Frog
Hello Elinor, thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I see you have been adding images to articles and I have removed the one you added to Common toad because a Chinese ceramic is not likely to depict a European species of toad. You have added the same image to the article Frog, where it is more relevant. However the lengthy caption needs a reference if the image is to remain there, because this is a "Featured article", as you can see from the star in the top right corner of the page, and all facts need to be cited. I would suggest being cautious before adding images to featured articles and good articles (green cross in top right hand corner).

If you would like any help in getting started with Wikipedia, do ask and I will be pleased to help. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:57, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Pictures
Hello Elinor and much welcome to the English Wikipedia. I see that you are uploading and putting a lot of pictures in articles. Just some friendly advice though: The pics you have from the museums are very good and we are delighted to have them here at the Wikimedia, however there should always be a balance between the amount of text and the number of pictures in an article. The WP is most of all about text and information and the pictures and larger galleries are kept at the Commons. Normally most of the pictures are accessed though the link to the Category at the Commons and only a few good pics are in the article. It is a common mistake for newbies to place too many pics in the article itself since they think it looks good, but this can also hinder the access to the article for readers with not so great broadbands or old computers/mobiles. Remember that this is an international site. For readability it is also recommended not to "sandwich" text on a page between pics. That is to put pics at both the right and the left side of a text.

I suggest you take a look at some of the guidelines in Manual of Style/Images before you add any more. You can always upload as many pics as you want at the Commons, just think about where you put them in articles. A very good example of how many pics should be in an artcle is the one about Vasa (ship). It is also a featured article, look for the little gold star at the top of the article, that means the article has been through a lot of consensus here about how it should look, please be careful when you add things to such articles. If you want to ask anything, don't hesitate to do so here or on my talk page. I'm a Swedish editor working with many history-related articles. Best, w.carter -Talk  10:44, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Also, try to keep the amount of text in the caption to a minimum. Captions like the one for the Qing frogs in Frogs in culture is way too long. If you have access to that info, you should write it in the text instead and provide a source for it. The captions should have support in the text, not the other way around. You should also check where the links you provide actually end up. I see that a Bot has repaired some of the links you made to disambiguation pages. That was doable this time but most of the time some other editor will have to correct that for you. A lot to learn for you, but that's the way it always is when you're new to a place. :) w.carter -Talk  11:12, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
