[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, Laura SA, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

You may want to use the 'thumb' option instead of 'frame' when adding your images to articles. They are beautiful, and users will be able to click on the thumbnail to view the fullsize picture.

Again, welcome!  ~ BigrTex 18:28, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

The top edge of the image will line up with the middle of the next text in the edit box. I'm not sure if that was the problem you were having with the Mapungubwe National Park image. They are frequently the first line after the section header, which allows other editors to move them when they edit the section to which the image pertains.

The 'thumb' option gives a specific size to all image, you can use '#px' to specify a different width, and left and center can replace right.
Finally, there is the <gallery> feature that allows you to put multiple pictures on a page that doesn't have enough text to format around:

I hope these examples have been helpful. I'm happy to help if you have additional questions. ~ BigrTex 20:31, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

WP:References is the guide for referencing information. I use the Footnotes style they describe and these Citation templates to set up the structure.

I learned everything I know from the pages I linked to above and from looking at and working on articles that were referenced. The best example I can give you that I've worked on is Mansfield Cut Underwater Archeological District. If you 'edit' that page, you can see how the references were set up to create both ends of the footnotes and for multiple references to the same source in the article.

If you want to try one and have me take a look at it, I'd be happy to give you feedback. ~ BigrTex 14:23, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
