Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Anapithecus may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Elwyn L. Simons , without citing a reliable source. I went ahead and added a source and corrected the content you added. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 20:09, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

editHi and belated welcome! Thanks for your contributions. Some tips and advice:
- Images in {{taxobox}} and most (but not all) infoboxes should not be in thumbnail format: you can omit the "File:" prefix and brackets in the image field; this allows for better filling of space.
- As a researcher, you no doubt have access to recent literature and information. However, there are some potential pitfalls to be aware of when writing in areas within your profession, including writing in an overly-technical fashion (Wikipedia is not a journal) and the potential for introducing original thought or unpublished opinion, and conflicts of interest. See the policies on citing your own work, and the essays on Expert editors, Wikipedia editing for research scientists, and Ten Simple Rules for Editing Wikipedia.
- If you haven't already, check out the resources, guidelines, and discussions at WikiProject Palaeontology and/or WikiProject Primates.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask on my talk page or a relevant WikiProject. Cheers, --Animalparty! (talk) 23:49, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

edit Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to Anapithecus. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. 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:
|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]
Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:
|image=SomeImage.jpg.
There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=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!!
