Tip of the day... Inserting a picture in an article The syntax used for displaying an image is: [[Image:{name}|{type}|{location}|{size}|{caption}]] Only [[Image:{name}]] is required. The other details are optional and can be placed in any order. They 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 and height to 40). Normally only one variable is used. Use common sense when determining the sizes; you can use the "Show preview" button if you need to. 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 wouldn't have noticed otherwise, or add information the pertains to the image. If you have a picture that isn't already in Wikipedia's image collection that you want to include in an article, you will need to upload it first.

[edit] Current Work

I'm trying to figure out how copper is mined and refined. See my work in progress: User:Josh Parris/copper

• I can provide an image for Albert Park, Victoria (suburb); I just need to photoshop the image
• I can provide an image for cot (furniture); I just need to find one - A four month old child watching a Mobile (sculpture) while lying in a cot (furniture) or crib (furniture) in a furniture store. The crib's dropside is fully lowered.
• I can provide an image for Sidney Myer Music Bowl; I've just gotta get down there
• Brickwork needs an image of an articulation joint using expansion foam.
• Leaded glass needs an image of a bevelled glass leaded window.

And I follow the contributions of User:Adam Johnston closely - he's very knowledgable on mining. His writings are a bit on the technical side, 'tho. I'm waiting for comment from Adam on the following articles:

• Gold cyanidation
• gold extraction
• Carbon in Pulp
• Copper extraction

I'm still working on:

• Electrowinning
• Pregnant leach solution
• Mineral processing
• Hydrometallurgy
• Extractive metallurgy

[edit] To do

• Construction and Environment sections in Diaper
• Full disclosure disambiguation
• Figure out what to do with http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Internet_service as per the talk page on Internet Service Provider.
• Keep at User:Josh Parris/Bootstrap
• Remove many external links in Censorware, as per Dynamic DNS. But the Google Directory listing for that subject bites arse.
• Clean up what links to List of environment topics after User:Wavelength linked every article in Wikipedia to List of environment topics.
• change from adicle: Ultimate Logging System Professional
• cleanup Mount Buller
• Sort out the relationships between Letter box Post Box Mailbox letter slot - mention capture basket. mail -- in Britain, one posts a letter via Royal Mail -- in the US, one mails a letter via US Postal Service
• User:Josh Parris/monobook.js configuration as per Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups

Check ISBNs And I've got to get back to the ISBNs in Category:ISBN needed using the book reference template (Wikipedia:Template messages/Sources of articles/Generic citations). Remember to search for "ISBN:" using User:Topbanana/Reports/This article may contain a badly formed ISBN reference if its ever re-run.

Oh, and check out Wikipedia:Offline reports/This is one of the most linked to disambiguation pages. Disambiguate when bored (use Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages):
