===Scale references===

An image sometimes includes a familiar object to communicate scale. Such ''[[Wikipedia:Fiducial marker|fiducial markers]]'' should be as culturally universal and standardized as possible: [[Wikipedia:Ruler|rulers]], [[Wikipedia:Match|matches]], [[Wikipedia:Battery (electricity)|batteries]], [[Wikipedia:Playing card|playing cards]], [[Wikipedia:Pen|pens]]/[[Wikipedia:Pencil|pencils]], [[Wikipedia:CD|CDs]]/[[Wikipedia:DVD|DVDs]], [[Wikipedia:Soda can|soda cans]], [[Wikipedia:Football (ball)|footballs]] (soccer balls), people, vehicles, and famous structures such as the [[Wikipedia:Eiffel Tower|Eiffel Tower]] are good choices, but many others are possible. Such objects as coins, banknotes, and sheets of paper are less satisfactory because they are specific to given locales, but may be better than none at all since at least the general scale is still communicated.

Quantitative data, if available, should still be given in the caption or the article.

=== Image Aesthetics ===

When selecting or uploading images for UniWiki articles, it is essential to pay attention to the aesthetic cohesion of the content with the UniWiki's dark black background. White or overly bright images may appear stark and disrupt the visual harmony of the page. To address this, contributors are encouraged to use dark-themed images whenever suitable. This practice not only enhances the overall look and feel of the articles but also ensures that images seamlessly blend into the UniWiki's design, providing a more pleasing and cohesive user experience. Additionally, contributors may adjust image opacity or use appropriate image editing techniques to further align images with the UniWiki's visual theme.
