Commons images on the main page
As stated in ITN's edit notice and in the text accompanying the template's "image" parameter, images should not be transcluded on the main page until they've been uploaded locally or protected at Commons. (Please see Main Page/Commons media protection for a simple method of triggering Commons protection.) In this instance, Malcolm Turnbull at the Pentagon 2016 cropped.jpg appeared on the main page in an unprotected state (subject to vandalism) for about thirteen minutes. Thank you. —David Levy 02:14, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you for taking the necessary action. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 02:21, 11 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for using Main Page/Commons media protection, but the protection doesn't take effect instantly. As noted in the instructions, it's important to confirm the bot has transcluded the image at Commons:Auto-protected files/wikipedia/en before using it on the main page.  (In this instance, it took about five minutes.)
 * Also, please remember to remove the existing "(pictured)" notation when adding it to a different item. Thanks again.  —David Levy 21:27, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Wolfgang Lüth
Hi, I've been thinking about reassessing the above article due to unreliable sources being used:
 * 12 citations to Karl Alman aka Franz Kurowski
 * 12 citations to a self-published source Florian Berger
 * 6 citations to Gordon Williamson (writer)

Please also see: Wolfgang Lüth.

Since you reviewed the article back in 2009, I wanted to check in beforehand to see if there would be any concerns. If you could let me know that would be great. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:31, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey, thanks for this. I've posed this question over at WT:MHCOORD. :-) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 04:52, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

 * It's a meme. Parsecboy (talk) 10:03, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
 * It's irrelevant.  Cassianto Talk   10:18, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Not at all. Parsecboy (talk) 10:37, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Curious. The proof that this was malicious is evident in the respondent's reply.   Cassianto Talk   12:46, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
 * That neither TRM nor you got the joke doesn't mean it was not a joke. That I have to explain that is not encouraging. Parsecboy (talk) 13:23, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Given the history between TRM and Ed, I'd've called the "joke" inappropriate, at best.  Cassianto Talk   14:45, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to apologize. The post there merely calls out a small hypocrisy where TRM did something he castigated me for not long ago. All that being said, "delete your account" is not meant to be taken literally. We even have an article on the phrase. :-) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 15:56, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
