October 2016[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Hunted (2015 TV series). 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!

Thanks. I was in the process of making the changes when you changed it lol. Thanks anyway. Could you do me a favour and check out the license stuff for the images I added to the article? They all official images from publicly released stuff from Channel 4, but I wasn't sure what to put in Licenses. Thanks buddy.  :) MisterShiney 19:35, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hacksaw Ridge[edit]

I see you've tweaked the plot for the movie Hacksaw ridge. While I'm not opposed to having things trimmed I do need some guidance concerning a sentence you've modified which now needs tweaked for addition or removal. Originally, I had added a note that "...artillery bombardments from escort ships of the US Navy's Fast Carrier Task Force have not had much success in softening up the landing zone." The current version reads "...artillery bombardments from the US Navy's have not had much success in softening up the landing zone." Note that in the second revision you've left the apostrophe s, but it now serves no purpose. Either we need to lose the apostrophe or we need to note what kind of ships are being referenced. Personally, I liked the mention of the fast carrier task force since it adequately covered the whole fleet in use at Okinawa, but if we are interested in trimming the article I think the easiest solution would be to simply remove the apostrophe s so it reads " artillery bombardments from the US Navy have not had much success in softening up the landing zone." What do you think? TomStar81 (Talk) 00:07, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh that pesky apostrophe! Thanks for pointing that out. Feel free to delete it if it hasn't been done already. I missed it. MisterShiney 18:47, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
