I hope our disagreement on ] is settled. Meanwhile, as a sign of appreciation of your contributions in general (you're a very active admin!), I found some free licensed images to illustrate your articles. .
Hello GS, I noticed removing team nicknames from multiple articles. Many articles contain them and I've not seen any other editors removing them. I would say their use should be limited, perhaps to avoid repetition where it might otherwise 'jar', but has there been any discussion about this previously? Thanks, happy new year. ] (]) 14:00, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Nice to meet you, have some images

I hope our disagreement on Talk:Carol and Eric Hafner is settled. Meanwhile, as a sign of appreciation of your contributions in general (you're a very active admin!), I found some free licensed images to illustrate your articles. I do that occasionally.

Hope you like. --GRuban (talk) 18:56, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the images - but no, it's not settled. GiantSnowman 19:02, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
OK, let me see what you said there and figure out the next steps. I think I found an image of Ratking (group) - not great, but better than nothing, about as good as the image currently on Wiki (rapper). This is as much as anything a reminder to myself to actually upload it while doing the former! --GRuban (talk) 20:35, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Not very good depictions, I'm afraid. I'd still put in one or two of them into the article, on the grounds that they're still better than nothing, but if you don't agree, I won't insist on it. --GRuban (talk) 00:29, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
