Fair use

This: because a Fair Use image can only be used on one dedicated page. Bots will keep removing if used on another page. Each new page requires a new upload, with a new, specific, rationale. Best पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 16:47, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks पाटलिपुत्र. So what should I do? Can I download the image and just reupload it?--Ermenrich (talk) 16:48, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

I guess so. Maybe change the size a bit to avoid the "same image already exists" error message when attempting the upload. And, most importantly, the rationale has to be fine tuned to make Fair Use legitimate on your page... पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 16:51, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

By the way, Fair Use uploads can only be done on the local Wiki (this link, "Upload a non-free file"), not on Commons. पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 16:59, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! I will consider my options when I have more time.--Ermenrich (talk) 20:13, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

By the way, पाटलिपुत्र, you are always very good at finding images. Perhaps you know of some more that might be used to illustrate Origins of the Huns?--Ermenrich (talk) 20:54, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

I'll keep my eyes open... Best पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 20:56, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Giving these to everyone involved in the article who has not obviously marked themselves aware:

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Balkans or Eastern Europe, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Huns

Hi. How do you do? Hope you are fine and doing well. Any new entry for {{Huns}}? --Mann Mann (talk) 13:46, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Mann Mann - I've been doing some work on Huns recently, but I can't think of any new pages that aren't already in the template! There are topics that probably do deserve their own pages but I'm not in a position to work on them now unfortunately. Hope you're doing well yourself!--Ermenrich (talk) 14:15, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Well, I think the last time Hunnic topics were hot was during Giray Altay's quest in autumn and winter 2022. Even Template:Huns: Revision history is a proof. --Mann Mann (talk) 09:08, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Don't worry, Mann Mann, I have no doubt Giray Altay will be back under a new name - if he hasn't already returned. One of the weird things about him was that his socks sometimes worked siloed on completely unrelated topics.--Ermenrich (talk) 15:42, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

You're right. Let's see what happens next. --Mann Mann (talk) 04:08, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

German academic and physician

Whenever you have a chance and if you are interested (assuming so from your work on Nazi scholars), I recently rewrote the article on Walter Gross (politician) but it could use a second set of eyes and any additional content you might have access to in the interim. If not, keine Sorgen...hoffe ich alles bei Dir gut ist. Obenritter (talk) 14:10, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Obenritter! I will try to take a look! Life's sort of caught up with me at the moment, so I may not do it soon though!--Ermenrich (talk) 18:52, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
