  Happy New Year!
Hello KatnissEverdeen:


Did you know ... that back in 1885, Wikipedia editors wrote Good Articles with axes, hammers and chisels?

Thank you for your contributions to this encyclopedia using 21st century technology. I hope you don't get any unnecessary blisters.

Re: Ross Ulbricht photo

edit

Dear Katniss: I am not experienced with posting figures on wikipedia. I do not understand your comment "File is not valid. Did you upload it to Wikipedia before adding it to the article?" Yes, I uploaded the photo to wikimedia first. However, my file is not longer there.

File:Ross Ulbricht ca. 2011 as a founder of Good Wagon Books.jpg

Could you please repost it? My original file is at https://disk.yandex.ru/d/wuRikphHoMox9w . Thank you in advance, Walter Tau. Walter Tau (talk) 12:58, 25 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Walter Tau, I just wanted to clarify that I didn't delete your photo. I simply removed the dead link from the article, which I ran across via Category:Articles with missing files. Looking at the deletion log, it looks like Didym deleted the image because it was marked as a copyright violation. Images uploaded to Wikipedia are required to have licensing, meaning that republication and distribution of the image must be allowed by the author/owner of the image, and commercial use of the image must be allowed in order to upload it. Since I'm not an admin here, and I also didn't see the image before Didym deleted it, you may want to contact Didym (who I also pinged in my response) for further explanation if you are still confused as to why the image you uploaded was deleted. You may also want to read Commons:Licensing for further information if that's helpful.
Regarding my "Did you upload it to Wikipedia before adding it to the article?" comment, I apologize for the confusion. It didn't appear to be showing up in the deletion log at the time I removed the link from the article, which is why I thought maybe you hadn't uploaded it, but it's possible that I made a mistake on my end and somehow missed Didym's note for why it had been deleted. I hope that explains things. Cheers, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor 17:38, 25 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Jennifer Hale

edit

You reverted additions to the Jennifer Hale page which were added by Jennifer Hale herself. She wants her skillshub business referenced, and she wants the photo that is currently there. Please stop reverting a page that is contributed to by the actual person, especially to change a photo she’s specifically requested and a business she wants connected. 202.91.45.223 (talk) 05:44, 29 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

I can comfirm the picture and business was added by Jennifer Hale. Please stop. MissSoraSayuri (talk) 10:48, 29 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hello, the edit that was reverted added a non-existent and misformatted image (see this version of the page), which is why those edits were undone. The edit also added a promotional link in the middle of the article, which is against Wikipedia policy. While the image can be changed and the business can be discussed in the article, any additions cannot violate Wikipedia policy (which adding promotional links in the middle of an article does), regardless of if the subject of the article wants it changed or not. Please see the bottom of the talk page if you have further questions about how this issue should be approached. Regards, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor 19:06, 29 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Alessandro Pio Riccio on loan from Juventus

edit

Hi
I saw that you un-edited my edit regarding the end of the loan of Alessandro Pio Riccio from Juventus page. The loan effectively ends this june. In the page was mistakenly reported 2025 (thus a 2 years loan) probably because of a typo or a copy-paste from another player (some players are effectively on a 2 yeras loan, e.g. Rovella). Here some reference, no one reporting the 2 years as duration: https://www.parlandodisport.it/2023/08/31/ufficiale-modena-fc-il-giovane-alessandro-pio-riccio-e-un-nuovo-difensore-gialloblu/ https://www.pianetaserieb.it/calciomercato-serie-b/pio-riccio-modena-ufficiale/ Do you have ani refernece stating that the loan will end in 2025? in that case we could review.
regards Riktetta (talk) 07:40, 29 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello Riktetta, the reason I reverted your edit is because you didn't provide a source or explanation as to why you were switching the information that was already there. However, it looks like you have two good references there, so feel free to re-add the information with the source. Cheers, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor 19:00, 29 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
