Image Sizing
Hi. It is not necessary to upload the same file with different sizes: Wikipedia can handle that for you! Just upload the largest size you have. Then, when placing the image in an article, you can resize it as you wish by doing this:  where the "200px" means 200 pixels wide. Common sizes are between 100 and 300, but your needs may differ. You can't control the length directly, but by controlling the width, you control the length as Wikipedia will keep the same aspect ratio as the original file. For more information on how to control images, see Images. If you have any questions, I'd be glad to answer them or you can ask the friendly folks at the helpdesk. Good luck! -- MECU ≈ talk 17:47, 18 December 2006 (UTC) (sig)

Subst: of this is preferred.
