Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

Hi - I can see that you've left me a message, but in my ignorance, I can;t work out what or where you've posted. Can you help me out of my misery?

Petechilcott (talk) 20:39, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Did you click on the link to the Teahouse, and did your computer scroll down to the section in the Teahouse Archive 499? You started a section called "Adding data without verifiable sources" on The Teahouse.

Also, you got a response to your Help Desk question.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:04, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

August 2016[edit]

Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to King's Cup Race. 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!!
