Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to West Highland White Terrier, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. ''Please stop adding that picture of your dog. It's simply not a good picture. It's not properly focused, it's foreshortened, and it does not display the whole dog. You were undone the first time you added it, and uploading a second copy under a different title and adding it again as a minor edit does not change anything.''

 * Please read WP:MINOR and WP:BRD Meters (talk) 21:54, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
 * There is no need to be rude. I had no idea why the first edit was reverted and thought something might have gone wrong with my change so I simply did it again. There was no communication the first time so I could not have known there was an issue with my submission. For a community that relies on volunteers you should do a better job of communicating with empathy and educating editors as opposed to shunning them. grunglopes (talk) 22:04, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not being rude, you are not being shunned. This was a polite, low-level canned warning. And there was communication the first time. The edit history clearly shows why your edit was undone: user:Adavidb's summary was "restored image one used when article acquited [aquired] 'good' rating". Your edit should not have been restored without discussion, and it certainly was not a minor edit. And that's why I educated you by pointing you to the applicable links.

 * And explained why your image is not an improvement over what we already have. Meters (talk) 22:22, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
