How to publish on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons allows users to select a CC license during the file upload process. You must be logged into your account in order to upload files; if you don't have an account, create one.

1. At http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload, choose the category your work falls under:
