Image size
I've seen some of your recent edits tweaking pixel-specified image sizes. The impact of that, of course, depends on the sizes in pixels of the displays being used by individual readers. Please take a look at WP:IMGSIZE. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 19:01, 23 October 2020 (UTC)and Wtmitchell  (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 19:01, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Coats of arms
Is it appropriate to put a "coat of arms" for American Presidents who never used such things? For example, for the one you put in Zachary Taylor, if you follow the source -- and your sources MUST be more precise than simply americanheraldry.org -- it says "President Zachary Taylor never claimed a coat of arms." --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106; &#x1D110;&#x1d107; 18:47, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I came here about the same thing... Per MOS:INFOBOX,
 * An infobox is a panel, usually in the top right of an article, next to the lead section (in the desktop version of Wikipedia), or at the end of the lead section of an article (in the mobile version), that summarizes key features of the page's subject.
 * So, infoboxes are supposed to summarize key features of the article's subject. I did a spot-check of the US Presidents' articles that these coat of arms has been added to and not a single one had any mention of a "family coat of arms" in the text plus these additions have no source at the article. The "Ronald Reagan Coat of Arms", for instance, is a created coat of arms that was created by someone else with no known association with Mr. Reagan, and, to my knowledge, was never used by Mr. Reagan.

 * Thank you for your zeal about editing Wikipedia but I wanted you to know that I have reverted almost all of your "coat of arms" additions to infoboxes with an edit summary similar to the following:
 * "no evidence [article subject] ever used this coat of arms, edit mischaracterized as a Minor edit, coat of arms not mentioned in article text, etc."
 * Going forward, please familiarize yourself with what the purposes of Wikipedia Infoboxes are and what should and should not be included in them. I left the Theodore Roosevelt coat of arms as you added it since it is mentioned in the article text and there is evidence that Theodore Roosevelt used it,Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 21:55, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Islasfilipinas234! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. ''Almost all of your "Coat of arms" edits were mischaracterized as minor edits. Please read Help:Minor edit to understand when the m should be used.'' Shearonink (talk) 21:48, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].

 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page.
