Welcome!
editWelcome!
Hello, Bjdj01, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have noticed that you are fairly new! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I also see that some of your recent edits show an interest in the use of images and/or photos on Wikipedia.
Did you know that ...
- ...Wikipedia has a very stringent image use policy?
- ...most images from Flickr, online news websites, and other web sources are copyrighted?
- ...Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously?
- ...freely-licensed images should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images where they can be used on all Wikipedia projects?
- ...we recommend that new users use our "files for upload" process - at least until you get the hang of things?
If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}}
on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

editHello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to John F. Kennedy. 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:
|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!

Duplicate images
editOn the President pages where you replaced the lead image, the image was already on the page. Please stop replacing lead images with duplicates. Laszlo Panaflex (talk) 02:12, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
Ronald Reagan
editHowdy. Would you please stop capitalizing at Ronald Reagan article. You'll note that WP:JOBTITLES was implemented on all the US presidents & US vice presidents (i.e decapitalization) bio articles. So unless you're planning on 'reverting' all of them, then perhaps you shouldn't revert 'any' of them. GoodDay (talk) 03:07, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
