The Paris 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 the Vietnam War. The agreement was signed by the governments of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam), the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), the United States, and the Provisional 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 the fall of Saigon to North Vietnamese forces in 1975. This photograph shows William P. Rogers, United States Secretary of State, signing the accords in Paris. Photograph credit: Robert Knudsen; restored by Yann Forget

Hi, in my country Wikipedia commons is blocked and we can't access or edit it. This is the reason I'm writing you here that sock of Gori Nadu is nominating files of Pakistani singers, actors and generals again and again by using ID PhaiTime (now indef blocked by User:Ymblanter) and which resembles mine. The reason on the the above mentioned file he gave that "all Muslims are pedophiles and rapists" (If you read carefully). In past you yourself kept it so I'm just requesting to look into it as I can't defend it on commons. Regards Paytime (talk) 12:35, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
- Ah yes, right. I overlooked that. I removed that, and have hidden it. Yann (talk) 17:02, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you. Can you please remove the deletion tag since the subject of the photograph is deceased for the last 42 years and the photo is more than 50 years old. Last 2 decisions were "kept". Moreover, same is the case with File:Pakistani superstar Waheed Murad 1962.jpg and you found no valid reason for deletion in 2021.

Hey, Yann, I was looking at this, and... File:Max Desfor - Flight of Refugees Across Wrecked Bridge in Korea.jpg is labelled as both a Original copy in the filename and as retouched in the file documentation. Any idea what's up with that? Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 13:36, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Adam, Yes, it is obviously not an original. Since it is used on a lot of pages, is it worth renaming it? Yann (talk) 18:28, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
- I'd say yes, just to avoid misleading. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 20:32, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

editHey 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 a Wikipedia editor than an Wikipedia Commons 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 on SwerteBOOM! 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. I logged out of it because I wasn't interested with it's name. I'm so sorry and I apologize from all of you… I won't make that mistake again Xensheroizex (talk) 16:30, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

The The Mocking of Christ is a small 13th-century panel painting by the Italian artist Cimabue, in tempera on a poplar panel. It depicts the mocking of Jesus and is one of three panels known from Cimabue's Diptych of Devotion. It was discovered in the kitchen of an elderly woman in northern France. In October 2019 it sold at auction for €24 million, a record for an artwork predating the 16th century. It is believed to be the first work by Cimabue to have been auctioned. Following an export ban, it was acquired by the Louvre in 2023. Photograph. credit: Cimabue/Louvre Museum |

Pepper No. 30 is a black and white photograph and is one of the best-known photographs taken by Edward Weston, taken in August 1930. It depicts a solitary green pepper in rich black-and-white tones, with strong illumination from above. Weston photographed Pepper No. 30 using his Ansco 8×10 Commercial View camera with a Zeiss 21 cm lens. The smallest aperture on this lens is f/36.[citation needed] According to Weston's grandson Kim, it was shot at an aperture of f/240 with an exposure time of four to six hours.

The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. The core lineup of the band comprised John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Widely regarded as the most influential band of all time, they were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and the recognition of popular music as an art form. Rooted in skiffle, beat, and 1950s rock and roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in innovative ways. The band also explored music styles ranging from folk and Indian music to psychedelia and hard 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 at John 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 the British 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 by Yann Forget

Jorge Amado was a Brazilian writer of the modernist school. He remains the best-known of modern Brazilian writers, with his work having been translated into some 49 languages and popularized in film, including Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands in 1976, and having been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature 7 times. His work reflects the image of a Mestiço Brazil and is marked by religious syncretism. He depicted a cheerful and optimistic country that was beset, at the same time, with deep social and economic differences. Photograph. credit: Bernard Gotfryd; restored by Yann Forget

Eero Saarinen (1910–1961) was a Finnish-American architect and industrial designer.

Kennedy International Airport; the Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center in New York City; and the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. He was the son of Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen. This photograph of Saarinen smoking a pipe was taken by the Hungarian-American photographer Balthazar Korab in 1955 or 1956. Photograph credit: Balthazar Korab; restored by Yann Forget and Bammesk
