I have a request: To anybody posting images on the Wiki, please upload them there*. Don't host them on your own space or on free image hosts. To upload them, ensure that they're in PNG or JPEG format and of a reasonable size (200kb is too big*) and click on the "Upload file" link on the left sidebar on the Wiki.

The reason being that if you host it on your space or a free host (or even a paid host), it may or may not last. The host could go down, you could switch ISPs, or anything. If you upload it to the Wiki, then as long as the Wiki is up, the image will be available.

Thanks.

*This does not apply to images you use on your userpage, e.g. a photo of you. Don't upload those.

**Furthermore, if you don't know how to properly optimize images for the web, you might not even want to bother. If you saved the image in MSPaint, it's safe to assume that it's not properly optimized.
