  4. Press "Share"
  5. Select Upload to Commons 6 The first time, you will need to log in (if you don't have an account, create one at http://commons.wikimedia.org)
  6. Enter a name and description for the picture
  7. Enter as many relevant categories as possible (see: Categorization tips)
  8. Press Save

Pictures with a latitude/longitude are much more valuable, so please:

  • Enable Save location in your camera app
  • Before taking pictures, launch the free GPS Locker app. Another option is to install Fine Geotag which get precise GPS location just after a picture is taken and update its latitude/longitude, it is less precise but consumes less battery. You can use an app such as PhotoMap to check whether the pictures you take are correctly geolocalized or not.
