Upload them to Wikimedia Commons by following the instructions there. Then you can put them in an article with wiki markup – see the tutorial. joe•roetc 08:12, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  This page is for questions about the Articles for creation process. Please consider asking this question at the Wikipedia:Reference desk. They specialize in knowledge questions and will try to answer any question in the universe (except how to use Wikipedia, since that is what the Help Desk is for). Just follow the link, select the relevant section, and ask away. You could always try searching Wikipedia for an article related to the topic you want to know more about. I hope this helps.

Hi. Can you please advise me as what to do to regarding publication on Wikipedia of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Irish Food Guide I have only recently been learning the Wikipedia formatting. I thought I had created an article of 'encyclopedic information that is verified by external sources' and I was sure I had written it with an unbiased viewpoint. Is it a notability issue or did I click a wrong box when I was initially applying to create an article? I found this article on [Picking your Nose :) ] and wonder what I need to do to get my article to comply!!? :) Thanks guys. Zackgallagher (talk) 20:21, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That looks like a notability issue to me. One of your references, the award shortlist, only lists the website name, the Donegal Democrat manages to cover the website with just a single sentence in an article on the writer who was nominated for an award, and I'm not sure the interview is a truly independent source: On the one hand, the information is obviously from the website's author, on the other, paper.li seems to be hosting his blog at http://paper.li/irishfoodguide . notabiltiy for Wikipedia's purposes requires significant coverage in secondary sources. Looking at those sources, the author may be more notable than his website. Or we'd need a more detailed published review of the website to clearly establish its notability.
As an aside: While other articles on non-notable topics exist, that's no reason to create more, and nose-picking actually cites multiple scholarly articles on that topic. Huon (talk) 23:24, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
