Hi - When editing an article, could you please use the "Show Preview" button instead of "Save Page" to check your edits, as having ten revisions in quick succession for an article is a bit of a waste of space.

Also, if you go to an image page, eg [[:Image:Mike.jpg]], under the image it shows you the dimensions (size) of the picture - for that one it is 120 × 137 pixels. That is the width × height. when you specify a thumbnail of an image, putting in a measurement of pixels forces it to go to that width. If you specify a bigger width than the image, such as making Mike.jpg go to 200px or 150px wide (when it is only 120px wide) will cause it to look pixelated and distorted. If the image is smaller than 150px width, you don't need to say how wide the thumbnail has to be, because it will just use the full image, and it will look good. Putting a size in a thumbnail is to make massive images fit, not to make small images bigger. I'll put all this on [[Help:Images]] too.
