Finding an image for an article can be difficult. Google doesn't always work, and not everyone has access to sprites. If you are lucky enough to find an image, [[Special:Upload|upload it]], see [[Help:Image]] and [[Help:Media]] for syntax, and then add it to an article. Generally, a small image would use the frame, right and caption commands, a large image would use the thumb, right and caption commands - though sometimes different alignment is necessary. The first image should go on the first line of the edit box, even before the first sentence, and then additional images can be added inbetween sections as size allows. | Finding an image for an article can be difficult.

If an article needs an image to help illustrate a point but you can't find one, add {{tem|image}} to the top of the edit box, | If an article needs an image to help illustrate a point but you can't find one, add {{tem|image}} to the top of the edit box (see the "[[#Other templates|Other templates]]" section). Do not add a placeholder broken file link until the image is actually uploaded, as this clutters up [[:Category:Articles with broken file links]]. | ||
