<p>
Optionally, you can add an image to your submission as well. If you choose to do this, <a target="_blank" href="https://auth.wikimedia.org/commonswiki/wiki/Special:CreateAccount">you will need to sign up for a wikimedia commons account.</a>
</p>
<v-img

/>
<p>
Open the <a target="_blank" href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard">Upload Wizard</a> after logging into your account. Make sure to read the graphic and confirm you understand the rules about what can be uploaded to wikimedia commons.
</p>
<v-img

class="my-8"
src="/wikimedia-instructions/upload_continue.png"
/>
<p>
Upload your image of the ALPR and click <strong>Continue</strong>.
</p>
<v-img
max-width="450"
class="my-8"
src="/wikimedia-instructions/license.png"
/>
<p>
Make sure you publish the image under a <strong>CCO Waiver</strong> license.
</p>
<v-img
max-width="450"
class="my-8"
src="/wikimedia-instructions/title.png"
/>
<p>
Give your image a descriptive title and caption so that other users understand what it is. For example, you could title the image <code>ALPR (city name) (intersection)</code>. Make sure the date is accurate. Optionally, you may add the image to a category or add a capture location if you wish.
<br><br>
After you're doing filling everything out, click <strong>publish files</strong> at the bottom of the page.
</p>
<v-img
max-width="500"
class="my-8"
src="/wikimedia-instructions/copy_paste_title.png"
/>
<p>
Finally, link your image on the point you created in OSM. Copy the title of your published image, including <code>File:</code> and <code>.jpg</code>. Create a new tag called <code>wikimedia_commons</code> and paste your title as the value.
