I doubt you will have to create an infobox, because there are already many readily available. If you're writing about a person, use {{infobox person}}; if you're writing about a company, use {{infobox organization}}. For more help with infoboxes, please see Help:Infobox. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 19:43, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me with... adding an images to my info box. How do I go about adding images via the url link or uploading an image from my desktop?

Images are a tricky topic due to copyright restrains. Wikipedia vastly prefers freely-licensed images that everybody may re-use for any purpose, including commercial purposes. Non-free images are only permitted under the strict non-free content criteria, one of which states that non-free images must be used only in articles, not in drafts. If the image you want to upload has been released under a free license such as the CC BY-SA 3.0 License, you can upload it to the Wikimedia Commons via their Upload Wizard. (You cannot display external images on Wikipedia; they must always be uploaded to the Commons or, for non-free images, to Wikipedia itself.) How to add it to an infobox once it's uploaded unfortunately depends on the specific infobox, but the template documentation will generally explain that.

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 21:08, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
