UniWiki:Manual of Style/Images: Difference between revisions

An image sometimes includes a familiar object  to communicate scale. Such ''[[fiducial marker]]s'' should be as culturally universal and standardized as possible: [[ruler]]s, [[match]]es, [[Battery (electricity)|batteries]], [[playing card]]s, [[pen]]s/[[pencil]]s, [[CD]]s/[[DVD]]s, [[soda can]]s, [[Football (ball)|footballs]] (soccer balls), people, vehicles, and famous structures such as the [[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.
