STOP! Before you upload here, make sure to read and follow the <a href="/index.php/Special:Image_use_policy">image use policy</a>.
If a file with the name you are specifying already exists on the wiki, it'll be replaced without warning. So unless you mean to update a file, it's a good idea to first check if such a file exists. <p>To view or search previously uploaded images, go to the <a href="/index.php/Special:Imagelist">list of uploaded images</a>. Uploads and deletions are logged on the <a href="/index.php/Plastic_Tub:Upload_log">upload log</a>.
Use the form below to upload new image files for use in
illustrating your pages.
On most browsers, you will see a "Browse..." button, which will
bring up your operating system's standard file open dialog.
Choosing a file will fill the name of that file into the text
field next to the button.
You must also check the box affirming that you are not
violating any copyrights by uploading the file.
Press the "Upload" button to finish the upload.
This may take some time if you have a slow internet connection.
<p>The preferred formats are JPEG for photographic images, PNG
for drawings and other iconic images, and OGG for sounds.
Please name your files descriptively to avoid confusion.
To include the image in a page, use a link in the form
Missing image
File.jpg
Image:file.jpg
or Missing image
File.png
alt text
or Media:file.ogg for sounds.
<p>Please note that as with wiki pages, others may edit or
delete your uploads if they think it serves the project, and
