Choosing to share [Nov. 16, 2012, 3:03 p.m.]

After clicking on the "Upload file" link, go through the "Useful Tips When Contributing to Wikimedia Commons" graphic. It will help you decide whether the image you selected is properly licensed to be uploaded. If it's not, have no fear! Try selecting another image that can safely be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons collection.

You can upload your own photographs or images of your own work.

If you don't have anything that you'd like to share, go ahead and find something with the Creative Commons Search Tool: http://search.creativecommons.org/.

Did you upload your own work, or someone elses?
