Examples include movie posters, corporate logos, and screenshots of web pages. To upload a non-free image, use the File Upload Wizard, which will help you add all of the required information. A link to the wizard can be found under "Tools" at the left of the screen.
Uploading images to Wikipedia is a matter of: clearly establishing that the copyright status of each intended upload is appropriate for a free-content encyclopedia; and then; uploading the image with clear labeling as to its origin and copyright status. If you want to upload multiple images using the New wizard, use Commons:Special:UploadWizard.
