Hi, please make sure the images you add to entries match the definitions. You shouldn't just take one image and use it for all words which appear in the caption. – Jberkel 11:57, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hello Jberkel,
- I believed I was doing relevant images to illustrate the words. Contrary to what you suggest, I wasn't just taking image caption and adding it to all words. I used two different captions, and only added it to the most relevant words.

- Above is the gallery of removed illustrations with captions (boldened word is the Wiktionary entry I used it for). The only one that may have been overkill was lifetime. Maaaybe active is not 100% perfect as well, but I made sure to put it to #5 definition, which was best. Do you believe that the images don't depict tourism, recreation, adventure and horseback?
- I'm a beginner, so I'm going to ask for guidance at global discussion as well. Kind regards.

- Some words (especially abstract nouns) are difficult to illustrate, or depend on how the viewer sees it. Just ask yourself what you can actually see, without the caption, without knowing where it was taken etc. People riding horses. No tourism, no active, no adventure, no recreation, no lifetime. Someone else might interpret it as a horse race, and not as recreational ride. It might serve to illustrate horseback, yes, but that entry already has a good image, and your photographs are wide-angle, so details (like the back of the horses) are not prominent. Unfortunately we don't have detailed written guidelines on this, but I hope it makes sense. – Jberkel 13:02, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- Your explanation makes sense. Nevertheless, I'd like to see a discussion, maybe in Wiktionary:Information desk. I know that it's difficult to illustrate active and recreation, but it's these words that (in my opinion) actually need an illustration most. Of course, looking at a photo of a horse riding group, it's not obvious what's going on. But I hoped that with caption supplementing the context, it served the illustration purpose. But let's see what suggestions will the community have, if any. --Tupungato (talk) 13:41, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
