I decide to add a picture to the Wikipedia article I made for Hysplex last week. I myself made the image so I didn't have to worry about any copyright issues with the picture. Making the picture was the easy part, but uploading it on Wikipedia was such a pain. I had to read a whole bunch of instruction on how to legally upload pictures so I don't violate any copyright laws and what not. I didn't think the instructions explained how it all worked too well because I was a bit confused after reading them. They told me to upload it onto their commons, which is a site Wikipedia has entirelly dedicated to images. After I did that I assumed I could go ahead and upload it to my article, but then I ran into sharing violations because the picture was already present on the commons site...So it took me a few tries, but in the end I finally figured out the logistics of this whole picture uploading business and now my article has a wonderful picture of a Hysplex!

I decided to pay a visit to this article on Wikipedia to see what has happened since my edits. When I went to the history index on the site I discovered just how quickly wikipedia works. With in hours of me creating the article people jumped on it to correct the format add a few links and references to imporve the article. Good work everyone people should know about Greek hyspexes!
