LaMia 2933
G'day from Oz; it's not necessarily ungrammatical to say that "Flight XXX" was an aircraft, although it may be a bit early in this case. The missing Boeing 777 is now known as MH370; when people say that the search for MH370 has not produced results or whatever, they are referring to the aircraft itself. There are plenty of other such cases as well. Cheers YSSYguy (talk) 17:51, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- Just to my knowledge such articles (including MH370) usually begin with the type of flight and starting it with "was an aicraft" looks borked to me, also per WP:BEGIN. Best, Brandmeistertalk 18:01, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- No dramas, I wasn't going to undo you edit. Cheers again YSSYguy (talk) 18:05, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
Coma Berenices image placement
I moved that last image further up the page because where you replaced it prevents the long reflist from displaying in two columns. A GA reviewer may notice that. All the best, Miniapolis 01:43, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, I noticed after my saving. Brandmeistertalk 10:44, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
- In that case, I'll move it back. All the best, Miniapolis 14:21, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
- I've already did, so that the bottom would coincide with the relevant section. Brandmeistertalk 15:00, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks; when I copyedited that last section, I realized it belonged there. I've finished the copyedit; good luck with GA and all the best, Miniapolis 16:08, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Neapolitan Sunset
You took it upon yourself to remove one of the most unique sunsets on this encyclopedia to represent the southwest desert area. You claimed in your edit summary, that the "Photo Caption" read that is was due to smoke. That was untrue. The caption said noting of the sort. You had to click on the photo, and follow it to it's Commons description to find that info. I have replaced the photo with one that has no "SMOKE". Editing for the sake of editing is not a contribution my friend and the hoard of readers that clicked on that photo to view it this last 2 weeks would agree with me. Hopefully, you will not find a random excuse to eliminate the new one. Thanks, and happy editing.Pocketthis (talk) 22:10, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
- A few hours later, and with some time to evaluate the fit of the new photo, I am pleased to say that the new addition fits the page better in color and composition. So, I am pleased that you made the edit after all. I must say in all honesty, that the smokey, hazy conditions of the photo you removed, were not a relevant factor in my increased appreciation for the replacement photo, but rather that the Neapolitan shot was very red, and almost a distraction when scrolling down the page. All the best - Pocketthis (talk) 01:05, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

The big story with the Rockettes is that they performed for the president's inauguration. That's highly relevant. You're right that we don't (yet) have a photo of the Rockettes kicking up their heels for the new president, but the mashup of two existing photos is the best we can do, and accurately conveys the idea of the performance; please consider reinstalling the image.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 21:53, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
- That pic is confusing and is just a juxtaposition of The Rockettes and Trump. It would be cool if we find an actual freely licensed photo of them at the inauguration. It probably exists as the official US government stuff is usually in public domain. Brandmeistertalk 22:02, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
- I agree about it being cool, but I've been hunting thru images on the Internet, so far, nothing -- but it is an interesting topic (Trump + Rockettes). There are photos here and here but nothing that I can tell done by a US govt source. So if nothing else is available, why not use the best one we've got (the mashup of our two public domain images)?--Tomwsulcer (talk) 00:34, 23 January 2017 (UTC) Plus I don't think the picture is that confusing -- just Trump and a few Rockettes.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 00:35, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
- My point was that the pic falsely shows Trump standing with them, as if he were there. As such, it doesn't look encyclopedic. Brandmeistertalk 10:21, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
- What sort of image would you approve of?--Tomwsulcer (talk) 15:20, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
- I think it's possible to ask licensing permission via WP:OTRS from sources like [1] and the like, if nothing eventually emerges. Brandmeistertalk 15:53, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
- Perhaps but my sense is something with Trump + Rockettes (which is the real story here) is needed; is there a composite image you'd go with?--Tomwsulcer (talk) 17:07, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
- Something like this probably. Brandmeistertalk 19:15, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

- Looks like a cheap Photoshop forgery to me. Suggest simply combining such photos side by side, not on top of each other. Brandmeistertalk 19:53, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
Mrs Vassiliki
Hi. The article says she was married to Ali Pasha (hence not a mere concubine), and the "Ottoman concubines" category is about the concubines of Ottoman sultans (as it appears from its parent categories).--Phso2 (talk) 18:13, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
- Feel free to revert, but the article also says she joined his harem. Brandmeistertalk 18:34, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

I invite you to comment on my idea of article incubator. The idea is not new and details of the previous version can be found at WP:INCUBATOR. I would be glad if you enhance it with your experience. Feel free to improve upon the proposal that I have placed. Anasuya.D (talk) 09:34, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

The List of People's Artists of Azerbaijan is incomplete. Could you add the people missing in the list, from the complete Azerbaijani az:Azərbaycan SSR xalq artistlərinin siyahısı and Russian ru:Список народных артистов Азербайджанской ССР versions?
Thank you.
