Welcome

Real Club de la Puerta de Hierro

Hello again Raphael,

This time I'm going to work on a stub on the Spanish Misplaced Pages, to then translate it into the English one, and it would help if you could vectroize this coat of arms: https://www.rcphierro.com or here: http://www.fedgolfmadrid.com/upload/fotos/original/logo_golf_puerta_de_hierro.jpg

Comillas Pontificial University

Hello again,

Continuing with my "improving Spanish universities project", it would be very kind if you could vectorise the Comillas Pontifical University coat of arms as shown in the .en wiki article.

Many thanks, --CreiterAdam45z (talk) 20:14, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello,  Done --RaphaelQS (talk) 06:13, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

University of Salamanca

Hi Raphael!

I'm going to be working on the article University of Salamanca, and would appreciate if you could vectorise the existing coat of arms into .svg as per usual.

Thank you! --CreiterAdam45z (talk) 11:33, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Hey  Done --RaphaelQS (talk) 23:18, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Great as usual! --CreiterAdam45z (talk) 20:14, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

UEA

Sorry to bother you again but any chance of a vector of the University of East Anglia shield? What software are you using out of interest? Many thanks for your sterling work! Adalta1884 (talk) 08:38, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm using Inkscape a free and open-source software. I just uploaded the full coat of arms of the University of East Anglia. I will vectorize the shield later. --RaphaelQS (talk) 09:02, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Seaford College

Was wondering if it also might be possible to vectorise the Seaford College logo. If not then not to worry :) Kind regards, Adalta1884 (talk) 03:43, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

 Done --RaphaelQS (talk) 04:21, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Ardingly College

Thanks for your work on the Ardingly College shield and coat of arms, they look great! Just a small detail, would it be possible to add, what look to me like 3 mounds of earth, below the cross, in keeping with the original? If it's too late to make that addition then not to worry. Your work is highly appreciated. Kind regards Adalta1884 (talk) 03:40, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

 Done --RaphaelQS (talk) 04:20, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for this. Just a minor additional detail is that originally the cross extended to the boundary of the red box containing the feather. Would it be possible to extend the top part of the cross to here? Many Thanks for your excellent contributions! Adalta1884 (talk) 12:39, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

 Done let me know if you need anything else. --RaphaelQS (talk) 19:12, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Ardingly College correction

Hi, It has come to my attention that you have uploaded a very accurate svg version of the Ardingly College coat of arms. Nevertheless, the crest is still missing the heraldic knight. Could you, by any chance help me by seeing if we can do anything about it?

Here is the official crest: File:Coat of arms of Ardingly College on college window.jpg

Warmest regards. --WSussexTim (talk) 19:34, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello,  Done. --RaphaelQS (talk) 20:39, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks a million! looking great! --WSussexTim (talk) 06:25, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi RaphaelQS!

It seems like this coat of arms was rightfully deleted from Commons due to it being a non-free image. Nonetheless, I would appreciate if you could upload it again but this time as a non-free image to Misplaced Pages.

Many thanks, --BurgeesHill12 (talk) 15:36, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Real Sociedad de Tenis de La Magdalena

Good afternoon,

It would be of huge help if you could transform this club seal File:Escudo de la Real Sociedad de Tenis de La Magdalena (Santander).png into inkscape vector svg. If you can, I would be very grateful. I shall be using it in my newly written article Real Sociedad de Tenis de La Magdalena. Thank you --Cantabrucu (talk) 15:17, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello,  Done --RaphaelQS (talk) 15:40, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

INSA logo

Hi RaphaelQS! I saw that you were the initial uploader of the INSA logo (on page Institut national des sciences appliquées de Lyon). The logo changed in 2014 , but I can't upload it because my account is unconfirmed. If you have a few minute, would you mind doing it? Thanks. Deelight (talk) 11:52, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi there

