
- Find the relevant page where you want to put the photo by searching for it or looking it up.
- Click 'edit' at the top of the page.
If there is no photo on that page
If there is currently no photo on the page, you can use your image as the main photo. To do this, place the following code at the very top of the page: [[Image:FILENAME.jpg|thumb|550px|right|(SEX, AGE, SUBSPECIES)<br />Photo by {{user|PERSON+WHO+TOOK+IT|PERSON WHO TOOK IT}}<br />LOCATION AND COUNTRY, MONTH, YEAR]] where the...
- FILENAME is the filename of your photo that you copied in step one.
- PERSON WHO TOOK IT is the original photographer.
- SMALL TEXT PLACED BELOW PHOTO IF NEEDED to give more information (eg Location, Date).
If there is already a photo on that page
If there is already a photo on the page, your image needs to be different enough to warrant adding the image. For example, a photo of the opposite gender, or demonstrating a particular characteristic of that bird.
If the above is true, you will need to find a convenient place in the article to add your photo. You can change which 'side' the photo appears on by changing 'right' to 'left'. You can also adjust the size of the image by changing '350px' - we would however recommend not exceeding 350px for additional photos.
