I had my article Pee Reviewed and I subsequently overhauled it, but he said I needed more images. Where do I go to see all the images and how do I get some of them into my article? I'm a bit of a technophobe but I'd like my article to be as good as I can make it.--Schizo Master 00:30, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

There's not really an easy way to view all the images on the site, because there is so many. Most people just upload their own pictures using the "upload this file" link in the toolbox (on your left). To add an image you could look at the links that someone has provided for you on your talk page. —Braydie 00:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, there are a lot of images on the database, so it's not really feasible to see them all; but you can go to Special:Search, and uncheck the boxes except the "Image" one to search them. Alternatively, if you need a particular picture made up for your article, you can request it at Uncyclopedia:RadicalX's_Corner. To add an image into your article, see here. Aaagh, Braydie edit conflict! ;) -- Sir Codeine K·H·P·B·M·N·C·U·Bu. · (Harangue) 00:43, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks to both of you. You helped a lot. One more question. How do you control where the picture shows up on the article? I'm trying to fix my article and there's huge whitespaces in two sections because of the images. I don't recall this from the HowTo page. Thanks again.--Schizo Master 23:18, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[[Image:Cows.jpg|thumb|rightNot peaches]] to the right

[[Image:Cows.jpg|thumb|left|Not peaches]] moves it to the left

[[Image:Cows.jpg|thumb|center|Not peaches]] centres it

[[Image:Cows.jpg|thumb|250px|Not peaches]] changes the size of the pic (in this case 250px wide. The ratio doesn't change, so you don't have to enter the pic's height)

[[Image:Cows.jpg|Not peaches]] no border, no caption (add the "px" section to change its size). Clear as mud? --Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 23:57, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Clear as.... Now that I know what will work without the peaches, I'll try it with them now. But really. Thanks.--Schizo Master 00:11, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

When you find an effect that you like on a page by someone else, just hit "edit" to see how they did it. That's how I learned; by liberally from people who probably learned by stealing from...--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 00:21, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
