@Iflaq Hi, it appears to me that you were discussing about uploading non-free content. Have the Kashmir Wikipedia got a policy regarding fair-used images and things like that? If not, please read m:Non-free content and write a policy, or translate it from larger wikis. If the discussion was about freely licensed images, please redirects users to Wikimedia Commons's Upload Wizard. Thanks for your understanding.

@NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh thankyou for pointing this out. We are working in the policy and will complete it by tomorrow. We will use enwiki version and traslate it to local language. Thankyou

@Iflaq To clarify, uploaders will have upload, reupload, reupload-own, reupload-shared and nothing else?
