Inserting images from Commons

[Richard L. Hardesty]

Help!  I've looked high and low, and cannot seem to find anything that tells me how to include an image from commons into a Wikispecies article.  I keep getting told it is possible, but cannot find a thing to tell me HOW.  Please enlighten me.

Thank you all.

You do the same as you would for including a normal image. Just type
[[Image:Image name.jpg|thumb|Caption]]
on the article. As long as there isn't a local image of the same name,
this should work.

Thank you!  It works like a charm.  It would appear that the key to
making it work was the addition of the thumbnail spec in the syntax.
