Note that the picture is fullsize and placed directly in ===In the line of text, where you linked to it.fullsize===
That is, you'll have "Image:" followed by the image name you chose, then a pipe ("|"), then the alignment you want ("left" or "right"), then the size (either "thumbnail" or some number of pixels, like "200px"), then another pipe ("|"), then the caption. All between two brackets. Make sense?

This page will tell you how to sprinkle your article with photos, as in the [[Cribbage]] article.
==1. Upload the picture==If the picture you want to include isn't yet in Willipedia's [[Special:Imagelist|File list]], you'll need to upload it.
# To ensure a smooth upload, ensure your photo is a reasonable size. If you open it up with whatever photo program you use, and a zoom of 100% lets you count nose hairs, it's probably too big. The software recommends a size limit of 140 KB; 400KB is as high as you should go. Most image programs have resize features to help you out.

# Click "Upload file."
==2. Add the Adding an uploaded picture to an article==# Now your You have a lot of options when it comes to placing the image should be on in the serverarticle. To include You can specify a side of the page for it at fullsize in your articleto go on, its size, you link and a caption to appear with it almost like you would an article: '''<nowiki>[[Image:Only5aday.jpeg]]</nowiki>''' produces [[Image:Only5aday.jpeg]]
The basic link to an image places the picture in the line of text, at its full size, without a caption. The basic link looks just like an article link, only with the prefix "Image:": '''Placing the picture<nowiki>[[Image:Only5aday.jpeg]]</nowiki>''' It makes sense to make a produces [[Image:Only5aday.jpeg]] This can be OK for smalldiagrams, diagram-like illustration like but is ugly for photos and other article garnish. Most of the one above appear fullsize in an article about ittime, but do you really 'll want it right in to use the line simple, but very elegant, features below. ===On a side of text like that? I didn't think so. the page=== You can make a picture stick to the right or left side of the page using a link like the one below. To have it stick to the right, just replace ''right'' with ''left''.this:
'''<br><nowiki>[[Image:Only5aday.jpeg|right]]</nowiki>''' produces [[Image:Only5aday.jpeg|right]]
See how the top of the picture is at the line where we put the link, but the picture is on the left side of the screen, and the text of this article wraps neatly around it? This is probably the effect you'll want most often. To have it stick to the left instead, just replace ''right'' with ''left''. ===As a captioned thumbnail=== Most of the time, you won't want to put the whole picture directly into the article, but just a captioned thumbnail that links to the full version. This is quite easy:
:<nowiki>[[Image:Jimmy getting funky at Bhangra After-Party - May Perfomance Day April 2006.JPG|rightjpg|thumbnail|Look at Jimmy go! After-party 2K6The lovely ladies of [[Dance Dhamaka]].]]</nowiki>produces [[Image:Perfomance Day April 2006.jpg|thumbnail|The lovely ladies of [[Dance Dhamaka]].]]
If you want to include a photo in the "info box" on a [[:Category:Groups|group]] page, just add something like this to the info box:
