Hello Sudhirpv, do you have a bigger version of your image Lassen_Peak_Manzanita_lake_sv.jpg? I removed it from the article for now. Images should be inserted as thumbnails (see Extended_image_syntax) and the placement was a bit unfortunate. --Dschwen 19:36, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Dear Dschwen, Yes I do have a bigger image of the same. I can do a thumb nail and add description to the picture. But where do you suggest I place the picture? This is my first contribution. If this goes well, I have plans to add more. Thanks for your help. Sudhir
 * Great, I absolutely didn't mean to scare you away :-) ! It is wiki policy to always upload the highest possible resolutions (as far as it makes sense concerning the sharpness of the image), the Mediawiki software takes care of creating thumbnails. Furthermore image uploads to en.wikipedia.org are highly discouraged. Take a look at Wikimedia Commons. This is an image repository for all wikipedias. Images uploaded there can be immediately used on every wikipedia as if they were uploaded to all of them. As for placement, browse around. Smaller pictures are usually laid out on the sides of the article. If you use the [[image:filename.jpg|thumb|Description text]] syntax they are inserted as thumbnails floating on the right side. For big panoramic images Often a center layout is used, as in the Lasen article. Articles on WP should not mutate into galleries. It is always at the editors discretion what is deemed too many images per aticle. One way is replacing images if you feel it constitutes an improvement. Otherwise on commons images are sorted into galleries (thats the place for them) and many articles just have links to the commons-galleries. --Dschwen 03:56, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
