Hi there, thanks for adding images to biographies. However, please don't use a fixed pixel width - if it's necessary to specify a size,upright scaling allows you to change the image width while still respecting user preferences.Nikkimaria (talk)14:02, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, I wasn't aware of that policy and it has been in place for years. I will try to accommodate that rule, but looking into past discussions on the matter, I have have to agree withUser:Johnbodhere. "...the MOS images pages have for so long been well adrift of what the community actually does, and discussions and changes here dominated by a handful of opinionated policy talk specialists, that nobody pays much attention to what the pages say any more. It can't convincingly be claimed that the MOS represents 'community consensus' on a number of points." Admittedly that discussion isn't about the upright/width issue, but I still think it holds true. Not trying to argue the merits of this policy, but passive policy (i.e. what editors do without discussion or referring to the MOS) vs. the wording of the MOS are leagues apart. Thanks. —Brian Halvorsen (talk)00:15, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To drive that point home, thefirst template I tried to add an upright value to did not even have the option. —Brian Halvorsen (talk)00:39, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh dear, we seem to have a problem. There are two Red McCarthy' from Canada who were known for their skating in the early half of the 1900s. There seems to be a mix-up of the two. The speed skater seems to have been born earlier than the gentelman in this article. In fact, Mirl McCarthy may not have been a barrel jumper or a speed skater. Don't know where this can be checked or who can verify this piece of Canadian sports history.^[1]CheckersBoard (talk)00:00, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

you seem to be correct as he would have to be around 13 years old at the time of this image. --Brian Halvorsen (talk)02:53, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The image you added to the Pancho Segura article for 1942 is clearly wrong, it is obviously Bill Talbert. Apparently the newspaper source made a mistake.Tennisedu (talk)02:47, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

From way back in 2011,this edit, among others of yours, used a cite web with no URL, which is still being flagged in red.Dicklyon (talk)18:52, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

At the GA review forCharlie Gehringer, the reviewer (User:Ganesha811) raised a question as to whetherFile:Charlie Gehringer 1935.jpg (an image you uploaded in 2023 from an auction site) is truly in the public domain. In particular, Ganesha811 wrote:

I would be surprised if an Associated Press wire photo had been published without a copyright. The auction site appears to no longer exist. Can you demonstrate that this is a public domain image?

Could you please respond to this inquiry?Cbl62 (talk)16:07, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
