The file File:Laird Bell.jpeg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
'Unable to verify whether publication is allowed by source website.'
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
files for discussion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

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)

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)
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:
{{
Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why 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.

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 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images#Editing images.) Belbury ( talk) 08:44, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
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 Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) Adam Cuerden ( talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 05:04, 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)

Thanks for your contributions to Crocker family. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources and it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Schrödinger's jellyfish ✉ 02:19, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider
.Thanks again, and happy editing!
CNMall41 ( talk) 19:48, 14 March 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)
Hello,
Regarding the names of the founders of a company, Wikipedia must follow reliable sources, extrapolations such as [1] [2] 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)

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—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—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

You were quick. I tried to edit the infobox as soon as I closed the RFC, and discovered that you had already edited the infobox in accordance with the close of the RFC. Robert McClenon ( talk) 05:05, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
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)
