Proper way to insert images in infoboxes
Hello @Dimwig. I am @Archer1234. I noticed to Salah Bachir 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 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.

Do not use the full image syntax:
 * To fix:
 * SomeImage.jpg

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

and optionally:
 * 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. &mdash; Archer1234  (t·c) 13:53, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
