I created the article The Necessary Beggar recently and want to add the book cover to the infobox, but I don't understand how to upload it since it's copyrighted. I read the non-free content wiki but in the image uploader, it doesn't give a non-free upload option. Thanks! --Humanoidgelato (talk) 19:20, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Non-free content cannot be uploaded in that way; the uploader puts images on the Wikimedia Commons which only accepts freely licensed content. Instead, the image must be uploaded locally, but your account isn't old enough yet to do that. You can request a more experienced user to upload the file at WP:Files for upload.
