Inserting images in articles
Hi, photos or any other images need to  use the following  syntax (for example):



You can  copy  that  and then just  change the bits you  need to  include:



You can also use 'file' instead:



'File' takes the software to the location  of the image where it  is stored on  the server. The '.jpg' bit is the electronic file type -  it  might  also  be '.gif', or '.bmp' or '.png' depending  how the file was made. 'thumb' means the software should display a miniature on  the page; if the reader wants a bigger image he can click  on  it  and see the original  size that  was uploaded. 'Caption' is the description that  you  want  to  appear under the photo? The vertical line, sometimes calle a 'pipe' divides the command syntax up  into  elements the server knows what  to  do  with.

Of course, all this depends on  there being  already  a file with  that  name in  the Wikipedia or Wikimedia image bank. if you are not sure how to  upload a file, don't  hesitate to  ask  me in  my  talk  page.--Kudpung (talk) 11:02, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
