Proper way to insert images in infoboxes

Hello @ManOfTheArk. I am @Archer1234. I noticed your recent edit to Jeanette Reibman where you added an image to the infobox. I want to let you know that the way you added the image was not done according to Wikipedia's Manual of Style (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE).

When adding an image to an infobox, thumbnails should NOT be used. Simply supplying the file name will work. For example, to use File:Image PlaceHolder.png, you can simply use |image=Image PlaceHolder.png. Captions should be specified with the |caption= parameter. Every infobox is different and the documentation for the infobox in question should be consulted for the proper parameters to match the image and caption.

To fix

Do not use the full image syntax:

|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

and optionally:

|caption=Some image caption.

Hopefully you will find this information useful for your future editing. If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask. — Archer1234 (t·c) 21:41, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Thridrangaviti Lighthouse

Thanks for the infobox and new citation. For some reason the coordinates in the PDF are completely wrong, placing the lighthouse off the coast of Greenland (!). I changed it, but, wanted to let you know in case data from the PDF effects other lighthouses. The other columns look ok, only the coordinates. -- GreenC 05:37, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up, I'll see if I can figure out and correct any other pages. ManOfTheArk (talk) 16:56, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
