From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi,
I am Dhaval Sudhanva Vyas from London, UK (Originally from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India) and hence have got obvious affection for my mother tongue Gujarati. Just because of that love and affection I am utilising whatever little knowledge of that lenguage I have got in Writing/translating articles in Gujarati and that way trying to enrich the Gujarati version iof Wikipedia.
You are all welcome to ask me for any help that you may think I could be worth of. --Dsvyas (talk) 15:04, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Inserting a picture in an article
The syntax used for displaying an image is:
- [[Image:{name}|{type}|{location}|{size}|{caption}]]
Only [[Image:{name}]] is required. The other details are optional and can be placed in any order. They are:
- Type
- 'thumb' / 'thumbnail' or 'frame'. This causes image to be displayed with specific formatting. "thumb" is normally preferred.
- Location
- 'right', 'left', 'center' or 'none'. Determines placement of the image on the page. "Left" or "right" is the norm, but large panoramas or timelines can be displayed in the center.
- Size
- {width}px or {width}x{height}px (e.g. 50x40px, would limit width to 50 and height to 40). Normally only one variable is used. Use common sense when determining the sizes; you can use the "Show preview" button if you need to.
- Caption
- Any element which cannot be identified as one of the above is automatically treated as caption text. It is traditional to put this last. The caption should identify what the image is, and ideally be a complete sentence that adds to the article by pointing out something a casual reader wouldn't have noticed otherwise, or add information the pertains to the image.
If you have a picture that isn't already in Wikipedia's image collection that you want to include in an article, you will need to upload it first.
