Embu County
Please stop linking the words Embu County in the article Embu County - This links back to the same page and causes all sorts of problems.

Please also stop adding External links - particularly embu.go.ke in the main article

Please also read Referencing for beginners which will explain how you should reference the points you are making

Please note that embu.go.ke is not independent, but run by those promoting the county, so may not be a reliable source for information.

If you have any questions, please contact me on my talk page - thanks - Arjayay (talk) 12:41, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 07:10, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Images
Please stop re-adding the duplicate over-large picture of giraffes, as this contravenes the Wikipedia's image policies

Please see Image use policy, particularly the section WP:Imagesize, and also see Manual of Style/Images

As a general rule all images should be left as thumbnails - this allows the users preferences to determine the size, so, if they are reading on a phone or tablet, they can set their thumbnails to be small, but if they are using a wide screen monitor or TV they can set them to be bigger. Your big picture is likely to cause problems on a small screen such as a phone, the article may not load at all.

If a set size is used Manual of Style/Images states
 * "As a general rule, images should not be set to a larger fixed size than the 220px default"

The only general exception to this is images like maps, where specific detail needs to be readable, but even then
 * "Images should be large enough to reveal relevant details without overwhelming the surrounding article text"

Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 08:44, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
