To illustrate your article you have some options:

  • Choose an image that is already on Wikimedia Commons, the central media repository of Wikipedia. All images from Wikimedia Commons may be included in the Tech4Biowaste wiki directly. Just click on "Insert" -> "Images and media" and enter a search term in the field. If you do not find a proper image you should search in Wikimedia Commons. Or open the Wikipedia article and follow the link to the Commons category. For example: Call wikipedia:Pyrolysis. In the left sidebar you see a link to "Wikimedia Commons". Click on it and you will open Category:Pyrolysis. Consider the sub-categories too: Like "Caramelization‎" and further sub-sub-categories and "Tar kilns‎"
