Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Archer1234  (t·c) 22:15, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Proper way to insert images in infoboxes
Hello @Jamaicahistory. I am @Archer1234. I noticed to Percy Lindo 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  (t·c) 22:15, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Jamaicahistory! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Frederick Lindo 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. Thank you. Archer1234 (t·c) 22:31, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to Roy Lindo does not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Archer1234 (t·c) 22:33, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Roy Lindo, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Archer1234 (t·c) 22:34, 8 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that, new to this and still learning. Jamaicahistory (talk) 22:35, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @Jamaicahistory. I understand you are new and I sympathize with the how much there is to learn (it is a lot to learn). However, I think you need to stop and read all of the comments on this (your) talk page because you are continuing to make mistakes (e.g., improperly inserting photos/images into infoboxes) despite polite guidance on how to avoid doing them.
 * Another issue is that per MOS:REFPUNCT all ref tags should immediately follow the text to which the footnote applies, with no intervening space. Normally I would not worry too much about this, but since you are evidently adding many new articles and making the same mistakes in each, I want to bring this to your attention so that others do not have to clean up what you have done.
 * You should also read the documentation for Infobox person, which provides guidance on how to use each of the infobox parameters. In particular, I have noticed that you add the names of non-notable persons to the children and other parameters. This is not allowed. Read the documentation to learn how to fill out properly that and other parameters.
 * I appreciate your effort to read the guidance provided and incorporate what you read as you continue to edit. Feel free to ask me any questions or you can post a question at the WP:Teahouse where other editors will happily answer your queries. Thank you. &mdash; Archer1234  (t·c) 22:58, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Alexandre Lindo


A tag has been placed on Alexandre Lindo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.geni.com/people/Alexandre-Lindo/6000000015750389762 and lphfoundation.org/the-lindo-slave-holding-family. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Isaac Lindo moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Isaac Lindo, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
