TheParis Peace Accords, officially the Agreement on Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Viet Nam, was a peace agreement signed on January 27, 1973, to establish peace in Vietnam and end theVietnam War. The agreement was signed by the governments of theDemocratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam), theRepublic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), the United States, and theProvisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam (representing South Vietnamese communists). The Paris Peace Accords removed the remaining United States forces, and fighting between the three remaining powers temporarily stopped. The agreement's provisions were immediately and frequently broken by both North and South Vietnamese forces with no official response from the United States. Open fighting broke out in March 1973, and North Vietnamese offensives enlarged their territory by the end of the year. The war continued until thefall of Saigon to North Vietnamese forces in 1975.

Hey there @Yann. I saw that recently you requested my page for deletion. And I know why. It's because I violated Wikipedia commons policies right? I'm extremely sorry. When I signed into Wikipedia there weren't any links where it took me to Wikipedia commons guidelines. I'm more of aWikipedia editor than an WikipediaCommons uploader… I'm extremely sorry I violated Wikipedia commons policies and I didn't mean to. I request you to give me one last chance to redeem myself. I also saw that when I uploaded my first photo onSwerteBOOM! you sent me a message saying me to stop violating Wikipedia commons policies. I didn't notice them untill you requested my Wikipedia Userpage for deletion. The other account suspected as a sockpuppet is my previous account.

It and theSonderkommando photographs are among the small number of visual documents that show the operations of Auschwitz II–Birkenau, the Germanextermination camp inoccupied Poland. Originally titled "Resettlement of the Jews from Hungary" (Umsiedlung der Juden aus Ungarn), it shows a period when the Nazis accelerated their deportation of Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz. The images were taken by photographers from the camp'sErkennungsdienst ("identification service"). Among other things, the Erkennungsdienst was responsible for fingerprinting and taking photo IDs of prisoners who had not been selected for extermination. The identity of the photographers is uncertain, but it is thought to have been Bernhard Walter or Ernst Hoffmann, twoSS men who were director and deputy director of the Erkennungsdienst.

The Beatles were an Englishrock band formed inLiverpool in 1960. The core lineup of the band comprisedJohn Lennon,Paul McCartney,George Harrison, andRingo Starr.Widely regarded as the most influential band of all time, they were integral to the development of1960s counterculture and the recognition ofpopular music as an art form. Rooted inskiffle,beat, and 1950srock and roll, their sound incorporated elements ofclassical music andtraditional pop in innovative ways. The band also explored music styles ranging fromfolk andIndian music topsychedelia andhard rock.As pioneers in recording, songwriting, and artistic presentation, the Beatles revolutionized many aspects of the music industry and were often publicized as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements. This photograph shows the Beatles – from left to right, Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr – waving to a crowd of fans after arriving atJohn F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City on 7 February 1964, at the start of their first visit to the United States. Their visit marked the beginning of theBritish Invasion, a cultural phenomenon of the mid-1960s when rock and pop-music acts from the United Kingdom and other aspects of British culture became popular in the United States. The band's widespread popularity and the intense reception that greeted them was termed "Beatlemania". Photograph credit:United Press International; retouched byYann Forget Recently featured: |

Ford Strikers Riot is a 1941 photograph that shows an Americanstrikebreaker getting beaten byUnited Auto Workers (UAW) strikers who werepicketing at theFord Motor Company'sRouge Plant inDearborn, Michigan.Milton Brooks, a photographer forThe Detroit News, captured the image on April 3, 1941, and it won the inauguralPulitzer Prize for Photography in 1942. The photograph has been called a portrayal of the struggle in America between capital and labor. During the incident, a peaceful picketing of the Ford Motor Company was interrupted when a single man clashed with the UAW strikers. The man ignored the advice of theMichigan State Police and crossed the picket lines. Brooks, who was waiting with otherphotojournalists outside the Ford factory gates, took only one photograph and said: "I took the picture quickly, hid the camera ... ducked into the crowd ... a lot of people would have liked to wreck that picture."