I was wondering whether you could do me a favor and add "and age" to these protected pages: 4Chan, Apple, Gamefreak, KFC, Nintendo, PlayStation Home, Taco bell, WikiWikiWeb, Yahoo! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FB90:1807:3A59:0:56:646C:FE01 (talk) 03:46, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Columbia logo

I'm sorry but is there a reason that you replaced the colored Columbia GS logo for a colorless one? I don't really see the need for this. The actual one is colored (as can be seen on the Columbia University campus). IcarusLivesX (talk) 03:43, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Cheadle Hulme School logo and image change

Hi - you have recently changed the logo image for the Cheadle Hulme School page and have also removed an image of the front of the School which existed on that page.

Firstly, the logo you have replaced is the incorrect School logo. No version of the logo should ever exist without the words "Cheadle Hulme School" underneath the crest; those words are part of the logo, as per the School's brand guidelines - Cheadle Hulme School Brand Manual.

Please could you re-instate the former logo which was already on the page?

Please could you also explain the reason for removing the image of the front of the School? This image is a good representation of what the School looks like and therefore provides those who don't know the School with an impression of it. That photo was uploaded by an editor as per the page's Talk Page.Timhudsonchs (talk) 08:00, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Hello!

1) It is the coat of arms, not the logo. The logo, as you just say, is the coat of arms with "Cheadle Hulme School" underneath. We use the coat of arms in the "image" field of the infobox, as you can see in other articles: Eton College, Westminster School etc.

2) I don't have a strong opinion about having a picture of the school in the infobox. Most of the other articles about schools don't have it so I remove it for consistency. If you think it is an improvement for this article, you can put it back. --RaphaelQS (talk) 08:25, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi - I understand your perspective on what you are calling the coat of arms but this does not exist anywhere in the School with the words Cheadle Hulme School underneath - as per that Branding document. I work in the Communications department at the School and so it is up to me to make sure that everything is used consistently across all our media, which is why we need to make sure that the correct image is used. Please could you replace the original image as you have used an incorrect one. Regarding the image of the front of the School, I am happy to put it back but as I am representing the School, I don't want to appear to be raising a Conflict of Interest issueTimhudsonchs (talk) 08:32, 14 June 2016 (UTC).

I also understand your perspective, but the logo of the school is composed of a coat of arms with the text "Cheadle Hulme School" underneath. You don't need to officially call it a coat of arms it is de facto a coat of arms because it is a unique heraldic design. I don't think it is a good idea to break consensus about the infobox and putting a logo in the "image" field. --RaphaelQS (talk) 08:57, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

I don't think I'm making myself clear. The School's crest, in its complete form, includes the words Cheadle Hulme School underneath, as per the School's Brand Guidelines. The image you have uploaded is therefore an altered image ie. it has been cropped but shouldn't be. This can be counted as a copyright violation. I can request for this to be a file up for discussion but without going to those lengths wonder if you could please re-upload the un-cropped version then that would be the correct and accurate image to use. Thanks. Timhudsonchs (talk) 15:19, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

You are perfectly right. It was a mistake, I can't just use the logo of the school for extracting the coat of arms, it is a derivative work that doesn't fall under fair use and therefore a copyright violation. I will delete this image and try to trace the coat of arms myself. Thank you for raising the issue and helping improve the article. --RaphaelQS (talk) 16:10, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Update: The problematic file is now deleted. I just draw my own rendition of the coat of arms of the school for the infobox. If you have any comments or suggestions please let me know. --RaphaelQS (talk) 17:36, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi again - I see your replacement now but I'm afraid that I will have to note this as unencyclopaedic. What you have uploaded is an artist's impression of the School's crest and, as such, does not offer factual or historical accuracy to the page. Users could view this and think that it is the School's actual crest which, in fact, it isn't. Again, I will have to note this as a file for discussion/deletion due to it's unencyclopaedic nature unless you are able to re-upload the correct file again. Thanks.Timhudsonchs (talk) 07:59, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Hello again, it is the consensus on the project that we use our own renditions of the coats of arms. For example, for the article about Eton College in Berkshire, the coat of arms is not the official rendition, see: and the official rendition. You can also see the coats of arms in the infoboxes of the articles about the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford. It is still encyclopedic because coats of arms are by nature subject to the interpretation of the artist. --RaphaelQS (talk) 08:33, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

