Make sure the image you are uploading does not already exist - check the articles that your picture is about to see if it is there. If your image is better than one that already exists, you can replace that image with your own by going to that image's page (eg [[:Image:Mike.jpg]]) and choosing "Upload a new version of this file". This will simply take you to the upload form and give your image the same name as the existing one so that it will replace it. | Make sure the image you are uploading does not already exist - check the articles that your picture is about to see if it is there.

The bigger an image you upload the better, but do ''not'' force an image to be bigger than it really is (eg editing it in Photoshop). It is better if you can find an image without captions | The bigger an image you upload the better, but do ''not'' force an image to be bigger than it really is (eg editing it in Photoshop).
