Hello Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope you are having a great day/night, depending on your time zone.

Writting this letter in order to explain an issue i recognized earlier. I was reading through articles in wikipedia and i recognized that some logo pictures on numereous amount of pages are sized wrong: some of them are too big to fit in the frame, some of them are too small and lose quality. My question is - what should be a perfect size for picture to be fully optimized in frame of wikipedia, so there wont be any size issues and lose of quality?

Looking forward to your reply,

It would help if you could give some examples. The aspect ratio can affect how an image appears in the infobox. It is possible to adjust the size manually.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 07:32, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Denzo9909 - Logos are, almost always, copyright, so can only be used under a claim of fair use. As stated at WP:FILESIZE "If the image is copyrighted and used under fair use, the uploaded image must be as low-resolution as possible consistent with its fair-use rationale".
I can't find the guideline at the moment, but somewhere it states that, for free use, it should be not more than 300 px on one side. This means that very detailed logos will lose some of their detail. Conversely, if uploaded less than 200 px wide, it will not display in the infobox correctly, without using an image size parameter. This then magnifies a less detailed image, giving poor quality. - hope that helps - Arjayay (talk) 14:17, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

However, these days fair-use files are automatically shrunken by a bot after awhile, so uploading a whetever res logo works too. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:43, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Online newspapers that just link to or reproduce an Instagram video do not count.

@Robert Merkel: What is the "Vega graphing tool"? if you are trying to replicate your work at User:Robert Merkel/GraphTest, then I do not think you can directly use the syntax of a English Wikipedia template in a Commons file. If I were trying to do this, I would use gnuplot on my home computer, emit an SVG file, and upload the SVG file to Commons. Converting your template into a gnuplot input file should be straightforward, gnuplot should allow you to create an output that is visually very similar to your template. You can document your work by adding the gnuplot input as part of the file description at Commons. -Arch dude (talk) 15:16, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Someone keeps removing Paolo's nationality on the info box. Before it had: Nationality: American / Italian. Listing him as only 'American' is not right. Paolo is a dual American & Italian citizen and on NBA draft night he said he'll be representing Italy. Hence, he's an Italian basketball player. It's a tricky one because he's born in the U.S., holds dual American & Italian citizenship, and will represent Italy at international tournaments. Just having Paolo as an American basketball player is not right, especially when he's registered for Italy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allan.waterhouse (talk • contribs) 05:54, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, This edit is technically beyond me, so I'd like to ask someone else to do it.

In the first introductory paragraph of the entry for writer Oliver Onions, the first sentence ends with "over 40 novels" and cites Kunitz and Haycraft. Two things: 1. I have this book, and this quantity of works is not mentioned there, so the reference is incorrect. 2. All the research I've done suggests that Onions did not write this number of novels, so it's also incorrect factually.

I could edit out the sentence to simply read "and novels" and remove the reference at that point. But that would mess up the numbering of the references, which I don't know how to fix.

Hoping someone who has better skills can sort this one out.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Addition of content that you disagree with is not WP:Vandalism, which specifically means edits designed to harm the article/Wikipedia. it is merely WP:Content dispute which you and the other editor(s) involved should civilly discuss and reach a compromise on.

I notice that the content in question has 7 references. Whether or not the cited sources are reliable or not can be investigated and discussed, but Wikipedia takes a Neutral Point of View, which requires a balance of "good" and "bad" information about the subject in proportion to what is reliably published about them. It should not be used to present a "sanitised" image of a subject, which would border on Promotion.

Speculating on another editor's motives for adding information is bordering on failing to Assume Good Faith. Since you seem to have such a concern for this subject (and aside from this post have only edited the article about him), can you assure us that you have no Conflict of Interest to declare?

I'm working on a draft with a friend and I've come across an issue where I have a book that has two different Google Books pages and also two different ISBN numbers, despite being the same book. The only difference between them I can discern is that one is a print edition and the other is an Ebook edition, despite both being accessible and viewable in Google Books now. You can even see a link in the upper left of the former stating "View Ebook" that links to the latter page. What's the best way to cite these in a reference list? Should they be separate references entirely? Silverseren^C 22:37, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Sivlerseren. A citation of a book is to the book - possibly to a particular edition of the book, but not to any particular format. The citation should contain useful bibliographic information such as title, author, publisher, date, page number (in the edition of that date). For convenience of the reader it is helpful to include things like ISBN, and link to Google Books, but these are not an essential part of the citation. If you find two different formats have different ISBNs you should ideally give the ISBN of the copy you consulted (it sometimes used to be the case that hardback and paperback versions of a book had different ISBNs - I don't know whether this still happens). Some Ebook formats do not have fixed pagination (it depends on the user's formatting choices), so it seems undesirable to cite that format if it can be avoided. I guess that if you find the passage in a Google Books snippet and can verify it has the same information, you can then cite that edition, as you have consulted it.

This is a bit of a rambling answer: does it help? ColinFine (talk) 23:21, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A bit, @ColinFine:. The main issue here is that when searching the draft subject's name in the preview options for both Google Books pages, you actually get different results. One shows two pages discussing the subject and the other shows 5 different pages, including the Appendix, discussing the person. Herein lies the dilemma and is probably why my fellow editor included them as separate references. Silverseren^C 23:24, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why was my edit of an article removed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Mega_Group — Preceding unsigned comment added by Themissmargaux (talk • contribs) 07:30, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This edit had a promotional tone and used very unencyclopedic language. There may also be a conflict of interest if you are linked to this company.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 07:36, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, a great deal of unsourced content was added, the sources that were used were mostly primary, and a bunch of inappropriate inline external links were inserted in the lede. @Themissmargaux, there are a great many policies you should spend some time getting up to speed on before making such huge changes (especially WP:COI, as mentioned above). 174.21.23.32 (talk) 07:52, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, the draft you just submitted will not be accepted, for all of the same reasons. 174.21.23.32 (talk) 07:54, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to copy Template:Montgomery County, Maryland to my user subpage as User:40bus/County templates with minor changes. But it doesn't change to collapsible. Which is wrong? --40bus (talk) 07:47, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@40bus: If you mean why it didn't render at the time of your post then you fixed it with a missing bracket in [4]. If you wonder why it's currently collapsed by default then it's because there are other navboxes on the page. See collapse_state at Template:US county navigation box.
