In addition to Wikimedia Commons, the Wikimedia Toolserver has a Free Image Search Tool (FIST), which automatically culls free images from the Wikimedia sister projects, Flickr and a few other sites. Several other useful, general purpose image search engines include: Google Image Search , Picsearch and Pixsta .
Free images should not be watermarked, distorted, have any credits or titles in the image itself or anything else that would hamper their free use, unless, of course, the image is intended to demonstrate watermarking, distortion, titles, etc. and is used in the related article. Exceptions may be made for historic images when the credit or title ...
The non-free use you're proposing is bascially a WP:DECORATIVE type of non-free use, and it's not really considered policy-compliant to use non-free images in list articles or in a list-, a gallery- or a table-like display per WP:NFLIST and WP:NFTABLE simply to show what one of a group of entries looks like. If the rationale you posted above ...
For details of the wiki markup that produces these elements, see Wikipedia:Extended image syntax#Alt text and caption. Images are typically thumbnails with captions. The caption is visible to all readers, and can contain HTML markup, wikilinks and inline citations. An infobox often contains a plain image with the caption as a separate row.
If you are using non-free images or other media files, you must include two things on the file description page: An appropriate copyright tag explaining the basic claim of non-free use. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags/Non-free for a list. A detailed non-free use rationale. A separate, specific rationale must be provided each time the media ...
While not explicitly prohibiting citations of images, the Manual of Style for captions states "Unless relevant to the subject, do not credit the image author or copyright holder in the article." Wikipedia:Citing sources notes that "For an image or other media file, details of its origin and copyright status should appear on its file page."
For lengthy captions under narrow images, it's probably best to add a heights= parameter to make the images somewhat larger, as the default small size can lead to overly long stacks of caption text. See below. Packed-overlay: This uses <gallery mode=packed-overlay> to produce captions overlaying the bottom of the image. The captions are ...
The reader must be able to determine the source of any quotation, at the very least via a footnote. The source must be named in article text if the quotation is an opinion (see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view § Attributing and specifying biased statements). When attributing a quotation, avoid characterizing it in a biased manner.
