Hi Garry, I removed your image from Barn Swallow temporally. Since it's a featured article, the image should be in the text, not as an external link. However, when I moved it to the beginning of the next section and formatted it as, it showed as   Not sure quite what's happening here jimfbleak (talk) 06:08, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 23:49, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Proper way to insert images in infoboxes
Hello @Garrylindsay. I am @Archer1234. I noticed to Tom Bradbury 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 (talk) 21:21, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
