 +====Repeated Images====
 +
 +Sometimes you will come across the same image repeated more than once in a publication. This can be more common in Children's Books.
 +
 +When you come across a repeated image:
 +  * Describe the first image fully as per the image type and guidelines
 +  * Begin the second image with a reference to the first, and then add very brief description
 +     * For example: ''Same image from chapter two.'' then a simple general description of the image. You can use your first description and just edit it down shorter.

 +----
 +
 +Q: In 500 years of Indigenous resistance, at the beginning of the section "Extermination and Assimilation" there is an image of 5 maps that spans across two pages, so the map in the middle is divided in two. In the alt-text of the second map image I've stated that it is a continuation of the previous image" as the wiki instructs. My concern is, in the document, the first part of the map image is placed before the section heading, so the two parts of the image are in two different sections. Is this an issue?
 +
 +A: Great Question! You can move the first map just below the heading so they are in the same section.
