{{helpme}} On the Calvary Cemetery, Queens page, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvary_Cemetery,_Queens, there is inset on the right a cropped map of Blissville that says that it is from the early 1900s. The actual map is from 1873 -- I have the larger (uncropped) version which has 1873 on the map, and the street names were also changed when Blissville (Long Island City) was incorporated into the City of New York in 1898. But, I don't see how to edit the description of the map to change the date. (My map source is from www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/Map/Bliss.1873.html) BoulderZiggle (talk) 03:08, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I edited it in the article to say 1873, and you can edit the file's description page here. Ks0stm If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. 03:13, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There is no way to make the caption for the picture standard across all pages...but you can edit them on each individual page. For example, on the blissville page, the picture is represented by the text saying
[[Image:Belcher_Hyde_Blissville_map.jpg|thumb|250px|Map of Blissville in the early 1900s from the [[Greater Astoria Historical Society]].]]

To edit the file's caption, you edit the text that matches the caption shown on the page, in this even the part that says "Map of...Society." Ks0stm If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. 03:29, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
