Editing Eurovision Wiki:Teahouse (section)

== Images ==

Hi all, I stumbled across and have been working on [[Bickelhaupt Arboretum]]. I think the article would benefit from a picture(s). I don't live there and I understand that we cannot just take any image and plop it in. Is it acceptable to contact the Foundation running the arboretum and ask them to upload an image that they release into the public domain? I also read something a few days ago about requesting images on Wikipedia but now I can't find it. Is there a policy that I can read on what the go is. Also, how do I mechanically add images into an article? As always, thank you for all your help. [[User:Itsaclarinet|Itsaclarinet]] ([[User talk:Itsaclarinet|talk]]) 02:57, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

:You can, but you'd have to make it clear to them what we require in terms of copyright (namely: ''anyone'' can use the image, not just Wikipedia; for ''any'' purpose, including commercial; free; forever; without asking permission; as long as credit is given).
:As for how to include an image in an article: simply add "<nowiki>[[File:example.jpg]]</nowiki>" into the article's source. [[User:DragonflySixtyseven|DS]] ([[User talk:DragonflySixtyseven|talk]]) 03:15, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
::Well, {{U|DragonflySixtyseven}} . . . ''no''. The article [[Arboretum]], for example, starts with <code><nowiki>[[File:arboretum.westonbirt.750pix.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Autumn colours at [[Westonbirt Arboretum]], [[Gloucestershire]], England]]</nowiki></code>. If one were to simplify that to <code><nowiki>[[File:arboretum.westonbirt.750pix.jpg]]</nowiki></code> the result would not be good at all. {{U|Itsaclarinet}}, for an explanation (actually a parallel pair of explanations), please see [[Help:Introduction]]. -- [[User:Hoary|Hoary]] ([[User talk:Hoary|talk]]) 03:53, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
