[edit] MY! Wiki Questions

1. How come my images from Google Earth were not valid but this one is?
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/49/Penang_Google_Map.png/250px-Penang_Google_Map.png
A partial screenshot of the web page is OK, but an exported image from Google Earth is not?

2. I can cite all the modifications I make to entries. In this case: Banc d'Arguin National Park but how do I insert footmarks at bottom of page?
