Tip of the day...

How to insert a picture into an article

The syntax used for displaying an image is:

[[File:{name}|{type}|{location}|{size}|{alt=}|{caption}]]

Only [[File:{name}]] parameter is required.

Do not put spaces between parameters. The other parameters are optional and can be placed in any order. Some infoboxes do not require the brackets. Keep parameters in lower case. The other parameters 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 pixels and height to 40 pixels). Normally only one variable is used. Use common sense when determining the sizes; you can use the "Show preview" button if you need to. If thumb or thumbnail is chosen, size should normally be left out, so that the size defaults to the size set in a user's preferences.

alt=

(keep it lower case). This is the "alternate image" parameter used to describe the image for screenreaders or for people with low-vision. It should be more descriptive than the caption alone. Do not use this for another copy of the caption or of the article title, as the reader will already be aware of these.

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 would not have noticed otherwise, or add information the pertains to the image. Full sentence or multi fragment captions require full stop punctuation.

If you have created a picture that is not already in Wikipedia's image collection on the Commons that you want to include in an article, you will need to upload it first. Bonus tip: Similar formatting is used to insert basic audio or basic video clips into articles.

WikiProject Visual arts

Hi Marina Melik-Adamyan,

I saw your work on articles related to visual art and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch the WikiProject Visual arts talk page, which is a noticeboard for Wikipedia's fine arts coverage. It's a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to artists and fine arts. Take a look for yourself!

And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider adopting a cleanup category or participating in one of our current formal discussions.

Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Welcome to Wikipedia! Hope to see you around. czar 17:39, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

File:Tuff road, Gyumri, Armenia.jpg

On 5 December 2018, you uploaded this photo to Wikimedia Commons. Thank you for uploading this photo. On the photo's description page, you describe the material of the road as tuff but you added the photo to the tufa article in English Wikipedia. There is widespread confusion about these rock types and their English names (and it is mentioned in the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article: "Tufa, which is calcareous, should not be confused with tuff, a porous volcanic rock with a similar etymology that is sometimes also called "tufa".") You appear to have fallen into this geological terminology trap. Therefore, I removed the photo from the tufa article until, I hope, uncertainty about the rock's composition can be resolved.

I have searched the internet and I have discovered that Gyumri is in a volcanic area and, according to Sahakyan et al. (2016) "An Attempt of using Ecological Standards for assessing Urban River Water Quality (а case study of Gyumri)", National Academy of Sciences of RA Electronic Journal of Natural Sciences, 1(26), page 30, "The environs of the city are rich in building material: tuff, basalt, diatomite, clay as well as fertile chernozem soils".

This description suggests to me that your photo probably shows tuff rather than tufa. Therefore, I think that the photo should not be included in Wikipedia's tufa article. Do you agree with my opinion? GeoWriter (talk) 13:09, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
