Hello Professor Amuseclio,

My name is Zachary Bennett, and I am a sophomore at Wesleyan University. For my Latin American History course with Professor Corinna Zeltsman, I have been assigned to expand a Wikipedia stub. I chose the "Plan of Ayutla." I did not know at the time that you were also working on it. At this point, I have done much research, and my final project is due on April 23. My plan for the page is to have a section that discusses the prelude and the document itself, a section that discusses the subsequent Revolution, and a section that discusses the aftermath of the Revolution. Would it be possible for us to coordinate our work?Zacharyhbennett (talk) 18:40, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Professor Amuseclio. Thanks for the advice regarding sources that discuss the Plan de Ayutla. My project and the Wikipedia article are almost in final form.Zacharyhbennett (talk) 22:40, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images § Size for further guidance on expanded or reduced image sizes. Except with very good reason, do not use px (e.g. |thumb|300px), which forces a fixed image width measured in pixels, disregarding the user's image size preference setting. In most cases upright=scaling_factor should be used, thereby respecting the user's base preference (which may have been selected for that user's particular devices). If px is used, the resulting image should usually be no more than 500 pixels tall and no more than 400 pixels wide, for comfortable display on the smallest devices "in common use" (though this may still cause viewing difficulties on some unusual displays). To convert a px value to scaling_factor, divide it by 220 and round the result as desired. For example, |150px is roughly equivalent to |upright=0.7 (150 / 220 ≃ 0.6818).

Will try and fix all this today.--Moxy- 16:35, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Moxy. I appreciate your contacting me and for giving me the suggested metrics on image sizes. I have never encountered an objection in my years of editing. Hats off to you as a more experienced editor. I do understand that authors might want a particular preference for display of the images they post. In a number of cases where I have resized an image it is because it is disproportionately large in its display regarding the alphabetic text with intended to supplement or illustrate. I look at the image displays on my iPhone and my laptop to see whether the resizing distorts the images in some obvious way, so I'm sensitive to that matter. The alphabetic text in Wikipedia articles is subject to editing, so I do not see how a person posting an image has complete control over its usage. As for the resized images, the originals can be accessed by readers and remain unchanged. For me the resizing is an aesthetic judgment. I am not going to the barricades over the matter. Best, Amuseclio. 18:23, 1 May 2022 (UTC)Amuseclio Amuseclio (talk) 18:23, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
