Question of proper use of fine art images

In an earlier era, when I was a logging editor, I was take to task for presenting a piece of fine art on my User page. Has no one challenged the appearance of "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" on your User page, as being disallowed? I am asking not to challenge, but to understand if the rules have changed since I retired (and perhaps to understand if my being taken to task was a mattter of bias rather than fair application of generally applied rules). Cheers, and by the way, I love that art work (and your dedication as well). 98.46.104.237 (talk) 15:57, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Hey there, thanks for the question. The Great Wave image is a free, public domain image from Wikimedia Commons, which means there is no issue using it freely across Wikipedia, including on user pages. The only reason I can imagine artwork may have been challenged on your page was if it was non-free, or copyrighted.— TAnthony^Talk 16:32, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Episode tagging

I did a PetScan query and there are over 7900 pages still to do. Are you sure you don't want a normal bot to do this? Gonnym (talk) 19:55, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

I chose a few and they all seem to have redirect templates and categories, what was your query?— TAnthony^Talk 19:58, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Pages that have Template:R from television episode but their talk page does not have {{WikiProject Television}}. Gonnym (talk) 20:00, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Ah OK. I have a lot less than that in my current run, but my initial AWB query was limited and ignores any talk pages that already exist. I'll finish that up and see where we are, you're probably right I should hand it over to a bot.— TAnthony^Talk 20:08, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Also a number of those will be talk pages which redirect to other talk pages, usually from one disambiguation to another. I'm not sure what should be done with those, so for now I've skipped them.— TAnthony^Talk 20:19, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Remove the talk page redirect and tag them. That's what I do. That also makes it so that page will end up in reports (say if the redirect is sent to RfD). Gonnym (talk) 20:20, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Copy that.— TAnthony^Talk 20:22, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Everything under Category:Radio episode redirects to lists (there are a lot of Doctor Who audio dramas) also use {{R from TV episode}}. They have WP Doctor Who and WP BBC banners.— TAnthony^Talk 23:32, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Ok, I've updated the query and it should now be without those pages. Gonnym (talk) 05:14, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Great job! Down from over 7900 to 627! --Gonnym (talk) 11:34, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

And since my watch list is full of character tagging, in case you are wondering, according to this query there are 6703 pages still to go :) Gonnym (talk) 09:56, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Haha, I was wondering if there were any other weirdos like me who have character redirects on their watchlists LOL. — TAnthony^Talk 14:11, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Well, most of the MCU and Arrowverse ones were created or later edited by me but it seems I have a lot of other ones on my watch list. Between your edits and some date related infobox fixes, that is basically my whole watchlist this week :) Gonnym (talk) 16:50, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

 Done— TAnthony^Talk 17:40, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Compliant colors

re: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wrestlers_(TV_series)&diff=next&oldid=1219575333 compliant to what? Was this inaccessible? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:31, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Yes, the red chosen for the lines was not compliant with WP:COLOR and placed the article into Category:Episode lists with non-compliant line colors. #B50000 is a compliant red. I initially changed the headers to match the compliant red but then realized that the mismatch was intentional.— TAnthony^Talk 17:21, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Wow, nice save. Sorry to make more work for you. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:24, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Errors

Note that your JWB edits earlier today caused some errors (example). Please can you check how many other pages were affected and make the necessary fixes? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:28, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

WP Tagging

Hello. Recently you added WP Video Game banners to many redirect talk pages (e.g. at Talk:Team Rocket's Meowth and Talk:ワナイダー). I think you only meant to add the parameter |Nintendo=y, but you erroneously also added |eSports=y. This is not that big of a deal, but I figured I'd reach out and let you know. – Pbrks ^(t·c) 14:38, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Hey thanks, I did catch that and stopped adding task forces with the tool. I may go back and add those game-by-game so they're accurate. I made some fixes but may not have gotten them all, I'll jump on the ones you noticed now. Thanks again.— TAnthony^Talk 14:43, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

The Publishers' Weekly

You seem to be on a tear taking the apostrophe out of "Publishers' Weekly" wherever it appears. The problem is that, as our article states, the original title of the publication is The Publishers' Weekly, with apostrophe. (You can see an example here) Reference to it with an apostrophe should be kept when era-appropriate.That is independent of whether the The is included as we frequently drop leading Thes, such as refering to a New York Times article rather than a The New York Times article. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 18:12, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

"Our article"? Anyway yes, there are other articles with the same appropriate reference to the original punctuation, I've linked it in Anti-Yellow Dog Club in such a way as to avoid future bots and queries singling it out.— TAnthony^Talk 18:33, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I consider Wikipedia to be "ours", a creation of those who edit it.

There should be no automated or similar replacements in any case. The change you made is raising my WP:NOTBROKEN sensors hard. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 18:53, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

I totally get that, and I frequently restore valid redirects per that policy. But from a technical standpoint, the redirect here looks like a mispunctuation along the lines of Publisher's Weekly, and a casual editor or a bot programmed in good faith would not know what we know, that it's correct in certain instances. It's not as obvious a violation of WP:NOTBROKEN as blindly changing every instance of William Jefferson Clinton to Bill Clinton would be.— TAnthony^Talk 19:11, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
