Image files on Biology Articles

Hello! I noticed you've been adding image files to biology articles, like Theodoxus altenai ↗, Temnosternus ↗, and Zachrysia auricoma ↗. When you add the image in the infobox, it's not necessary to make it a thumbnail image. This edit ↗ might be a helpful example. Please let me know if I can provide any additional explanations! Thanks! - '''<span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#522C1B">t</span><span style="color:#522C1B">u</span><span style="color:#417DC1">coxn</span>'''\<sup><span style="font-family:serif">talk</span> ↗</sup> 17:08, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

Image additions

Hi Aminwa, I appreciate you are taking part in some kind of contest to add lots of images to articles, but please be more careful how and where you place them, and only add items that are clearly relevant to the article. For example, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ibis_(Ovid)&diff=prev&oldid=1033224755 ↗ addition was barely pertinent to the article, and broke its layout. Things like adding an image of the author to an article about one of their works may sometimes be okay, but in such cases please make sure you add a correct and informative caption – e.g. this ↗ is clearly ''not'' "Il Filostrato". Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:17, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
:Ditto to the Pam Ferris photo ↗ that was included on the Miss Trunchbull ↗ article. I deleted that photo, as it's more relevant to Pam Ferris ↗ (which you added the photo to already. If the photo were from the time period when the movie Matilda was released, it may be more appropriate. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 13:07, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi.
Am sorry for the inconveniences,but I still didn't understand the part of Pam Ferris,I know I added image that I saw for that particular article 🤦 Aminwa 21 (talk) 09:49, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

''Miconia griffisii ↗''

Can you explain why you have added an image of ''Miconia papillosa'' to this article (two times now). Thanks, Declangi (talk) 19:08, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

:Just a followup here to say that I've now removed the image of ''Miconia papillosa'' from the ''Miconia griffisii'' article. They are two different species. Declangi (talk) 22:25, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Aminwa, you need to address these concerns, or you might be blocked. Drmies (talk) 21:19, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Am just seeing this now.
When I was editing the articles(Miconia griffisii and Miconia papillosa),the two articles had a picture on the wikimedia commons( which I didn't know were the same).

But I have been briefed on how to ensure the addition of right/proper picture for an article.

Forgive my late response,it wasn't intentional. Aminwa 21 (talk) 13:07, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

Unformatted images

Hi! You're adding a lot of images. Please make sure that all that you add are properly formatted (unless they're in an infobox or table they'll normally need the code <code>|thumb</code>). I've reverted some where you didn't, such as :Édouard de Pomiane ↗. Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 07:35, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
