==Uploading images==

* Articles should have at least one image that is located in the infoboxInfobox.

* Only upload an image AFTER your article is live. Non-free images cannot be used in drafts. Also, images considered orphans (not in live articles) are often deleted.

* Non-free use images can only be used '''[[WP:NFCC#3a|sparingly]]''' in articles in order to provide basic visual identification of the artwork.

:-Only low resolution images can be uploaded and used in articles.

:-[[Wikipedia:PIC#Galleries| Galleries]] of Non-Free images are not permitted.

:-Close up or detail photos are typically not permitted if the image is Non-Free.

* Upload your personal photo to [http://www.flickr.com/ Flickr] first. This provides photographic documentation which will be included in the Non-Free use Rationale.

===Non-Free (Fair Use) Images===

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload| Wikipedia]

To make a fair use claim, you would have to discuss the topic in the article, and to cover the intent of the fair use exceptions under U.S. copyright law. Also you will likely need to limit the images to only a few lower resolutions images of the artwork. The proper licence for these kinds of images is {{tl|Non-free 3D art}} (that template clearly states that a fair-use rational must be used.) Further, the images '''MUST''' comply with all 10 [[WP:NFCC|non-free content criteria]], which preclude using galleries under the minimal use criteria.

* Articles should have at least one image that is located in the infobox.

* Once your image is uploaded (see How-To below), you will be placing the exact image file name in the provided Infobox (see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Public art/Article template| Public art article template]].)

* Non-free use images can only be used sparingly in articles (See [[WP:NFCC#3a]]) and <u>cannot</u> be used in [[Wikipedia:PIC#Galleries| Galleries]]. It is usually very difficult to justify more than one low-res image of the same work if one item can convey equivalent information. This often rules out the inclusion of close-ups when there is already an image of the whole work.

* If you are creating new photographs of an artwork, it is recommended that you first upload them to a [http://www.flickr.com/|Flickr account], and then upload them to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload| Wikipedia] or [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page| the Commons], depending on the copyright restrictions. This provides photographic documentation which will be included in the Non-Free use Rationale.

'''Your articles should contain at least one image, placed in the Infobox.'''

* Add an image to your article only after it is live in Wikipedia main space.

* [http://www.flickr.com/ Flickr] is a very good place to store your images if you are creating new photo documentation about an artwork, and can be a good transitional space to Wikipedia.

*For photographs of 3-D objects, please use the Commons template [[Commons:Template:Information|Information]] and follow the guidance at [[Commons:Template:Information/doc]].

If you really want to know the details of [[United States copyright law]], you should read [[Nimmer on Copyright]]''<ref>Nimmer, Melville B., and David Nimmer (1997). ''Nimmer on Copyright''. Albany: Matthew Bender.</ref>'' it is considered "the Bible" of copyright law.
