I think it's fine to include images on wiki pages, as long as they add
something to the documentation and aren't just there for the sake of it.
Some other points to consider:

 * Try not to use very big images
 * Attempt to lay-out the images
 * Use the default Ubuntu Human theme for screenshots

I recently created a few wiki pages with images in them, which are
hopefully reasonable examples [1] [2].

To upload an image:

 1. Open the wiki page in your browser
 2. Press the 'More Actions' drop-down at the top of the page and select
'Attachments'
 3. Under 'File to upload', press 'Browse' and select the photo you want
to upload
 4. Give it a name under 'Save as' and then press 'Upload'
 5. To display the file on the wiki page, type 'attachment:filename.png'
where you want the image to appear.

Thanks,

Phil
