[edit] Response

Thanks for responding me on the discussion page of Age of Empires III: The War Chiefs.

Have you got any ideas for improving any AoE article?

[edit] Uploading

Hello Bluepaladin! I saw your question on the Warchief talk page about how you upload an image. In order to upload, just click on "Upload file" in the toolbox (below the searchbar). Another way to do it is clicking "Alt-U" on your keyboard. If you have any other questions, just ask me on my talk page. Good luck! | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 23:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Once you upload it, you will go to the new image page. As an example, I'll use this image. Copy the name, in this case "Image:Example.png", and add "[[Image:Example.png|thumb|250px|(caption)]]" to the section you want the picture to be in. This would produce a large version of that image. | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 23:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Ok, just that you wrote "800px", making the picture way too big; 250 is a good size for an article. | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 23:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Yes, you're right, it is too small. 300 looks good, and it's the largest size I've seen on any article; if someone wants to take a closer look, they just click on the picture. | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 00:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
No, that's way too large. Look at the Age of Empires III article; the screenshot there is 300. If you wanted to see it up close, you click it, and click again once you're in the picture's page (on the picture, or where it says "download high res version). | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 00:15, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
You omitted the bold part. [[Image:Example.png|thumb|300px|(caption)]]. It also puts it off to the side. | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 00:24, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Very good, just that you wrote ".png" (like in the example I gave you) instead of ".jpg", as it says on the page of the picture. I lowered the size a bit, because it was too imposing. After checking the screenshots for the original game, I put on the license for screenshots. Now that you know how to do it, I hope you have a good time adding pictures. Also, I'd like to invite you to a WikiProject I recently proposed (and created). It's for fans of Strategy games of all kinds; if you'd like to help, here's the link: Wikipedia:WikiProject Strategy Games. | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 00:38, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
That's alright, you don't have too. And those petards, wow I love blowing things up. :-) Only, I think you should add a third, with the flarelike things coming down. | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 00:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
