After the upload, you must edit the license to include all necessary information, like attribution. You should also add a summary with description, source, date, and author. Please note, that the summary does not replace the license information and attribution. Even if a summary with source and author is present, a full attribution is still required in the license section (depending on the license terms of the work).

If the image is put under a licenes which is not available in the dropdown menu, but it is a free license that allows an upload to the SweepMe! Wiki, you can use the other license option and enter all necessary information manually. However, you must not upload copyrighted work which does not allow redistribution without further permission.
