+# wid_tool.py - Wikipedia Image Downloader
+
+wid_tool.py is tool for downloading images in Wikipedia articles.
+Upto date usage instructions can always be found by running
+
+    $ python3 wid_tool.py -h
+
+## Requirements
+
+The requirements are the following:
+* A quite new version of Python 3
+* lxml
+* cssselect
+
+## Quick start
+
+Let's download all images from a particular article:
+
+    $ python3 wid_tool.py https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives
+
+We should be able to find all the images downloaded in the current
+folder. There is also a url ending filter available. Let's download only
+the SVG files from the article above:
+
+    $ python3 wid_tool.py -f svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives
+
+Now only files with their corresponding urls ending with _svg_ should be
+downloading.
