Images

Hi Liam,

The destination to go for uploading depends on whether the image is copyrighted or not. If it is copyrighted, there's an "Upload file" option on the left side of any page. However, copyrighted images of living people are only allowed in extremely rare circumstances, like a person who is jailed for life or has gone missing.

If there is no copyright, go to Wikimedia Commons. You will be automatically logged in under your Wikipedia user name. When you upload there, they will ask you if you took the photo yourself, or if there is evidence that it is not copyrighted.

Let me know how you get on '''tAD''' (talk) 03:39, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia doesn't have software that allows embedding, because it could be exploited to images where it is not allowed. The image would have to be uploaded to Commons, and you would have to explain there why it is allowed to be used. In the uploading process on Commons, there will be boxes where you describe the terms by which the image is allowed to be used on Wikipedia '''tAD''' (talk) 10:29, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi AL. There are other grounds for notability such as widespread media coverage etc. The page also went through numerous administrators in the DYK process and was passed without any issue. I think we both know the issue here isn't with regard to the page but rather with the ongoing discussions regarding Alvaro Dominguez. It is a pity that it has had to come to this. Liam E. Bekker (talk) 13:30, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
I don't personally see any
WP:RS with an article exclusively for him (El Desmarque is not enough to pass through GNG, by the way), that's why I nominated him for deletion (as I did with Idris Kanu). The discussion related to Álvaro, despite being a clear lack of respect and lack of willingness to work with other people and respect other people's work, is another subject. Cheers, MYS77

No, kind fellow user Liam, no hidden agenda here, I was asking the question out of sheer curiosity, I am not siding with you because you removed the PROD tag or MYS77 because he added it.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback.
