Shay Mitchell photo
Hello. You have removed File:Shay Mitchell 2019 by Glenn Francis.jpg from Shay Mitchell twice. Could you please explain why? Sdrqaz (talk) 01:17, 16 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi! I work for Shay and she would like that photo removed. It is not representative of what she looks like 99.999% of the time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kayrochic (talk • contribs) 01:20, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Part of Wikipedia's credibility is based on the fact that it is not someone's personal website. While it is admirable that you have declared your paid status here, it is recommended that you do not edit the article directly, and instead engage with other editors on the article's talk page. Part of effective communication with others on Wikipedia is using edit summaries to provide reasons for why you were removing the photo. Other editors looking at the page history just see someone removing the photo over and over again, for no apparent reason. As for a replacement of the image, it appears you know how to donate one to Wikimedia, so I won't bore you by taking you through it. Hopefully this helps. Sdrqaz (talk) 02:04, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi! I did declare why I was removing it the first time (outlined where you linked out). I'm a longtime reader and monetary contributor of wikipedia but I've never edited any articles.  So what I am supposed to do is reach out to someone else and ask them to make the desired change? I'm actually not totally sure how to donate a photo and was asking around to see if anyone knew to avoid teaching myself, but perhaps it's best to ask an existing editor? thank you for taking the time!

 * You did say "deleted the picture - will figure out how to upload another we have rights to", but that doesn't tell people looking at the history it was removed. Please don't edit your messages after others have replied either. In this case, you can open a new section on the talk page and discuss with other editors, though I think your case would be strengthened by actually having an alternate photo instead of just saying "can we not have a photo for a while?". As for donating an image, since I assume the image will be of professional quality, the information here will probably be useful. Sdrqaz (talk) 15:30, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
