Game of Thrones edit
Hello Grettoonist, first off, thank you for your contributions to the project. Just a heads up, I reverted your edit at Game of Thrones. According to MOS:TVIMAGE, an intertitle shot of the show (i.e., a screenshot capture of the show's title) or a promotional poster used to represent the show itself should be used. If you feel that it should be the text logo, feel free to start a discussion at Talk:Game of Thrones. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you! --   LuK3      (Talk)   00:50, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Don't worry, I've fixed this for you. Just keep this in mind if you move a page in the future. Thanks! Aidan9382 (talk) 17:00, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

August 2022
Hello, I'm Binksternet. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Day of Infamy speech, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 13:00, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Photo of 6th National Congress
In your edit message on 6th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, you said that the photo you added had "been accounted for" and was actually for the 6th Congress. I'm sorry but that doesn't make any sense. The caption you added said that Mao was making his opening speech. Mao was not present at the 6th Congress, and it was held in Moscow. What is your source that this photo isn't of the 8th Congress, as its Chinese description says? SilverStar54 (talk) 17:26, 29 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello @SilverStar54,
 * I mistook this image occurring during the 6th National Congress, as that information had never been disputed up to now since 2015. I couldn't personally find any information that contradicted it, and I didn't want to say without evidence that it wasn't the case. Also, the image appears to have been cropped down the middle, and it cannot be confirmed from the image alone, but it appeared to be Mao giving his speech to the congress. This aspect of the image in its description still hasn't been disputed or changed, and that is why I said it.
 * My reason for adding images to these articles in the first place was in accordance with the guidelines on where they are to be used in relation to article content. And these precedents gave me enough reason to add the image into the article and the following caption. I agree that in hindsight, this decision was fallible, and I should have aired more on the side of caution about the lack of sourcing and proof of the claims. Apologies for the mistake made, it was not my intention. And thanks for correcting it and letting me know.
 * Sincerely, @Grettoonist (talk) 23:18, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
