A good caption explains why a picture belongs in an article. "The 1965 Ford Mustang introduced the whiz-bang super-speeder" tells us why it is worth the trouble to show a photo of a 1965 Ford Mustang rather than just any year of that model car. "It was the only one I could find with a suitable license" probably is not a worthy caption reason. Links to relevant sections within the article may help draw the reader in (see [[Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page#The_wiki_markup|here]] for how to do this) | A good caption explains why a picture belongs in an article.
