I want to add images to articles

Why Should I Participate?

Photos are needed to illustrate thousands of articles across Wikipedia in its multiple language versions. Thousands of articles on English Wikipedia have no images at all. Imagine if every Wikipedia user took five minutes to add one image to an article!

Do you have a topical category of images you think are underutilized?

Have you already found a category of photos on a topic of interest? The resources below explain how to add an image file to a Wikipedia article:

I want to organize #WPWP

Do you want to organize a #WPWP campaign in your geographic, thematic, or language community?

WPWP aims at bridging the content gap by using images collected as part of various annual thematic contests and photowalks organized in recent years. It can be used by communities to recruit new members, as only a few steps are required to add photos to Wikipedia articles. One benefit of organizing WPWP is to guide newcomers through the editing process while focusing on meaningful content.

Don't forget to use the hashtag #WPWP in the Edit summary! Note that you MUST provide an edit summary for all your edits.
