Raelians in images

[edit]

Hello. Those are protestors at an event organized by Raelains, wearing Raelian symbols, and showing signs directing people to a Raelian website. The Raelian categories are entirely appropriate. Please do not remove them. World's Lamest Critic (talk) 16:13, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is no source showing that these events were organized by Raelains. The cats have been contested. Either discuss i ton the talk page so editors can reach consensus or leave it alone. Meters (talk) 23:49, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There is no sources for the other categories either. This isn't Wikipedia. You know that the categories are correct, why are you disputing them? World's Lamest Critic (talk) 13:15, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, do not remove source information. Jcb (talk) 22:04, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Did you even read the description you were restoring? If the attribution to the original commons file is not sufficient for a source, that's fine. Add the social media source, but don't restore that useless promotional political puffery to the description. Meters (talk) 22:14, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain why you think that promotional political blurb has any reason to be included in the description of that file. I have no problem with including the source if the attribution to the original commons file is not sufficient, but don't restore that useless bit of puffery that was copied form the social media source.

I do not need to explain that. You erased the source information, twice. Maybe by mistake, but if you do such a thing your edit will be reverted, even if a part of the edit may be or may not be genuine. You are responsible for checking the result of your edit.

Yes I missed that I had accidentally removed the source along with the useless description. No real harm done since the image is a cropped derivation from another image which lists the source, but I did not intend to do that. You restored a bit of inappropriate political puffery as a file description, twice, both times without an edit summary explaining why, and both times treating my edit as vandalism. Either you did not read the content you were restoring and also did not bother to read my edit summaries, or it is more important to you to undo someone's edit and warn them than it is to fix the file. A reasonable editor would simply have restored the missing source, not also restored the garbage. I'm here to improve the encyclopedia. If you're here to get to warn people, you should rethink things.
And I consider it completely inappropriate for you to have deleted my message from you talk page and copied it here without any indication that that was what you had done. Don't bother responding. I'm not interested in continuing this. Meters (talk) 22:45, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
