November 2016

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Saint John, New Brunswick. 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!

Edits to "Atlantic Canada"

Hi there -

I noticed that you've twice changed the population statistics numbers on the Atlantic Canada page, to lump the Population Centres of "Saint John" (proper) and "Quispamsis-Rothesay" together. However, the article uses the Census numbers, and they're separate for those purposes. Here: [1] You can see there that there are actually four population centres, as Stats Canada defines them, in the Saint John metro area: the core one of Saint John, and then Quispamsis-Rothesay, Hampton & Wells. It's these numbers from the Census that are used to build the table. If you have any questions, or can find some further error in the way I'm doing this, please feel free to message me back - either here or on my talk page. Thanks!
