Unrelated to the block, but also important, [[Tardis:Deletion policy#Blanking articles|don't blank an article]]. Not if it needs deletion. But specially, as you did at <nowiki>[[Calapians]]</nowiki>, which merely needed renaming. Preserving the edit history of articles is essential to the functioning of the wiki. In the future, just add a {{tlx|Speedy rename}} to the page (which was already present at the time of your blanking) and wait until an admin does the moving.

== Markarian image == | |||
Hello! Just dropping in to elaborate on my having replaced [[:File:Markarian.png|your image]] at "[[Markarian]]" with [[:File:Markarian.jpg|another]]. As you seem to be a recent addition to the ranks of Tardis Wiki editors, it's quite understandable you wouldn't know about this yet, but from one editor to another: this Wiki has a rather [[Tardis:Image use policy|complicated]] and [[:Category:Image policies|numerous]] host of [[Help:Image cheat card|policies]] for what images you can upload and how, which I'd recommend you read through. (Rassilon knows it took ''me'' a while to get used to them, but most of these rules ''are'' there for good reason.) | |||
In this case, your image was in PNG rather than JPG format, it was higher than it was wide, and it was over 100ko in size. Good job on the to-the-point filename, though. A lot of new users get ''that'' wrong as well — and you didn't! | |||
Again, I am not an admin, and even if I were, you wouldn't be in trouble for a first offence like this, I should think. 's just a friendly heads-up. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 18:14, May 7, 2020 (UTC) | |||
