{{Talk:Italian ironclad Ancona/GA1}}

Parsecboy, I am not edit-warring. I simply redid changes I thought were inadvertantly reverted.

My primary purpose for editing this article was to change code that was generating CS1 error and warning messages. I also edit to conform to Wikipedia "standards" which are continually changing.

• "Short, wide images sometimes benefit from upright factors greater than 1.0." per Help:Pictures.
• "For instance, upright=1.5 makes the image larger, which is useful for maps or schematics that need to be larger to be readable." per Wikipedia:Extended image syntax or WP:PICSIZE.
• I did not know that author-page was acceptable for short citations. I though publication date was also desired.

I will continue to change wikitext that generates error and warning messages.User-duck (talk) 17:57, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

:The plan and profile image has no real text that needs to be legible - just a reference to the class, which is accomplished by the caption. You applied the larger sizing to a normal image at Italian ship Affondatore (and indicated you'd like to do it to the photo [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Italian_ironclad_Terribile&curid=48047314&diff=1211553527&oldid=1202341522 here]). If you think the default image size should be greater than the 220px default, you can change what size thumbnails are display in your preferences. Bear in mind that other editors do have preferences set, so changing the default display overrides their preferences.

:I have been using this citation format for 15+ years, and in 80-some-odd Featured Articles (and I know others with similar content production use it as well). Parsecboy (talk) 10:38, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
