Salve, C. Equiti Cato!

And welcome to the editorial staff of our website. Please remember always to observe our category system, adding each new article you create to the relevant category. Please also observe to add a languagebar to each new page and to keep the orthographic design in line with the accepted practices (no full capitalization for emphasis, but bold letters e.g.). When adding new pictures, we use thumbnails. See an example to this in the article of Iuno.

If you have any kind of question, don't hesitate to ask help from me, I'm the content manager as Magister Aranearius. For technical management we have no officer currently, but Agricola is an unofficial adviser for that matter. Saturninus is the ultimate boss, as Curator Rei Informaticae.

Near all of these, please pay attention to the photos copyright.Titus Iulius Sabinus 13:31, 26 August 2009 (CEST)

Hooray! thanks, gentlemen. I'm trying to use only photos or images in the public domain. How do I turn an image into a thumbnail? For the proper names of the Gods I've been doing it in caps in bold at the head of the article; is this OK?

use Vroma,http://www.vroma.org/images/image_search.html this is a permitted source for photos, give them credit. Ideally use a photo of a cult statue and use statutes, paintings from the Roman era. Not Renaissance etc. Keep to the style; that is photos on the right with frame.To do this use the code for image and then |right|frame surrounded by double bracketsMarca Hortensia Maior

Some answers

This is a picture that is modified in its size.To see the command you have to use, click the "edit" of this page:

You can modify the size of the picture to get an aesthetically appropriate ratio to the design of the article.

You can use thumbnails that allows you to use subtitles to the picture, while still can modify the size and even the position left-right.

Iuno, Queen of the gods.

Giant pictures aren't looking good in an article, so we usually have to reduce their size.

About the spelling of the names of the gods: while I admit that many people wish to express respest towards the gods by capitalizing the word "god" or "goddess", I think it is not a tradition of polytheistic thinking. Names of the gods of course must be written with capitalized initial, but the rest of the word must be in lower case, even if as first word at the beginning of an article. So always 'Neptunus, in bold, and not NEPTUNUS. This is what is observed in all articles.

ooooh I moved the picture and made it smaller cool  :) OK, thank you very much.
