GnuCash is a multilingual application that is translated into a bunch
of languages. None of that can happen with your screen shots. You
simply *must* remove the text embedded in images, so that users in
other languages can translate the wiki into their language of choice.
Not to mention users with low visual acuity, who use readers of text
to listen to what is written.
You're leaving all these users out of your approach.

Well, I'm not so sure about this one. I think it depends upon an
individual's learning style**. Some people love to devour text,
others
delight in visuals.
My personal preference, as I said in a previous reply, is to try and
show the entire workflow from left to right. Granted the pink
text is a
bit loud, and could be toned down as "captions".
Coincidentally, they are the only text you can actually read unaided
when viewing on a phone.
I'll keep this in mind for the next one.
Thanks once again.
Regards
Geoff

Further comment on your screenshots: it is infinitely better
to put
instructional text as actual text in the wiki page, rather than
embedding in the screenshot itself. I'd ask you to edit those
screenshots to remove the text. The circling is IMHO okay; the
text, not.
So,
Click New Account
[Image of main window with New button circled)]
Put "Amazon.com <http://Amazon.com> <http://Amazon.com
<http://Amazon.com>>, Inc." (or whatever description you
wish) into the "Account name" field
Choose "Stock" as Account type
[Image of New account window with circles)]
Click on the "Select" button for the "Security/Currency" field
Choose "NASDAQ" as type and "(AMZN) Amazon" as security
Set Parent Account to an account in the Assets branch of your
chart
Click "Ok"

Geoff,
As it's a wiki, you just go for it.
I was going to do just that, because your image width causes the
browser page to shrink everything else on screen, making it
incredibly hard for old eyes to read the (now miniscule) text.
But, you've aggregated all the steps into one wide image. If I
were going to enter this, I'd have separate screen shots of each
dialog, and I'd put them next to the steps they illustrate. That
way, there's less opportunity for confusion, and the page will
display better.
I'm also wondering why this clear information isn't in the Help
(or if it is, where it is)...

Folks
Thanks to assistance from John & David C, and inspiration from
James
Baxter, I have revised and updated the "Add Stock" page on the
"Using
GnuCash" Wiki to include some screenshots to make the process
clearer
for new and unfamiliar users.

This is my first Wiki update - is there a peer review process,
or do we
just go for it?

Thanks
