No problem. As you seem to be interested in basketball, you should consider participating in the Basketball Wikiproject. – ukexpat (talk) 16:55, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Images are one of the trickiest aspects of Wikikpedia (I have been around here for nearly 5 years and I haven't got the hang of all the ins and outs yet!). It all depends on the copyright status of the image. Do you know who owns it? When and where it was published?

The following is a template generated message about images to give you some background:

If you want to add an existing image to an article, add [[Image:File name.jpg|thumb|Caption text.]] to the area of the article where you want the image to appear – replacing File name.jpg with the actual file name of the image, and Caption text with a short description of the image. See our picture tutorial for more information.
If you want to upload an image from your computer for use in an article, you must find out what the proper license of the image is. If you know the image is licensed under a free-license, upload it to the Wikimedia Commons instead of here, so that all projects have access to the image (sign up). If you are unsure what license the image takes, see the file upload wizard for more information. Please also read Wikipedia's image use policy. I hope this helps.Template:Z40--ukexpat (talk) 17:24, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
