==Adding Pictures==
===Your own pictures===
Two options:
* You can [[Special:Upload|upload pictures at hitchwiki]] or you can
* Upload [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload upload your pictures at Wikimedia Commons]
Uploading at Wikimedia Commons is preferred since it saves Hitchwiki bandwidth and the pictures can also be used on the many projects that are part of Wikimedia, such as Wikipedia and Wiktionary.
===From [http://commons.wikimedia.org/ Wikimedia Commons]===
We prefer to have pictures that are somehow related to hitchhiking but it's nicer to have some picture than none.

[[Hitchwiki]] loves participation. '''Every hitchhiker''' can contribute. Don't know how? '''It's easy!'''
# '''Create an account''' and [[:Category:Hitchhikers|describe]] yourself and your hitchhiking activity - and edit articles while you're logged in.
# '''Add your knowledge to Hitchwiki'''. Just click edit (even [http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Hitchwiki:How_to_participate&action=edit on this page]!) or [[project:Add a new page|create a new page]]. Don't worry about formatting or layout. There are a lot of keen eyes watching around and fixing stuff.
