Help regarding info box

{{help me}} Adding a map to an info box

Please help me with...

Hello, I have been trying to add the following map to the info box on my page:

No matter what I do, I cannot get it to appear. I have tried copying the code from other pages that use the same image but to no avail. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Design Archivist (talk) 12:40, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what page are you trying to add it to, but the most common error people make when trying to add images to infoboxes is to include wiki picture markup like [[...]] to the template field. For the most part infoboxes already supply all coding wrapper for an image, and so adding wikicode for images to the template field will break it. Also, many infobox image parameters do not want you to include the namespace "file: or "image". So, next to the image field add "File:Location map Brighton central.png" and if that doesn't work, try just "Location map Brighton central.png", to wit

| image =  File:Location map Brighton central.png

Or:

| image = Location map Brighton central.png

NOT:

| image = [[File:Location map Brighton central.png]]

or include any other code. Of course, caption text for the image is an entirely separate field in the template, usually something like | caption =. If that doesn't work then add back the helpme request and explain that it still did not work. By the way, you can read about how to fill out any particular template at the template page itself. Take the name of whatever template you're looking at, add "Template:" before it and place that in the search field to navigate to it to read its documentation. For example, if you were using infobox artist that you found that another article, to see the template page where the documentation is, you would search for Template:Infobox artist. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 12:58, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your quick response.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Disambiguation link notification for May 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Henri Kay Henrion, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page MARS. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

All statements of fact must be verifiable in reliable sources. You can use a source more than once if it serves to verify multiple sections of the article.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Tseung Kwan O was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

You need to add reliable third-party sources to this article. This submission contains many references from affiliated sources, which fails the above requirement.

Hello, I'm Theroadislong. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Duncan Grant have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 13:43, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Edward Bawden. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 13:45, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Design Archivist. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Draft:Paul Clark (designer), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 17:38, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Paul Clark (designer) (November 12)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Shadowowl was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
