<p>Here is another way to find where coding problems might exist in an article. First, copy the wikitext from the page that you are trying to fix and save it in your sandbox page. On the sandbox page, type the coding comment tags <!-- -->at the beginning and end of the problem article like so: <!-- article -->
</p><p>When you save the page, the page will be blank, but do not panic the coding is still there. Next move the opening comment <span class="fck_mw_nowiki" _fck_mw_customtag="true" _fck_mw_tagname="nowiki">&lt;!-- tag</span> down the page to maybe the next paragraph and then save. The material above the <span class="fck_mw_nowiki" _fck_mw_customtag="true" _fck_mw_tagname="nowiki">&lt;!--</span> will appear again.

Wondering how to find out if an image is ok to use in our Wiki? Here’s a tip, when you find an image in Google images, click on Search Tools in the tool bar at the top of the page. Then click on “Usage rights” then on “Labeled for reuse.” The images that are left should be ok to use and normally do not have any restrictions on them. We should try to use only images without restrictions.
Wondering how to find images without copyright restrictions? Try these steps:
*Type in your subject in the Google search box.
*Then click on "Images."  You should see a page with many images some of which do have copyright restrictions.
*Next, click on "Tools."
*Then on "Usage rights."
*Select category from drop-down menu.
*Depending on which category you select, the images that appear should be without restrictions.
