How to Add and Format Images
1. Go to the page where you want to add the picture

2. Log in to your account (it won't work without this step)

3. The "upload file" command will now show up in the Toolbox at the bottom of the left-hand column. Use the "upload file" command to add photos, graphics, pdf files, word documents, and other ancillary files. Follow the directions carefully on the "upload file" form. Remember that you must have rights to upload the image. Either create the image yourself or use an image that does not have a copyright owner who prohibits its use.

3. You can add this photo to your article by putting double brackets around the name as below:



4. You can align it to the left or right by the code below:



5. If it's a large image, you can add a thumbnail using the code example below:



6. The general format of an image specification is as follows:



7. CAPTIONS may only be used in images of Type="thumb" or Type="frame." (see Catalina, Lake of the Ozarks example above)

How to Format References
Don't worry .. there isn't one perfect way to do references and citations in Wikibooks. There are good pages to help you format references and citations. This one helps with references, linking the text with the reference list: Help:Editing

A link link all the way at the bottom of the page may provide categories for common reference types like books, papers, etc.. If not, search for "Category:Citation_templates" or click here: []

A Class Project (2007)
Hi everybody, I really enjoyed working on wiki project as i mentioned on my previous post.

Today i have found a chance to look the other chapters. I realized that everybody has put great effort in here.I also say that making presentation was such a helpful idea in order to find my mistakes and evaluate others'. Additionally, i have some ideas about the organization of the wiki pages. However, I really enjoyed to look at the some graphics. They are really nice. I am pretty sure, implementing pictures on wiki is not a easy job.
 * I think that the best way is start a new page when you click on a subsection. This looks more organized and nice.Other way, wiki page looks a flowing of text and as if it has heavy text content.
 * I also would recommend that some subsection titles are too long.

Conventions
Since all of the pages in a Wikibook are organized in a similar manner, your first task is to learn how your pages will be built. To see how any page is constructed, just click the edit this page tab to view the underlying wikitext. Feel free to experiment by making changes and clicking on Show preview. Those change will be temporary and you won't have to undo them. To actually enter text and formatting, just click Save page. Remember to LOG IN as yourself every time you work on our wikibook.

As we add to our pages throughout the semester, each chapter will have an indicator that shows its stage of completion as shown below.

Headings
Headings automatically generate a page-level Table of Contents using the following markup tags:


 * == This is a level 1 heading ==
 * === This is a level 2 heading ===
 * ==== This is a level 3 heading ====

This generates the following Wikibook output:

Links within our Wikibook
Enclose the link within double square brackets like this:


 * /Plan/ would take us to the page named "Plan".

A more complete way to express the link would be to include the entire hierarchy beginning with the book title like this:


 * Directing Technology/Plan

Links outside Wikibooks
Enclose link within single square brackets like this:


 * 

The link will be displayed like this:
