Adding an image edit
Did you got to Wikipedia:Upload and see how to upload the file (preferably to commons unless it is a fair-use justification)? Are you trying to add a .pdf file? I don't have experience with linking to a pdf and will have to do some research. RJFJR (talk) 14:48, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
yeah thats what i have been trying to do- i have 2 pdfs and the rest are just diagrams which are part of word files. When i uploaded my pdf it was created on a separate page. As for the diagrams in word how do i transfer them into my pages- do i have to change them into separate files?Ggd101 (talk) 14:51, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
And received this reply.
- There is a long standing issue with connections dropping when people try to download large PDFs from Wikimedia sites to certain browsers, particularly IE. Firefox usually works. I don't know why this is. Dragons flight (talk) 16:02, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Is it possible to upload your filesd as other than .PDF?
The .doc format is not a supported format so you need to convert them to a format that we can handle. RJFJR (talk) 16:45, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Images take a number of options including left, right, thumb. Here is your image with thumb and right and with no options. (Thumbs may be clicked on to see full size.) There is also a size option that I don't normally use. Is this what you are looking for? RJFJR (talk) 13:27, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Changing the name of a page edit
It is really easy to change the name of the page. For full instructions, you can find them here: Wikipedia:MOVE or you can just click the "move" tab at the top of any article.

Notification of automated file description generation edit
Your upload of File:ATHEANA Outline.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.
This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

- Another one of your uploads, File:ControlModes.jpg, has also had some information automatically added. If you get a moment, please review the bot's contributions there as well. Thanks! Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 15:08, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