If this is the case then it would be better if the 'coat of arms' was more complete. You have omitted the two 'feathered wings' from either side of it.Timhudsonchs (talk) 08:41, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

UPDATE: Please could you refer me to the discussion you refer to regarding the consensus about coats of arms on school pages? I have looked on the Projects page but can't see this mentioned. Timhudsonchs (talk) 08:57, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Done. Again if you have any comments or suggestions please let me know. --RaphaelQS (talk) 08:58, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi - I still think that this is not an accurate representation of the School's crest. The others you point out to me are much more accurate. This one does not look enough like the School's crest. Why is it not possible to simply stick to putting the original file back up, as previous? Where is the discussion regarding this?Timhudsonchs (talk) 09:02, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

We can't put the official rendition of the coat of arms in the infobox because that requires to extract it from the logo and thus making a derivative work of copyrighted material. For the coat of arms in the infobox of article about school, I don't think there is a formal discussion about the use of artist renditions. This is a consensus de facto because this is how we have done things in the project for more than ten years. Please remember that all consensus are subject to change if it is for the better. Nothing is written in stone. If you think it is better for the project to stop accepting our own renditions of the coats of arms you can still open a discussion in the project talk page. You can also open a discussion in the article talk page if you think it is better for this specific article not to follow the consensus about coat of arms in the infobox. I think your argument about accurate representation of the official coat of arms can be heard even if I think that the coat of arms I have traced is pretty accurate. We can open this debate to more feedbacks if you wish. --RaphaelQS (talk) 09:31, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Marlborough College arms

When I looked at your first attempt the image was not coloured. I have no problem with the coloured version. Dabbler (talk) 11:05, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Hello. Perfect! --RaphaelQS (talk) 11:08, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Washington Post logo

Hi,

Personally I agree with you, and I think the logos should be added back to the articles, but the consensus on the template page is that they should be gone. Do you have any good reasons why they should stay?

Marquis de Faux (talk) 19:20, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

SVG of Against Malaria Foundation.png

Thanks so much for uploading an SVG version of that image. However, I notice you didn't indicate the replacement image in either the di template nor the notification. While it was easy to figure out what had happened in this case, that's not always true. I would like to request that, in the future you indicate the replacement image when a file is replaced.

Second, I notice that your fair use rationale does not actually indicate a URL source of the new file. It just vaguely references the organization. I find that this sort of thing can make things difficult for reviewers and such in the future. Could you please indicate the file source you used (even if it wasn't originally an SVG)? If you created it yourself, please indicate what file you used as a base.

I'm not any sort of admin or anything, but I do spend a lot of time with images on Wikimedia. And I think both of these make things easier and take only a little bit of extra time. (Especially if you use Twinkle) — trlkly 03:46, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for saying that to me, I try to do my best. I just put URL of the PDF from which the vector logo was extracted in the Non-free media data box. --RaphaelQS (talk) 13:54, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

File sources

RaphaelQS, you need to start adding a url to the files you upload or I will mark them for deletion for no source. I noticed it with the University of Richmond seal, and I noticed you didn't do it for another one. When I look through your uploads, I see it is a common thing of yours to not include them. I would hate for all of the files you uploaded to be deleted simply because you didn't add a source. Corkythehornetfan (ping me) 02:26, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Please also learn the difference between a non-free image and a public domain image. This file is clearly in the public domain. Corkythehornetfan (ping me) 02:33, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello, most of the time the source is simply the organization (college, university...). --RaphaelQS (talk) 02:44, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

