Existing images
Check if the image already exists before you upload the image. Duplicate images should be avoided.

If the image already exists and you have a higher quality version, use "upload a new version of this file" on the old image's file page. Remember to update the source and licensing information if necessary. Do not use "upload a new version of this file" if you intend to upload a different image.
