thanks, but I get the thumbnail image as opposed to the bigger image on the Steve Jobs wikipedia page. Please let me know if there is a way to get the bigger image.

Hi,

What is the best way to get the main image of a wiki page? For example, I would like to retrieve

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Steve_Jobs_Headshot_2010-CROP.jpg/220px-Steve_Jobs_Headshot_2010-CROP.jpg for the Steve Jobs wiki page.

thanks
