I've adding some graphics to the robotics book. These are done with Inventor and (most of them) touched up with paintshop pro.  

placing graphics on wikipages:
Since the help page of wikibooks isn't much help yet, here's how I placed those pictures:

 



The center tags place the picture in the center of the page and prevent from text being placed next to them as this looks wrong.

"robotics logo.png" is the name of the drawing uploaded to wikibooks.

"none" is the orientation. Could be left or right.

"thumb" I have no idea. I assume this means thumbnail?

"288px" how width the drawing has to be. height is automaticaly calculated to keep the aspected ratio correct.

The rest of the line is the text below the drawing, but still in the picturebox.

Another way is the gallery tag:

Watchlist acting unfair.
Watchlists seem to act a little unfair lately. Someone wrote a nice part on IDC connectors which showed up in my watchlist. However when I made a small change to it (changed 2 symbols ('?') that weren't drawn properly in '°' symbols, only my minor edit was left in the watchlist. I wonder if this is normal.


 * Noticed this too, I think it's a Wiki mechanism to avoid flooding the watchlist with hundreds of minor edits (if wiki documents each minor edits). I know for one I sometimes had to go back to re-edit my work when I spotted a typo/ format issue, and the watchlist just takes the latest edit as a summary of all the edits in the time span.

spell checking.
I admit I'm not always spell check what I contribute. The main cause is that I write a lot on other peoples computers (this I'm writing on my gf's) and those don't have a spell checker installed in mozilla.  --Patrik 17:43, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
