January 2017
Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Brunswick Corporation. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

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

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Promotional language
Hello, I'm SMcCandlish. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Brunswick Corporation seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

In particular, it is not permissible to use promotional language in articles on companies or products (or anything else for that matter), as you did here. These changes have been reverted. PS: If you want to include updated figures, you have to cite a newer source than the source that provided the 2015 figures; you cannot change them to 2016 figures with no new source and retaining the citation to the 2015 source; that's source falsification. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ &gt;ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ&lt;  04:05, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
