About Helene Cooper
Hello there! I have reverted your edit on Helene Cooper (I tend to er on the side of caution) mainly because I'm not sure if the person in the image you are attempting to add is the same as the page's subject. I compared the image you are trying to add with the image that was already on the page and they did not appear to be similar. Also, I see that you provided your email address for me to contact you and, while I would do that, I would prefer not to as my email uses my real name which I prefer remain private whenever I'm online. ― Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#0001 19:47, 23 September 2021 (UTC)


 * I see that you are having issues replying to me. There's an edit source button and all you have to do is, underneath this message, simply add 2 colons to indent your reply. To answer what you have said in your edit summary, I have nothing against Helene, in fact I didn't know she existed until I happened upon your edit. I am simply saying that I can't easily tell whether or not the person in the image you are trying to add is Helene as they look different from the person in the image that already exists in the article. I have every right to revert your edit as you do mine. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia anyone can edit (unless the article is protected or the user has been blocked). Now that said, if the person in the image is indeed Helene then it can remain. ― Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#0001 20:44, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Head’s up about Wikipedia’s edit warring policy
Hi there! Sorry you’re having difficulties with your edit. I have checked out the image you uploaded and am happy to take it from here; this is the best way to proceed as Wikipedia has a “three-revert” policy, so continuing to re-add the image without first establishing consensus on the article’s talk page could end up with a block. Wouldn’t want that for a brand-new editor just trying to be helpful! Let me know if I can answer any questions. Thanks for your contribution to the encyclopedia.
