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

Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 09:34, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Magnolia677 I'll be sure to remove the external links from the article's body. By "non-notable names", I assume you're referring to people who don't have their own article on wikipedia. If that's the case, I have no problem excluding them if I cannot show how they played a significant role in advancing the family's interests. However, things get a bit murkier when applying this rationale to companies. There are a large number of well-capitalized businesses with a national/global market for their products or services which (for whatever reason) don't have their own articles. As long as the Rockefeller family owned them in whole or in part over a substantial period of time, I don't see why they should not be listed. Emiya1980 (talk) 10:32, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response. I agree companies are more complicated, and should be included. Perhaps just a note explaining the connection to the family. Thank you again for your hard work. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:39, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{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.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe 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.

AI upscaled images

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)[reply]

{{Easy CSS image crop}}

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

Adam Cuerden I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say. If it's about Theodore Roosevelt, I'm happy about how things look now. Are you suggesting making further changes?Emiya1980 (talk) 05:19, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, just... you've played with the template used in Roosevelt, so you know it's maybe a bit hard to understand. I'd like to make it so that if we ever wanted to crop another image, anyone could adjust it easily, and understand what they were doing. I'm doing Taft next, you know (although I'm thinking of changing the base image there).

In all honesty, I'm not the best person to speak with about template design on Wikipedia. I just made some tweaks which I thought would be conducive to obtaining the best outcome in the Theodore Roosevelt article. However, before you plan on making changes to William Howard Taft, I would recommend getting consensus of editors in advance.Emiya1980 (talk) 05:38, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Message already on the talk page. Though if I see nothing in a week... just doing it.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

I replaced the word "ultimately" per your suggestion. The "Great General Staff" is the official term for the German General Staff. It says so in the Wikipedia article.Emiya1980 (talk) 21:40, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Founders

Hello,

Regarding the names of the founders of a company, Wikipedia must follow

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.
