Elaeagnus berries[edit]
I have read your post at Talk:Elaeagnus, where you ask for help with the syntax to link a file. Showing you seemed to me easier than telling you, so I have linked one of the images for you. You may like to look at the syntax I used to learn for the future. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:18, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Tile drainage and Mespilus[edit]
I have now read your other posts. The help I gave for elaeagnus should enable you to deal with images at Tile drainage and Mespilus too. On the other hand I'm afraid your other suggestion at Talk:Mespilus can't be accepted. Linking to commercial sources is regarded as unacceptable, and is likely to be regarded as spamming by other editors. I am not suggesting that you are intending it as spam, but that is the way it is likely to be seen. In fact even posting the link on the talk page is not really consistent with Wikipedia's guideline on external links, so I am going to remove your comment. It is not normally regarded as good practice to remove another editor's talk page comment, but I think this is an exception. If you want further clarification please contact me on my talk page.

Talk page posts[edit]
I have now noticed one other thing about your talk page comments. It is usual to add new sections at the bottom of the page. Since this is where they are expected there is a good chance that new posts at the top will be overlooked by editors looking for the latest contributions. This is particularly likely in long talk pages. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:36, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
