Your submission at Articles for creation

I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Thompson Falls State Park. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.

Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.

Here's a video tutorial - hit play, then right-click for "full screen".

Here's an example of how to add references:

Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>

He likes tea.<ref> Smith, John. "[http://foonews.com/Article42 Interview with Chzz]", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22. </ref>

== References ==

That makes the references automatically display as small numbers^[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.

Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put {{helpme}} at the end of this page, followed by a question or get into our live help chat chanel at #wikipedia-en-help ^connect.

How do i upload a photo to my page? JohnDavidStutts (talk) 06:08, 6 November 2011 (UTC)JohnDavidStutts[reply]

You can use the wizard at Wikipedia:Upload to upload pictures. Before doing so though, you might want to read Wikipedia:Uploading images. Regards So Why 10:42, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there!

blurry photo of a pretty gem

Hi John, I see others beat me to the welcoming punch. If you want to add an image to an article that's already in wikipedia or in wikimedia commons ( http://commons.wikimedia.org), the syntax is [[File:name of photo from WP or Commons|thumb|caption you want for photo]] which for a photo like a really bad shot I just uploaded for an upcoming article, [[File:Yogo1ct.jpg|thumb|blurry photo of a pretty gem]] gets you the top image to your right. That markup sets the image at the image default size each user sets on their computer (I think 180px is the default on WP) If you want it bigger or smaller adding the size in pixels after the "thumb" parameter. For example [[File:Yogo1ct.jpg|thumb|50px|small blurry photo of a pretty gem]] gets you the second image. You can insert a photo anywhere in the text, and play with placement to see how if flows. Just remember that everyone's computer will show it a little different depending on screen size and such.

If you want to add a photo that's not already in wikipedia, you have to upload it to either wikipedia or wikimedia commons -- commons is fussier about licensing, but a better choice, because the image can then be used in any nation's wikipedia, not just the English one. Photos added usually must be released under a free license, WP generally can't take anything copyrighted other than with a free license (public domain or the CC-by-SA-3.0 or GDFL that they mention on the editing pages) If it's your own photo, that's easy. But getting photos from other people or web pages can be very tricky. There are lots of exceptions to the general free license rule, but only for the bold who want to spend a lot of time and are motivated to be perusing the WP guidelines.
