In response to your feedback

For uploading pictures and other media, it's easiest to go to Wikimedia Commons (you can use your Wikipedia credentials if you're not logged in already) and visit the Upload Wizard. Wikimedia Commons can only accept files which anyone can use for any purpose. That means most content you find on the web is not acceptable. But for example, most photos that you've taken yourself are OK to upload. Check out the copyright rules.

Here's a screenshot of the Upload Wizard:

You start by selecting the files you want to upload, then you go step by step through the process. In the final step, you'll get some wiki markup that you can copy into a Wikipedia article. Let me know if I can help.

Logo copyright

Click on the current logo and read the copyright blurb. You might be able to use the same rationale when you upload the current logo, but Wikipedia has tightened up a lot on copyright lately. Otherwise ask at WP:Copyright questions they try to be helpful!!--Harkey (talk) 18:35, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
