Photo captions

[edit]

Hi!

You've made many good edits which we greatly appreciate. You've also made some edits that we disagree with - mostly dealing with captions. All photos should have captions. For sighted people it means we don't have to follow the link and hunt in the description about whether this is the base model, the sports model, the luxury model, pre/post-facelift, which year and which market - all of which often have big visual differences. For sight impaired readers it is vastly more important. They can't see the image so it needs to be described to them. An article on the Corolla that has a photo with the caption "Toyota Corolla" is useless to them. Some of this is made official at WP:CARPIX, MOS:CAPTION and WP:CAPTION.

When making sweeping changes across many articles, it is best to edit a few articles first and wait a couple of days to see if there is any kick back. When there is kick back then start a discussion about why. Sometimes it will be something that you didn't realise. Sometimes it will be something that the community needs to learn. Either way, discussion is more fruitful then just repeating the effort. See WP:BRD. If you want to reach the entire WP automobile community then leave a message at the bottom of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles.

It is recommended (but not strictly required) that you register a user name. This makes it easier for other editors to communicate with you. Anon-IP addresses tend to get treated as less knowledgeable because often they are fly-by-night editors who make of a nuisance of themselves. Not saying that you are a nuisance - only that some editors may have a knee-jerk reaction against you merely for this reason. I highly recommend for you to register a username and for you to be a long term member of our project.  Stepho  talk  11:42, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mini MPV

[edit]

The category Mini MPV's is a sub-cat of Minivans. We only put an article into the most detailed cat that it will fit into, not all the parent cats. See WP:SUBCAT.


As mentioned in the above topic, please slow down. When you get something wrong across dozens of articles then somebody (me!) has to go back, analyse your changes and unpick them. You waste your own time and a lot of my time. Make a change to one or 2 articles and wait to see if anybody reacts against it. If nobody reacts after a day or 2 then you can go ahead and change heaps of articles. You are still learning the ins and outs of WP.  Stepho  talk  04:46, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
