Submit picture of IOF .32 revo for Wikipedia?

[MatthewVanitas]

I recently came across the Wikipedia article for the IOF .32 revolver. I notice that there's no picture for the article, but many pics here on the forum. Wikipedia requires that submitted pictures be given a copyright status (ideally similar to public domain) by the actual rights owner.

It'd be a great contribution if some skilled (even if amateur) photographer on this board could upload a good digital pic, to which they own the rights, to WikiCommons for usage in this article. Anyone interested?

It is mentioned on the link that the IOF revolver uses the .32 ACP ctgs, whereas it actually uses S&W Long ctgs... ! Need to get that correction there... ??

I could send the pics of the revolver...

Have corrected the information some bit... dunno how to upload the picture... !

The main way to get pics onto the Wiki system is to go to Commons.Wikimedia.org

Click "upload file", and go through there.

Once you're done it'll give you an image and a name like "File:IOF .32 revolver"

You then just go to whatever Wikipedia page you want the image on, and put that into brackets like so:

[[File:IOF .32 revolver]]

To re-size, place on the page, add a caption, etc., it'd go something like this:

[[File:IOF .32 revolver|right|250px|thumb|An Indian Ordnance Factory .32 S&W revolver]]

Or, to make this easier:

If someone can post a good-quality pic of an IOF revolver, along with a brief statement like "I, the owner of the rights to this photograph, release it to the Public Domain.", I will happily go add it to the Wikipedia article for you.

I'll do it in a day or two... !
