Images
I made another attempt at improving image layout in Rayleigh sky model. Image layout it a bit tricky. You have to keep in mind that the way images are placed and text flows around them depends on the size of your monitor. If you want to keep an image with some text you have to put the image tag with that text. Otherwise, there is no way to guarantee that the image and text will line up for the reader.

You nearly always need the "thumb" parameter on images. This puts a box around the image and displays the caption in the box. Without it, the captions are not displayed. For smaller images you can use "frame", which displays the box and caption but forces the image to be displayed full-size.

If you uploaded smaller versions of the four animated GIFs, they could be animated on the article page instead of the user having to click on the thumbnails. To do this, upload a version of each that is around 300 pixels wide, using new filenames so as not to overwrite the large versions of the images. Include the small images in the article using "frame" instead of "thumb". This allows the animation to run on the article page. You can put a link to the large images on each of the small images' description pages, so that readers can still find the large images. Let me know if you need help with this.--Srleffler (talk) 05:23, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
