Hello Moxisd132 and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your contributions, such as the ones to Sam Kerr, do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox (but beware that the contents of the sandbox are deleted frequently) rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a Help desk, or you can click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Proper way to insert images in infoboxes

[edit]

Hello @Moxisd132. I am @Archer1234. I noticed your recent edit to Amy Rodriguez where you added an image to the infobox. I want to let you know that the way you added the image was not done according to Wikipedia's Manual of Style (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE).

When adding an image to an infobox, thumbnails should NOT be used. Simply supplying the file name will work. For example, to use File:Image PlaceHolder.png, you can simply use |image=Image PlaceHolder.png. Captions should be specified with the |caption= parameter. Every infobox is different and the documentation for the infobox in question should be consulted for the proper parameters to match the image and caption.
To fix

Do not use the full image syntax:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead, just supply the name of the image. So, in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg

and optionally:

|caption=Some image caption.

Hopefully you will find this information useful for your future editing. If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask. — Archer1234 (talk) 05:22, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again @Moxisd132. I noticed that even after notification about the proper way to insert an image into an infobox that you made the same mistake here. Is there any confusion with how to do this properly? If so, feel free to ask me or you can ask at the WP:Teahouse. Thank you. — Archer1234 (talk) 14:33, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
