-== Is it possible to include a cropped image? ==
-Just wondering — is there a way to include a thumbnail that only includes a part of some image (and, so that, if someone clicks on the image, it takes them to the full image as it does now)? (This is how thumbnails often work out there in the real world.) It seems that the only way currently is to edit the image, upload a cropped version, include it on a page, and add link to the uncropped image in the caption.

-===Diptychs and triptychs===
-(I came here with the same issue.)<br />
-There may be an image of a painting, where only one "slice" of the triptych may be relevant to the article in question.<br />
-Are there any options short of what Shreevatsa describes above?<br />
-Can display of part of an image be suppressed?
-The article discusses image maps.<br />
-If areas of an image can be identified and delineated, might the article text be allowed to overlay portions of that image, but not others?<br />
-Basically, we gotta make our own cropped image, right?<br />

-== We have a major problem here ==
-Most of the text has been replaced by what seems to be a Latin translation, though I don't read Latin and it could be a porn novel.
-I tried to backtrack and restore an older English version, and failed.

-: Are you joking? :-) The text is [[Lorem ipsum]], used to illustrate image placement. [[User:Shreevatsa|Shreevatsa]] ([[User talk:Shreevatsa|talk]]) 04:26, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
-Just confused. Thank you for your patience.

-I must agree - this description is basically nonsense (edit) for anyone who just wants to an image to an enrty. Plain English would suffice - not nerdy jargon which explains nothing.
-Whoever said the above including the swearing which I removed clearly has no clue about layout issues, or plain English for that matter. Also they couldn't be bothered to sign their edit. Eve Morris HTFotography 07:26, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
-: I too was confused at first, thinking some wise guy had replaced half the page with latin, until i remembered reading about lorem ipsum (yesterday, coincidentally) and realizing it was just filler.

-== Simple instructions for inserting an image into an article? ==
-Does the page say anywhere just how to go about actually inserting an image into an article--i.e., what steps to take?

-:Maybe not in so many words.
-:You need brackets [[, a prefix like '''File:''' and an image name.
-:Edit your favourite page and look at the syntax, or insert the following,
-:and click Show Preview.
-:<nowiki>[[File:Canary Murder Case.jpg]]</nowiki>
-:
-:That syntax gives you an image.
-{{-}}
-:In many cases, you want [[Louise Brooks|Louise]] to be smaller, so you add a '''px''' size.

-::Oops, Louise is deceased, but her image is '''non-free''' and cannot appear over here.
-::That is a fact of life with images in Wikipedia.
-::Edit this section, uncomment the .jpg references, and you shall see the imagery. Magic!
-::[[User:Varlaam|Varlaam]] ([[User talk:Varlaam|talk]]) 06:34, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
-:::That actually does raise an important point for the beginners.
-:::Just because an image '''already appears''' somewhere in Wikipedia does '''not''' mean that you are automatically free to use it on a '''different''' Wikipedia page. It all depends.
-:::Someone should provide a link '''here''' to the page which discusses copyright as it concerns images.

-== Animated GIFs ==
-In articles such as [[Blackout (wartime)]], an animated GIF is included.  However, the use of thumbnails disables the animation.  There should be a section in this article that details how to include animated GIFs that can be sized appropriately while remaining animated.

-== I've once seen a tool... ==
-...that allowed to display a series of images in a ''thumb'' like margin, with a foreward and backward button below, that allowed to skim through the series. So, in my opinion, it combined the advantages of animations and static images. But I've never seen it again. Does anyone know how to do this?

-== Thumbnail is not updated when new image is uploaded ==
-I have the thumbnail of an image in an article. No problem. I wanted to update the image, so I went to the file and uploaded a new version. No problem. Now the article still shows the old thumbnail. When you click on it you go to the new file. I've tried resaving the article with a minor edit. I've even tried inserting the thumbnail into a new test article (under my username). The old thumbnail shows. It seems as though there is a cache for thumbnails that is not being updated. How do I force the update of this cache? --[[User:AlexanderPico|AlexanderPico]] ([[User talk:AlexanderPico|talk]]) 02:14, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
-: Here is the specific example: [[File:NicotineDopaminergic WP1602.png|thumb|right|Effect of nicotine on dopaminergic neurons]] Click on it and you will notice that the oval on the right is different in the source file.  <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:AlexanderPico|AlexanderPico]] ([[User talk:AlexanderPico|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/AlexanderPico|contribs]]) 02:15, 17 April 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-: Update. I see the new thumbnail when I'm not logged in! After logging in, however, I see the old thumbnail. Is image cache tied to accounts?  I've cleared by browser cache completely. I can switch back and forth between thumbnails by simply logging in and logging out. This is odd. So, does this mean that users who saw the old thumbnail will continue to (when they're logged in), but new and logged-out users will see the new thumbnail? --[[User:AlexanderPico|AlexanderPico]] ([[User talk:AlexanderPico|talk]]) 19:24, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
-: Update. This is unique to thumbnails at 180px. This can be set in your preferences. That resolution of thumbnails appears to not be consistently updated.  See the relevant [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28613 bug report]. --[[User:AlexanderPico|AlexanderPico]] ([[User talk:AlexanderPico|talk]]) 18:47, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
-== Using Japanese file image ==
-I want to use an image from a Japanese page, where the image prefix is "ファイル" instead of "File". I've never gotten one of these to display using "File:".
-Example: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:Taitoumisaki.jpg
-Tried to insert: [[File:Taitoumisaki.jpg|thumb|[[Kujūkuri Beach]] viewed from Cape Taitō]]
-Into article: Cape Taitō
-And it doesn't work. Where do I go from here?
-Thanks all! --Paul  <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Prburley|Prburley]] ([[User talk:Prburley|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Prburley|contribs]]) 18:28, 31 October 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-:The image needs to be moved to Commons before you can use it. I moved this particular image and added it to the article. For instructions on how to do it in the future, check [[Wikipedia:Moving files to the Commons]] or <span lang="ja">[[ja:Help:ウィキメディア・コモンズへファイルを移動する方法]]</span>. Copy it with Commonshelper or any other tool of your choice, then mark it with <span lang="ja"><nowiki>{{即時削除|ファイル1-5|Put filename here}}</nowiki></span> at the image description page on Japanese Wikipedia and put <span lang="ja"><nowiki>{{subst:コモンズへの移動通知|Put Japanese Wikipedia filename here|Put Commons filename here}}--~~~~</nowiki></span> on the uploader's talk page. Other Wikimedia projects typically use a {{tl|NowCommons}} template to indicate Commons moves, but images marked with {{tl|NowCommons}} don't seem to be checked by Japanese Wikipedia users. Once moved, you can use the image under the usual "File" image prefix. Japanese Wikipedia can use either "File" or "<span lang="ja">ファイル</span>". --[[User:Stefan2|Stefan2]] ([[User talk:Stefan2|talk]]) 13:46, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
-== Infobox pictures ==
-Since the ''first'' image will typically be placed in the infobox, I propose that these should be covered in a new first section, even before the "thumbnails" section. Helpers send new editors to this page for instructions, and results [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kamineni_Institute_of_Medical_Sciences&oldid=467347506 like this] are all too common. -- [[User:John of Reading|John of Reading]] ([[User talk:John of Reading|talk]]) 13:17, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
