Re: Add a URL link to an image

It's allowed, but it's usually better to upload a free image (by which I mean freely licensed, not monetarily free). If a free image would be impossible to create (e.g. because the person is dead), and one cannot be found, you can upload a copyrighted one under Fair Use. With that image, you would simply link like (http://....jpg image]. This is often considered bad practice, but it's usually allowed. Densock|Dendodge^{in public} 12:23, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