I realize that, but an exact link to the source (usually a brand guide) helps verify it... Corkythehornetfan (ping me) 02:46, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Oh, I see, thanks! --RaphaelQS (talk) 02:47, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Sir Charles Chaplin

Hi Raphael. Is there a good reason you moved Chaplin's "Sir" from "honorific_prefix" into his name? Strictly speaking a "Sir" is a style to which knights are entitled, like the more lowly "Mr" for ordinary folk. Regards, Martin of Sheffield (talk) 12:26, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello. This is simply style, "honorific_prefix" is for things like "The Right Honourable", and "Sir" is part of the "name" field. For example: Ninian Stephen --RaphaelQS (talk) 12:35, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi, as a practical issue I can see the point. Not sure I fully agree, but it's not worth an argument. Thanks for the response. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 12:54, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Non-free vs. Public domain images

RaphaelQS, please learn the difference between a WP:Non-free image and a WP:Public domain image. The example would be the University of Pittsburgh wordmark that you recently uploaded. Something simple as text is in the Public Domain and therefore not a Non-free image with a copyright. I know you also probably hated when I tagged the file with 'no source', but until you can get thru to your head that every. single. upload. needs a source, I will continue to tag the files. Resulting in not doing so and continuing to upload without a source could get you blocked. Also, please optimize your files by removing unnecessaru coding. This saves space and therefore doesn't make the images too big (KBs or MBs, etc.). Thanks, Corkythehornetfan (ping me) 04:23, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

"I know you also probably hated when I tagged the file" don't worry about that, I don't mind at all. I always forget about putting the source, when you flag a file this reminds me to do it so it's cool. --RaphaelQS (talk) 06:11, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

WP:USERG

Hi. Regarding your revert of my removal of the uncited date of birth given for Patty Jenkins in that article, per WP:USERG, websites w/ user-generated info like IMDb are not considered reliable under WP:USERG.

Also, such information must be accompanied by inline citations of reliable sources, per WP:V, WP:CS, et al. Having accumulated nearly 9,000 edits since 2013, I assume you're aware of this by now. In any event, please do not add material to articles without citations. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 13:31, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't know that IMDb was user-generated. --RaphaelQS (talk) 13:41, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

No worries. However, I should point out that the new source you added to the article supports only the 1971 birth year, and not the birth month nor birth date. When you add a source, please make sure it supports all the information you add or re-add to an article. Thanks again. Nightscream (talk) 16:05, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Updating Council on Foreign Relations's Board of Directors

Hello RaphaelQS,

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has recently made changes to its Board of Directors.

Would you be available/willing to update our Misplaced Pages page for us? I work at CFR and noticed you recently made edits to our page (thank you). I'm happy to make the edits myself, but I'd like to follow proper protocol by going through a third-party Wikipedian.

Thank you!

question re: NAACP logo

First off, thanks for replacing that logo with an SVG. I do have a source question, though. Did you find a vector version of the logo, or did you just manually recreate the original JPG logo as an SVG? I do not see a vector logo on the URL you list as the source.

It is a a good SVG that matches the JPG, so I think it's a good image. But knowing the exact source for files used under Fair Use is considered quite important on Misplaced Pages. So I'm just checking.

I will be happy to edit the source based on what you tell me here, if you do not want to bother with it. But I'd like to know.

Thanks again! — trlkly 20:11, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

NOTVANDALISM

The edit that you just reverted again at Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections is not vandalism. It was added in this edit by Darknipples. As this article is under discretionary sanctions editing restrictions, I recommend that you self-revert.- MrX 15:30, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Dispute resolution

Dear RaphaelQS,

Given the lack of consensus on the University of Paris and Sorbonne University talk page, I have request a dispute resolution regarding these pages.

