Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Wayne A.I. Frederick. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Please do not use thumbnails inside of infoboxesas you did to Wayne A.I. Frederick. Note that this is your second warning regarding this issue. Continuing to add thumbnails will be seen as disruptive editing. For more information please see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE. When adding an image, instead of doing:

SomeImage.jpg

You can simply supply the name of the image. So in this case just do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks! I JUST left you a message about this.  Zack mann  (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:54, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Zackmann,

Sorry about the photo issues on the page. Every time I follow the directions above, the photo takes up the whole page in the preview. Would adding frameless into the copy resize it to fit in the box?

Thanks. PrettyPenny18 (talk) 19:04, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello, PrettyPenny18. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. ElKevbo (talk) 01:38, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I have no conflict of interest, nor am I employed by Howard University. I made those changes because the information in the section as-is only provides negative instances. If Wikipedia is about providing equal and balanced information, then accomplishments should be highlighted as well. Why should those be removed? PrettyPenny18 (talk) 18:18, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello, PrettyPenny18
Just dropping by to say hi to a fellow Wikipedia editor. I noticed that we both edited List of presidents of Howard University which is in good shape now with all issues resolved. Hope you're enjoying contributing to the encyclopedia. Enby (talk) 21:18, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
