Hi, Skitash, I am writing to you regarding my image of a modern piece in the pages with reference to the designer whose collection it is part of. You accused me of the caption of the WP:PROMO modification. I would kindly ask you to explain yourself better as I am not promoting anyone since there are no links to sites or shops but only a signature.

Content on Wikipedia should be neutral and avoid using brand names or logos as laid down in WP:PROMO and COM:ADVERT. Your picture clearly promotes a designer's business. Skitash (talk) 10:42, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not promoting any business at all. I just chose a good representation of the subject. If the issue is only with the logo, I will remove it or replace it with one that doesn't include any logos. Lord Ruffy98 (talk) 15:09, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Skitash Again: there is nothing promoting in the image: no logo or info about commercial links. So stop reverting my edit. I asked permission at the owner and the images are from an international festival. Lord Ruffy98 (talk) 22:33, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for making edits that I may not have been entitled to do. I don't edit often and I don't know if my total edits equal 500 but if you check this diff, I think you'll agree that they improve the article. Yours, 69.117.172.84 (talk) 21:59, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I note that you added "According to the New York Times ..." to the 2024 Hezbollah headquarters strike article. Please be aware that WP:INTEXT says that, "it is preferable not to clutter articles with information best left to the references". This "according to" phrasing is derived from news media methods, because journalists are required to give credit to earlier reports, and they can only do so inline. Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS, and one way that manifests is the reference system. Given the chance of edit conflicts, I am not going to remove all the "According tos" from the article right now. But going forward please refrain from using "According to ..." language. Thanks, Abductive (reasoning) 00:23, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I'll keep this in mind. Skitash (talk) 00:38, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
