Image upload problems

How are you trying to upload images? Personally, I feel that the commons upload wizard is not actually that complicated for your own images. Have you tried it Commons:Special:UploadWizard? It does not require anything I would call 'coding. It does require a small amount of reading and thinking about stuff you may not have thought about before but this may be a good think. For example, do you understand that if you choose to upload your images, you are not simply contributing them to wikipedia? Anyone anywhere is legally free to use them in accordance with the terms of the licence, whether commercially or whatever. This includes modifying them in any way they wish, recolours them, removing watermarks, cropping out what you photographed and putting onto a video etc. There are some licences e.g. the GFDL which make re-use in some contexts (such as printing them on a shirt or on a mug) less likely but ultimately you should expect they may be re-used. On the other hand, if you're happy for this to happen, maybe it will be better to choose the default licence Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 4.0. This is almost (we use 3.0) the licence primarily used by wikipedia for textual contributions nowadays. If you're happy with that licence, it's offered by default for your own work, so you don't have to worry about choosing licence. Note that in case where what you photographed is natural, or so old that it's clearly not under copyright, it would likely be simplest if you choose 'own work' in the wizard.