Black Sunday was a severedust storm that occurred on April 14, 1935, as part of theDust Bowl, a period of severe dust storms in the Americanprairies in the 1930s. The storm first hit theOklahoma panhandle and northwesternOklahoma, then moved south intoTexas. The conditions were the most severe in the Oklahoma andTexas panhandles, but the storm's effects were also felt in surrounding areas. Drought, erosion, bare soil, and winds caused the dust to fly freely and at high speeds. It is estimated that 300,000 tons oftopsoil were displaced from the prairie area. Black Sunday was one of the worst dust storms in American history and caused immense economic and agricultural damage. This photograph shows the storm approachingStratford, Texas.

.jpg) | Dred Scott (c. 1799 – 1858) was anenslaved African American who, along with his wife,Harriet Robinson Scott, unsuccessfully sued for the freedom of themselves and their two daughters, Eliza and Lizzie, in the 1857 legal caseDred Scott v. Sandford. The Scotts claimed that they should be granted freedom because Dred had lived for four years in Illinois and theWisconsin Territory, where slavery was illegal, and laws in those jurisdictions said that slave holders gave up their rights to slaves if they stayed for an extended period. TheSupreme Court of the United States ruled against Scott in alandmark decision that held theConstitution did not extendAmerican citizenship to people of black African descent, and therefore they could not enjoy therights and privileges that the Constitution conferred upon American citizens. TheDred Scott decision is widely considered the worst in the Supreme Court's history, being widely denounced for its overtracism,judicial activism, poor legal reasoning, and crucial role inthe events that led to theAmerican Civil War four years later. The ruling was later superseded by the passage of theThirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which abolished slavery, in 1865, followed by theFourteenth Amendment, whose first sectionguaranteed birthright citizenship for "all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof", in 1868. This posthumous oil-on-canvas portrait of Scott was painted by Louis Schultze, after an 1857 photograph by John H. Fitzgibbon, and now hangs in theMissouri History Museum inSt. Louis.

Drosera capensis, commonly known as the Cape sundew, is a perennialrosette-formingcarnivorous plant in the familyDroseraceae. It isendemic to theWestern Cape andEastern Cape provinces of South Africa. As in allsundews, the leaves are covered in stalked,mucilage-secreting glands (or 'tentacles') that attract, trap, and digestarthropod prey. When prey is captured, the tentacles bend inward and the leaves curl around it, preventing escape and enhancing digestion by increasing the surface area of the leaf in contact with the prey. Thistime-lapse video shows aD. capensis leaf curling up around aMediterranean fruit fly over a period of approximately six hours. Video credit: Scott Schiller Recently featured: |

Please do not replace original images with badly edited images. You edited the image of Aldrin on the moon by extending the canvas and adding a black bar at the top. This is very clearly a manipulated image, that cuts off the top of the backpack (instead of it being out of frame) and adds a solid blackness (other than some rogue blueish pixels possibly meant to look like detail/stars or something but means it's purely added and made up details) at the top of the image which is obvious. There's nothing wrong with the original image and I'm very surprised to see such obvious manipulation from yourself.Canterbury Tailtalk20:35, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 | Enrico Fermi (29 September 1901 – 28 November 1954) was an Italian-American physicist who was awarded the 1938Nobel Prize in Physics. He created the world's firstnuclear reactor,Chicago Pile-1, and is one of 16 scientists who haveelements named after them. One of the few physicists to excel in boththeoretical andexperimental work, he made significant contributions toquantum theory,statistical mechanics, andnuclear andparticle physics. He helped formulate theFermi–Dirac statistics for particles that obeyWolfgang Pauli'sexclusion principle, called "fermions". His theory ofbeta decay correctly predicted that a particle he named the "neutrino" would be emitted along with anelectron, satisfying the law ofconservation of energy. He left Italy in 1938 to escape theItalian racial laws that affected his Jewish wifeLaura, and emigrated to the United States. He worked on theManhattan Project duringWorld War II, but later opposed development of thehydrogen bomb on moral and technical grounds. This photograph shows Fermi in the 1940s.
