Elaeagnus berries
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
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
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)

Your submission at Articles for creation: IM-250 has been accepted
 IM-250, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the  [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk/New_question&withJS=MediaWiki:AFCHD-wizard.js&page=IM-250 help desk] . Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider.

Thanks again, and happy editing! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:26, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