You should also use the search button on the top right to learn more about taking ownership as you've done with many files. You're not 12 (I guess). I know the difference between all of them and have read them all. You can't seem to accept other people's work or edits, which shows how ignorant you really are. Corky 20:11, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

So you DO understand the difference between a raster and a vector image! That's awesome so now stop altering colors of the vector file yourself because you found a raster version with different colors somewhere. Thanks, that'd be great. --RaphaelQS (talk) 20:20, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

If Harvard wanted to keep using gold, they'd have it on their website.... but they don't. Plain and simple. Corky 20:46, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Your speculation isn't a source so you don't get to alter the colors of the vector image. --RaphaelQS (talk) 20:49, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Civility, and File sources

Please, there is no need to bicker when someone brings something up to you, just accept it, you dont need to say anything but, okay, and move on. Also, Files you upload are constantly being brought to Files for Discussion due to your lack of supplying sources. Forgetting (Emphasis added) on most of the files you've uploaded can be considered disruptive, so for the sake of everyone and the project, please double check your work before hitting upload, or use the guided uploading process.

Help with MEMRI?

Hello, RaphaelQS.

I'm representing the Middle East Media Research Institute on Misplaced Pages and need help making updates since I know I'm not supposed to edit the article myself.

I see from the article's edit history that you have made constructive changes to the article. Would you be willing to take a look at a recent proposed edit that I've posted on the Talk page? The first thread links to new suggestions for the "Reception" section. There has not been any feedback yet, and I would like to get your input on whether the draft is an improvement over the current article.

Many thanks. R at MEMRI (talk) 18:09, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

University of Oslo seal update request

Hi. I see you were the one who added the seal for the University of Oslo page in 2016. Would you be able to update the seal to the official one which is the same seal with a red background and white text?

According to the University's graphic design guidelines the seal should always be with a red main colour and white text when in colour: http://www.uio.no/om/designmanual/grunnelementer/segl/segl-retningslinjer/

The seal should never have a white main colour and black text. That's not the official seal and is never used by the university.

Why don't we include age for colleges and universities?

Why don't we include the age for colleges and universities? I'm not challenging the assertion that we don't do it but asking why we don't do it. We almost always include the founding date in the infobox and article so why not use the age template, too? ElKevbo (talk) 14:38, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

I'd appreciate an answer to this question. Thanks! ElKevbo (talk) 14:08, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Not giving me a credit

Hello, for some reason I don`t know you keep copying my work and stealing my credit. I`ve created for example File:Israel Security Agency.svg and File:Aman-logo.svg. You uploaded it without mentioning who created this. In addition you keep reverting my work by removing symbol I created for IDF and replace it with your version. Actually, the last version you uploaded is stolen from another file I made. Please stop behaving like this. Tal (Ronaldinho The king) 21:28, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I did not know you created the official logos of the organizations in question. That doesn't seem plausible actually. Also, stop using the term "stolen" Wikimedia is a non-profit organization and all the medias that aren't the official logos of organizations should be under free and open license OR REMOVED FROM THE SERVERS. --RaphaelQS (talk) 07:25, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi, of course I didn`t created the official logos. I created a good quality version of them and all I ask for is a proper credit. Tal (Ronaldinho The king) 10:24, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Logos

I saw your edit-warring to restore the redundant nonfree newspaper logo. What is the merit of having this twice? You claimed in your edit summary there was a consensus to do this; that sounds unlikely to me, but please begin by pointing me to this consensus you claim. --MarchOrDie (talk) 16:49, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Can you reply to this, please? If I see you continuing to edit without responding I will take it you have lost interest and will re-remove the surplus nonfree image. --MarchOrDie (talk) 18:37, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

I don't understand what you want me to say. Look at other newspaper articles by yourself and you will see that most of them have the logo in the corresponding field of the infobox. It is a consensus i.e. a vast number of members of the project who do the same things for many years. --RaphaelQS (talk) 18:44, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

I would like you to answer two questions. I'll bold them so you don't miss them again.

