FYI

{{Prod2}} exists. Not canvassing for support but thought you might like to know the option exists. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:20, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I did not know that, thank you for the heads up. As you can see from the history I gave the article a good going over, but stopped short of PROD. I did consider it and on balance I think you are right. 10mmsocket (talk) 21:47, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to get wider input at AfD if you think it's worth it. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:50, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Let the PROD run its course and take to AfD if removed. 10mmsocket (talk) 21:51, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:58, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Shane Lowry new profile picture

Hello,

Apologies for the incorrect uploading of a new picture for the Irish golfer Shane Lowry. I am from Shane’s team and we’re wanting to update his very old image.

The photo was taken at the recent PGA Tour official headshot session, by Getty Images, and they have given Shane permission to use this image how he sees fit. Shane also has a long-time licensing agreement with Getty to use any of the images they take which he is included in.

what steps do I need to take to get this new headshot as his new permanent wiki picture?

thanks! ICANTSPECK (talk) 09:15, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at the rules on Commons. Essentially you'll have to provide that permission by email to the site's administrators. You might want to check the permission given though - by uploading to Commons an image is given unlimited rights for anyone to use for any purpose, including commercial use and also have the right to modify it. It becomes a public domain / licence free image (albeit one that will need attribution whenever used or modified) Is that what Getty are actually saying? 10mmsocket (talk) 09:19, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like this is what you need - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:FAQ#I_am_not_the_author,_but_I_have_permission 10mmsocket (talk) 09:20, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wrongly justified vandalism?

You deliberately chose to undo my anti-vandalism edit and then claim that lack of references in the article 'has been tagged for such a long time and nobody has sought to provide references' when you can scroll through the edit history and see that I was in the process of adding sources? If you really want to be useful, you could help me. Edwint512 (talk) 21:29, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What I undid was not vandalism. 10mmsocket (talk) 22:36, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There were referenced sources in that article which got deleted under the excuse that there was no references. I've seen you going around vandalising other heritage railway's articles. Additionally when listing rolling stock of heritage railways it is impossible to gain a comprehensive source of all rolling stock as many items are extremely obscure in nature, does this mean they do not belong on Wikipedia?
