[edit] Pictures

That's great that you want to share the pictures. There's two ways you can go about this. The first, but least preferred, is to click on the "upload file" text in the toolbox to your left. However, by uploading them here, they are limited in use to the English language wikipedia. The preferred way is to upload them to Commons, where they will be available to other language wikipedias. Use the link I just included to jump over there, register just like you did here (it's advisable to use the same username), and then click on "upload file". The instructions are pretty self-explanatory, the only thing I'd add is to make absolute sure you select a license from the pull down box...unlicensed pics will be removed. If you have any questions, drop a note on my talk page over there (same screen name).

After you've uploaded the files, in either place, then the way you put them into an article is to use the text string [[Image:filename.jpg|thumb|right|captiontext]]

Although this gets done occasionally, it's strongly advised by the Manual of Style not to put thumbnail sizing into the string, as this disables the user preferences feature that lets the users decide how big the thumbnails show up on their screen.

Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions! Akradecki 13:50, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I wanna give you a prize

Hi, I'm Javitomad, a Spanish user of English wikipedia.

I've seen you've created some articles about Spain.

Because of that, I want to give you a Barnstar, the Spanish Barnstar.

I, Javitomad, give you this Barnstar for contributing for a better Spanish-English Wikipedia.
