July 2024

Hello, I'm Sumanuil. Thank you for your recent contributions to Baron of Muirton. I noticed that you added an image to the article's infobox as a thumbnail. In future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox, as this is against the Manual of Style. When adding an image, supply only the filename to the |image= parameter and the caption to the |caption= parameter instead. 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 on that page for proper instructions and documentation. Thanks! - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 04:30, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For some reason it autopopuated as a thumbnail, I wasn't sure why and I wondered if that was the default for that infobox. I will will fix it and watch for that in the future. Thanks! Muirton (talk) 18:04, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

COI Notice: Richard Culbert of Muirton edits

Hi @Muirton — per WP:COI and WP:AUTO, editors are discouraged from editing articles where they are personally involved, including pages about themselves, their titles, or associated claims.

If you'd like to propose changes to the Baronage of Scotland article regarding your name or barony, please suggest them here on the Talk page, and another editor without a COI can review. Also it says unverified here you might want to fix that. Thanks! Kellycrak88 (talk) 22:58, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Kellycrak88, can I ask why I find you on this heavily COId user's talk page explicitly advising them to update their information on the Baronage Roll, and even providing a convenient link to the website? — Arcaist ^(contr ^—talk) 23:35, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just being helpful as the user was removing the unverified tag and citation source next to his name, so I pointed them toward the appropriate way to ensure accurate, sourced information could be maintained. That’s consistent with WP:V and WP:COI best practice — better that information be verified than silently altered. Kellycrak88 (talk) 23:39, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
