[edit]Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Tom Troscianko. 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!

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Tom Troscianko. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

@Zackmann08:Thank you for your guidance. I thought I had eliminated all errors, but also seem to have generated some new ones. I take your advice and will try Sandbox to fix errors offline first. Susan Blackmore (talk) 15:15, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
@Zackmann08: I have edited the page Tom Troscianko in my sandbox to remove all errors (I hope). Can you please help - I think it is ready to move from sandbox back into a live article but I cannot find how to do that Susan Blackmore (talk) 17:33, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
@Zackmann08: I believe I have corrected all errors on page Tom Troscianko. I hope it is possible now for you to remove the marked for deletion header? Thank you Susan Blackmore (talk) 12:25, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
