Getting photos added
How can I get a new photo added please? The one I want is of Lewis Carroll's father:

http://libweb2.princeton.edu/rbsc2/portfolio/lc1/fi/00000000.jpg

There is of course no copyright issue, as the photographer (Lewis Carroll) died in 1898. Thanks.--Collingwood (discuss • contribs) 17:07, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Look for the "Upload file" link on the left side of your screen. That will take you to an upload dialog at Wikimedia Commons, which is where the vast majority of the images we use here are kept. --Jomegat (discuss • contribs) 17:36, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * and when uploading to Commons make sure you select the right license, it'll be PD-old-100 for this. QU TalkQu 17:39, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I have noticed that it is even easier to first go to the Wikimedia Commons site and then log on there with a Wikimedia logon name and password. In this way when you select 'upload' you will be able to use their much easier wizard to add new photos. It takes you through the process step by step. Thanks and regards to all, Armchair (discuss • contribs) 12:37, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Shouldn't this one have a block, since he was already warned... --Panic (discuss • contribs) 18:58, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The warning is from 2008, so I'd be inclined to wait and see if they vandalise again QU TalkQu 19:12, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Looks like they wouldn't even notice a short block; they've got only four edits here, all vandalism but only one each from 2008, 2010, 2011, and 2012. I note they've got global contributions on a variety of sisters; an admittedly very partial check didn't turn up any non-vandalism edits anywhere, and about four months ago they got a two-year block on en.wp.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 02:46, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll keep an eye on it too then QU TalkQu 08:04, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
