Note that :'''For the picture is fullsize and placed directly impatient:''' just put something like this in the line of text, where you linked to it.article:

It makes sense to make a small, diagram-like illustration like the one above appear fullsize in an article about it, but do you really want it jpg|thumbnail|right in the line of text like that? I didn't think so. You can make a picture stick to the right side of the page using a link like the one below. To have it stick to the right, just replace ''|Caption goes right'' with ''left''here.]]</nowiki>
'''<br><nowiki>[[Image:Only5adayIf that looks confusing, read on.jpeg|right]]</nowiki>''' produces [[Image:Only5aday.jpeg|right]]

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:Newimages|Image 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.
# Select the image from your computer, and give it a '''unique''' Destination name. It's a good idea to include the approximate date, e.g., "Jimmy getting funky at Bhangra After-Party - May 2006.JPG")
# Add any additional notes in "summary."
# Click "Upload file."
==2. Add the Adding a 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:<nowiki>[[Image":Jimmy getting funky at Bhangra After-Party - May 2006.JPG|right|thumbnail|Look at Jimmy go! After-party 2K6.]]</nowiki>
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:
