Hi! Welcome to WikiProject Wisconsin! Many thanks-RFD (talk)

File:Information.svg Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to :Cana Island. 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:

{{para|image|{{var|File:SomeImage.jpg}}}}

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

{{para|image|{{var|SomeImage.jpg}}}}.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as {{para|caption|{{var|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! Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 23:12, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

File:Information.svg Hello, I'm Simplexity22. An edit you recently made to :Lime Island State Recreation Area seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hi-You would please start an article about Drummond Island in Lake Huron in Chippewa County, Michigan? Drummond Island was redirected to the Drummond Township, Michigan article. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 11:29, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

File:Information orange.svg Please do not use thumbnails inside of infoboxes{{space}}as you did to :Hungarian Falls. 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:

{{para|image|{{var|File:SomeImage.jpg}}}}

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

{{para|image|{{var|SomeImage.jpg}}}}.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as {{para|caption|{{var|Some image caption}}}}.

I'm not getting any hits on the sources you gave for Epoufette Island. My browser claims 4 hits on "Epouf" in the factbook but only shows two, neither of which is in the context of an island. The USGS link returns "The specified URL cannot be found". Regards, Cabayi (talk) 06:47, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

In the future, please add attribution when copying from public domain sources: simply add the template {{tlx|PD-notice}} after your citation. I have done so for the above article. Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself, and that it's okay to copy verbatim.

File:Thomas R. Wall Residence.jpg]]

Hey, glad to see your new article Thomas R. Wall Residence, with your nice pic, too! I edited a little bit there to refine the referencing to the NRHP nomination document, adding author and prep date from Section 11 of the document and adding link to accompanying photo (singular, for this one). It looks like you did a fine job developing the article, apparently starting with a good version of {{tl|infobox NRHP}} to adapt, and having found your way to the National Park Service's NRHP nomination document text perhaps by Google searching. But, FYI, there's an easier way: try the "NRHP infobox generator" tool at [http://elkman.net/nrhp/ http://elkman.net/nrhp/], which yields [http://elkman.net/nrhp/infobox.php?propname=Wall%2C+thomas&state=All&dbVersion=2014 this copy-ready material, exactly, for the Thomas R. Wall Residence]. It only works for some states (wisconsin included though) and only for NRHP-listing dates before some date in 2014 I think; there is more info about the tool and other resources at wp:NRHPHELP. Probably the best thing it offers is the already-partly-filled-out reference (using a URL definition using the NRHP reference number for the site) with the photos document included:

{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=84000732}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Wall, Thomas R., Residence |publisher=National Park Service|author= |date= |accessdate=December 14, 2020}} With {{NRHP url|id=84000732|photos=y|title=accompanying pictures}}

{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=84000732}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Wall, Thomas R., Residence |publisher=National Park Service|author= |date= |accessdate=December 14, 2020}} With {{NRHP url|id=84000732|photos=y|title=accompanying pictures}}

which I would refine slightly to fix the title, and add author and date, and describe the number of photos and their year(s):

{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=84000732}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Thomas R. Wall Residence / Multicultural Education Center, University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh|publisher=National Park Service|author=Paul R. Lusignan |date=September 1984 |accessdate=December 14, 2020}} With {{NRHP url|id=84000732|photos=y|title=photo from 1984}}.{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=84000732}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Thomas R. Wall Residence / Multicultural Education Center, University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh|publisher=National Park Service|author=Paul R. Lusignan |date=September 1984 |accessdate=December 14, 2020}} With {{NRHP url|id=84000732|photos=y|title=photo from 1984}}.

{{reflist-talk}}

I hope this tool might help and encourage you, to do more! There are just so so many NRHP sites still needing articles, and photos too; wp:NRHP needs your help, feel free to join the WikiProject NRHP and/or to comment at wt:NRHP. Anyway, whatever, thanks for what you've done, and feel free to contact me whenever (at my Talk page if I don't seem to notice a reply here). Keep up your good work, cheers, --Doncram (talk) 08:28, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fond du Lac River. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
