Hi RashersTierney, Thank you for your message! I`m not completely new to Wikipedia although I don´t have many edits ;-) but I´ve got two questions concerning images. I added a photo to the article Frank Sherwin Bridge, if you look at it at Wikimedia Commons you can see some notes - is it possible to make them visible on Wikipedia, too? (Without them it´s not really a good picture for that article, but it´s the best one I´ve got...) And if I add new photos to articles with infoboxes as I did it e.g. in National Leprechaun Museum and National Library of Ireland, is there a rule which image should be in the infobox and which one outside? --YvonneM (talk) 10:52, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

You can certainly explain the image at 'Caption' eg 'View downstream of X bridge (blue) from Seán Heuston Bridge, 2010." or whatever you think will make things clear to the reader. On point #2, The particular infoboxe page generally give some guidance regarding how parameters should be filled in. For example, the Infobox Museum says that the image should be the "Logo or graphic by which the museum is identified, omitting the wikilink brackets and the "file:" or "image:" namespace Example: Louvre.jpg". Hope this helps and sorry for tardy reply. Missed your post initially. Drop me a note at my TP if you have any further questions. Keep up the good work. Best.

Thanks for your help! I didn´t saw the template explanation pages before, they are really useful... and thanks for improving the description of my picture with the bridges :) --YvonneM (talk) 23:28, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

No problem. Glad I could help. That's what it's all about! RashersTierney (talk) 23:52, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
