Orphaned non-free image File:Edwin Pauley, Wang-Shih-chieh, and General Chu Shih-ming during the U.S. Reparations tour.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Edwin Pauley, Wang-Shih-chieh, and General Chu Shih-ming during the U.S. Reparations tour.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:08, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Rockefeller family
Thank you for your additions to Rockefeller family. I have a few concerns.

First, you have added non-notable names and companies to the embedded lists, such at Thomas M. Debevoise. My concern is that by doing this, the list is now wide open for the addition of anyone ever associated with the family (such as their auto mechanics and butlers). If it is crucial that non-notable names be listed, perhaps a short text can be included explaining why this person needs mentioning.

Second, please do not add external links to the body of the article, per WP:EL. An example would be "Arbor Acre Farms Inc.".

Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 09:34, 4 March 2023 (UTC)


 * I'll be sure to remove the external links from the article's body. By "non-notable names", I assume you're referring to people who don't have their own article on wikipedia. If that's the case, I have no problem excluding them if I cannot show how they played a significant role in advancing the family's interests. However, things get a bit murkier when applying this rationale to companies. There are a large number of well-capitalized businesses with a national/global market for their products or services which (for whatever reason) don't have their own articles. As long as the Rockefeller family owned them in whole or in part over a substantial period of time, I don't see why they should not be listed. Emiya1980 (talk) 10:32, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response. I agree companies are more complicated, and should be included. Perhaps just a note explaining the connection to the family. Thank you again for your hard work. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:39, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Andrei Pavlovich Kirilenko.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Andrei Pavlovich Kirilenko.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

AI upscaled images
Heads up per your "better quality image of subject" update of the Yuri Andropov article that the Wikipedia manual of style is presently against the use of AI to add detail to historical images - the original if slightly blurry photo from the 1980s is considered to be more useful here. (See Manual of Style/Images.) Belbury (talk) 08:44, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Easy CSS image crop
Don't use this in articles yet (it's a work in progress), but I'm trying to make things a little easier. This requires some information CSS image crop doesn't - the original image's width and height (so that it knows how tall the scaled-down image it's cropping from is) - but I think it's easier to use. For the cost of slightly more complex math in the template, I could put the crops left right top and bottom in terms of percentages, but I'm not sure if that's easier. It WOULD make scaling a lot easier.

Anyway, if you want to give your thoughts, I'm trying to develop it at Village pump (technical) Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 05:04, 31 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say. If it's about Theodore Roosevelt, I'm happy about how things look now. Are you suggesting making further changes?Emiya1980 (talk) 05:19, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * No, just... you've played with the template used in Roosevelt, so you know it's maybe a bit hard to understand. I'd like to make it so that if we ever wanted to crop another image, anyone could adjust it easily, and understand what they were doing. I'm doing Taft next, you know (although I'm thinking of changing the base image there). Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 05:27, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * In all honesty, I'm not the best person to speak with about template design on Wikipedia. I just made some tweaks which I thought would be conducive to obtaining the best outcome in the Theodore Roosevelt article. However, before you plan on making changes to William Howard Taft, I would recommend getting consensus of editors in advance.Emiya1980 (talk) 05:38, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, this is Winter. I have noticed that you have made unnecessary and borderline vandalizing edits to AT&T and IBM. Please don't use undocumented perimeters to show key people. Also, do not change founding dates without citing sources. WiinterU (talk) 16:46, 21 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Upon further discovery, there were more articles. WiinterU (talk) 16:56, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I have no problem providing citations for founding dates. With that being said, you are the only person who takes issue with my decision to modify the infobox to include key people in the company's history. What one deems unnecessary is subjective. If you can't point to an Wikipedia guideline corroborating your claims about "bordlerline vandalism", I redirect you to the page, Assume good faith.Emiya1980 (talk) 01:24, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

I have just looked at your recent edits on this. Sorry if I am now telling you to do things that you know very well but it is customary to give a reason for your edits such as "further details added with a source" or " I think this reads better" or "Typo". I think the Wikipedia guidance is that the only time you need not do this is when you revert a piece of vandalism. The edits themselves mostly look OK and you have added some sources, which is great, however I'm not sure about the one that uses "ultimately". It looks a bit long but I am not going to alter it. Also can you tell me why you call the "general staff" the "great general staff." It may be a good edit or not-I don't know- it may depend on the reasons. Spinney Hill (talk) 20:25, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I replaced the word "ultimately" per your suggestion. The "Great General Staff" is the official term for the German General Staff. It says so in the Wikipedia article.Emiya1980 (talk) 21:40, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Founders
Hello,

Regarding the names of the founders of a company, Wikipedia must follow reliable sources, extrapolations such as are considered original research and should be avoided.

Same goes for these other edits, I didn't check all of them but WP:TRUTH might be worth a read.

Kind regards. Thibaut (talk) 08:50, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

May 2024
Your recent editing history at Leonid Brezhnev shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Can I ask what's wrong with the 2019 image of Starr? It's closer, higher quality, and more recent. Why do you keep reverting to an image thats over 12 years old when we have newer and better ones? Shoot for the Stars (talk) 08:52, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

You've been around a while so I won't template you, but I will warn you about edit warring and ownership over at Talk:Benito Mussolini. I count 5 reverts in just over 24 hours: (four of those strictly within the 24 hour window). Some of that rhetoric is borderline uncivil as well. Please save us both some time and take a step back, because your next revert will land you at WP:3RRN. And yes, to answer your question, I do care about overall collegiality on contentious topics like this more than I do about the specific content dispute at hand. Generalrelative (talk) 19:06, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Your point is noted with regards to the reverts. That being said, explain to me why Nemov gets a pass for uncivil accusations about me wasting other editors' time with this Rfc and others.Emiya1980 (talk) 19:13, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Generalrelative Another example of Nemov's civility. Emiya1980 (talk) 19:17, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * GR is, to my knowledge, not an administrator. If you think users are in violation of WP policy, you should bring them to a noticeboard. And please don’t criticize fellow editors based on what they choose to give their time to. This is a volunteer project, and everyone is entitled to whatever priorities they want. ꧁ Zanahary ꧂ 05:25, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I concede your point if you are referring to my prior post on GR's talk page. However, if another editor openly accuses me in the middle of an Rfc of wasting others' time while trying to get concrete evidence of a consensus (or lack thereof) out in the open, I take offense to that and am inclined to respond in kind.Emiya1980 (talk) 17:25, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

You have in the past been warned for making personal attacks and other types of WP:TALKNO violations wrt image RfCs you've started. This latest comment is a highly inappropriate personalization of a policy-based discussion. I encourage you to self-revert. Continuing this pattern of misbehavior may result in loss of editing privileges, including I presume a ban on initiating image RfCs in the future. Generalrelative (talk) 19:10, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Characterize my statement however you want. It doesn't make it any less true. Emiya1980 (talk) 20:08, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Assuming you're referring to the current version of that comment as it now appears on Hermann Göring's talk page. If not, it has already been edited to more truthfully reflect your conduct on the Mussolini Rfc thread. That being said, I do find it rather hypocritical that you ONCE AGAIN call me out for personal attacks while giving Nemov a free pass to disparage me for supposedly wasting other editors' time.

File:Robert Dowling.jpeg
Hello!

I noticed this file is both non-free and licensed GFDL 1-2. It is correct that it may be licensed GFDL on openwaterpedia but that is only relevant if whoever uploaded the file to openwaterpedia is the copyright holder. There is no information that back up the claim about GFDL so I do not think we can add that license.

So unless you know more about the file I think the license tag for GFDL should be removed. --MGA73 (talk) 06:40, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