1. What is the benefit to the reader of carrying two different versions of the logo?

2. Where was this agreed?

I understand you're not now claiming there was a consensus in a discussion, just some sort of tacit agreement not to remove them? I'll add a third question:

3. How does this claimed tacit practice fit with our policy on nonfree material? --MarchOrDie (talk) 19:01, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

The logo is used to identify the newspaper, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the newspaper, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the newspaper, and illustrate the newspaper's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey. --RaphaelQS (talk) 19:06, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Ok, but what is the benefit to the reader of seeing the logo twice, one on the front page image, and then again in the logo field? It has to be a strong benefit to pass NFCC and I am not seeing it. --MarchOrDie (talk) 19:47, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

It's not the official logo on the other image.--RaphaelQS (talk) 19:49, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

So you think The Independent didn't use its own logo on its print edition when it had one? Huh. Before we get too surreal here, take a look at Template talk:Infobox newspaper#Logos and page spreads. There's a discussion there that shows there is no consensus for this duplication of fair use images. I think at this point the onus is on you to show there is a need for it. Failing that, I think they have to go. --MarchOrDie (talk) 19:55, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

I would agree that the discussion you linked was relevant if the logo was the same in the image. It's not. --RaphaelQS (talk) 20:11, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Fair enough, we disagree. Let's see what others think.

Sherborne School Logo

@RaphaelQS:

Thank you for taking in an interest in this article. However I take issue with you about the colour of the seal. The colour as I have it is the colour used by the school (please see every use of it by the school online) and the colour of what is known as 'The Sherborne Penny'. The arms of Edward VI are used by the school because the school was founded by Edward VI; to th ebest of my knowledge the school's charter acknowledges the school's right to use them (vide Gourlay's history). You also acknowledge that the school uses the arms but then deny the opportnity to show them; I am struggling to follow your reasoning but am open to your explanation. fuseemusee (talk) 11:14, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

@RaphaelQS:

I see now that you created the original seal artwork so perhaps feel protective of it. Would a satisfactory compromise be if a) you coloured it to reflect how the school uses it and b) that I then showed the arms seperately captioned as 'Arms of Edward VI'? fuseemusee (talk) 12:02, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I agree with everything, you obviously know far more about this school than I do, but please use the vector graphics format (SVG): File:Coat_of_Arms_of_England_(1509-1554).svg and File:Dorset_sherbone_school_seal.svg. If you don't know how to update the colors of the seal on the SVG file you can ask here Misplaced Pages:Graphics Lab/Image workshops clicking on "new request" under "Illustration workshop". Have a good day! --RaphaelQS (talk) 09:46, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi RaphaelQS, thank you for your kind and encouraging reply. I had given up on Misplaced Pages but thought I would check back to see what you and others have said and find a true spirit of collaboration has suddenly asserted itself! So I will tentatively try to move forward again, adding noteworthy historical details to this article from a neutral POV. I am not an expert on Sherborne School and have no connection with it, but having read a book on it recently was fascinated by its 1300 year history. I have since ordered a couple more books on the Saxon saint who founded it and Wildman's history of the school. You are quite right about using the SVG format, however I have run into problems opening both files in Illustrator, Inkscape and other editors, all of which seem to say they are not true SVG files. Anyhow, I found a workaround and created an SVG file of the recoloured seal and arms and will upload it shortly so let me know what you think. I see from your profile that you have done great work in providing high quality logos for institutions so greatly value your opinion and experience. It is good to be collaborating with you.

Inquiry from a Public Relations Representative Assessing Kite Pharma Misplaced Pages Entry

Hi RaphaelQS,

My name is Vivian and I am a Public Relations professional at GCI Health, a healthcare communications agency. I'm reaching out on behalf of our clients at Kite Pharma to potentially update outdated information found on the Kite Pharma Misplaced Pages page.

Given your previous efforts editing the page and similar company pages, I wanted to see if you would be interested in reviewing the page as it currently stands. To further disclose my position, I'm aware that per Misplaced Pages’s guidelines neither the company nor the company’s representatives can make direct edits to Misplaced Pages pages. Respecting these rules, our priority is ensuring that the Wiki has the most up-to-date information – I'm reaching out in the hopes you may be able to assess the current state of the page against publicly available information to make accurate and appropriate updates.

Namely, the page lists Arie Belldegrun as CEO which is no longer up-to-date information. You'll find that outlets including STAT News reported that the new CEO will be Christi Shaw. Because the use of press releases as a source is not allowed, please let me know how you would best verify a business announcement otherwise.

The page also uses the incorrect version of the Kite Pharma logo. Would you as an editor consider replacing it with the correct logo available on the Kite Pharma website?

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

Best, Vtamgcih (talk) 22:22, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi there RaphaelQS, you are currently in violation of WP:3RR at Quillette. I suggest you should self-revert immediately. In addition, please do not WP:SHOUT Simonm223 (talk) 12:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi Simonm223 I suggest you stop pushing biased bullshit and take a look at the talk page of this article where the issue was being addressed before you and your fucking clique came out of nowhere to revert to the biased bullshit. In addition, stop reverting. Have a good day. --RaphaelQS (talk) 12:44, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Your recent contributions appear to show that you are engaged in edit warring; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not override another editor's contributions. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly..

House Atreides

Hey there, I just reverted your revert but thought I should come here to avoid any back-and-forth conflict. I should explain that I am the biggest Dune fan/nerd and have made significant edits to pretty much all Dune-related articles since 2006. As a matter of fact I've probably made more edits to House Atreides than any other editor in recent years. During that same time I've been trying to improve the character articles with citations asserting notability, but it is difficult to find sources (at least online) that actually discuss the characters in a meaningful way. Even the film/miniseries reviews are limited. I actually got a copy of the Touponce book but haven't had a chance to implement it. In any case, the House Atreides article has gone virtually unsourced for years, and truly in its current form it is not worthy of a standalone article. When we have the Dune (franchise) article, articles or robust list entries for every Atreides character, and articles for every novel, there really is no need for a collective article like this one. I went through it and made sure the important plot info and links related to the Atreides were covered (at least in Frank Herbert's work) in the redirect destination before redirecting it. "House" or family articles have a rough history; all of the A Song of Ice and Fire family articles were in similar shape and redirected years ago, and I don't know of any others still in existence. In any case, I obviously agree that the Atreides are notable, but knowing the limited sources out there I don't think this particular article can be adequately improved. We're better off focusing on the character articles, which are in constant danger of deletion LOL. I'm sure the new film will generate a lot more discussion of the novels and characters so that should help. Thanks!— TAnthony 16:02, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Several sources

I agree completely that 'several sources' is classic weasel wording, and have applied that tag myself for exactly that reason, but typically because there is just one or even no citations whatever. But the issue here is surely just an injudicious/lazy choice of words, since three citations are supplied. I guess you may be right in this case, though, given the high profile of the article - it needs to be as good as it can be. Hopefully whoever contributed that text will come back and edit it. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:31, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Puerta de Hierro logo

RaphaelQS,

Hope everything is well in the midst of this mayhem.

I have just vectorised the Real Club de la Puerta de Hierro crest, as per was suggested in this talk page in 2017. The earlier version needed a bit of work. However, I find it hard as an amateur to correct a small detail. Within the shield, the letters CPH are interspersed, but some parts of a letter go over another etc (something I haven't quite achieved in the last version of the file ). It should be as depicted here rather than here where the fact that it is coloured in black and white has made it appear like there is a space between when the letters coincide. This has obviously affected my bitmap trace.

Could you perhaps help me out with this small detail? If this issue needs further clarifying don't hesitate to ask!

Thank you so much!--Cantabrucu (talk) 14:02, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
