Michael Carrick edit
edit
Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Michael Carrick, but you didn't provide a reliable source. On Wikipedia, it's important that article content be verifiable. If you'd like to resubmit your change with a citation, your edit is archived in the page history. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 18:09, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Mattythewhite Sorry, I got confused because a news article I read mentioned him as caretaker. Spectritus (talk) 20:27, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
Emma Watson edit
edit
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war, according to the reverts you've made to Emma Watson. This means that you are repeatedly reverting content back to how you think it should be, despite knowing that other editors disagree. Once it is known that there is a disagreement, users are expected to collaborate with others, avoid editing disruptively, and try to reach a consensus – rather than repeatedly reverting the changes made by other users.
Important points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive behavior – regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not engage in edit warring – even if you believe that you are right.
You need to discuss the disagreement on the article's talk page and work towards a revision that represents consensus among everyone involved. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution if discussions reach an impasse. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to engage in edit warring, you may be blocked from editing.

See here for the discussion. Seasider53 (talk) 14:03, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks. I've read it and I understand. But, I would like to note two things: first, I think her modeling is notable and secondly she quit acting so it should say "former actress". Spectritus (talk) 14:12, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- You don't get to decide though. Seasider53 (talk) 14:21, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- Why would we not say former when she clearly stated that she has quit acting? Tell me. Spectritus (talk) 14:33, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- As for her notability as model it was debated in the original discussion but the debate was never finished so I think it's worth opening a new discussion. Spectritus (talk) 14:35, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- Well then, "retired" is different than "former" since she will return back to the role soon, says https://variety.com/2023/film/news/emma-watson-acting-break-five-years-caged-1235600852/ Q Gravelle (talk) 15:42, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Robert Duvall 1963.webp
edit
Thanks for uploading File:Robert Duvall 1963.webp. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:46, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

New Audrey image
editI don't like the black and white image. The article was already perfect before. As she's a spirit now, she's been living with me since late 2023. I don't want to see a black and white image on her article. --~2026-17547-21 (talk) 18:58, 21 March 2026 (UTC)
- @~2026-17547-21 It's standard practice to use a black and white image for deceased people if a free one is available. Spectritus (talk) 07:53, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
- @~2026-17547-21 If you prefer there's also File:Audrey Hepburn 1956 (2).jpg. Spectritus (talk) 07:57, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
- Please refrain from saying "deceased", that's disrespectful. I have soulmate connection to her and don't need others mentioning the word deceased. She's never dead, just becuse she doesn't have a body, doesn't mean she ain't around. She's a spirit. And I don't like looking at the black and white image, it's an utter eyesore. And no, it's not a standard practise to use black and white images. Coloured ones are just as timeless. I hppe you understand thank you! --~2026-17547-21 (talk) 10:48, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
- There is actually no official policy stating that images of "deceased" people must be in black and white. --~2026-17547-21 (talk) 10:58, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Short descriptions
editHi Spectritus. This change was not constructive. Short description should be short; see WP:SDLENGTH. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 00:22, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Robby.is.on Hello. I understand your concern, but I think it's still short enough and it should show all of the person's occupations not just one as it would be misleading. Spectritus (talk) 09:57, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
- Short descriptions should ideally use 40 characters or less, your version had 82 characters. They are meant to help readers identify the desired article when searching. We don't need to list all of a subject's occupations for people to be able to realise they have found the article they're looking for.
- From reading the article it appears that Wiseman was primarily known for making film documentaries so the short description "filmmaker" – or alternatively "documentarian" – seems sufficient to me. Robby.is.on (talk) 10:46, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Robby.is.on Okay. Fair point. Spectritus (talk) 14:34, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
- Cool. :-) Happy editing, Robby.is.on (talk) 17:09, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

Your Arbitrary Selective Changes of Words in American English to British English
editI read the summary of your edit, where you repeatedly changed two selective words from American English to British English. Therein, you state "Subject isn't American and therefore the article shouldn't be in US English.", while the subject itself is German. Foremost, I did not find any criterion for WP articles from which your reasoning follows. For instance, your edit actually goes against MOS:ENGVAR as it mixes both versions in the same article, even for the same word. Hence, I cannot see any improvement from your edit, quite the contrary. Could you please point me to the regulation from which you draw your reasoning? Otherwise, I consider your edits as erroneous. Proof finder (talk) 16:14, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Proof finder Perhaps, I misinterpreted the rule and it's just US English in articles about Unitedstatesian subjects and UK English in articles about British subjects. Can you confirm? Also, that article already mixed both since it used the British date format and some US spellings before I edited it. Spectritus (talk) 16:55, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for your quick reply! Okay, I suppose that I can then safely revert your edit. I assume that you were thinking of MOS:TIES, right? For a German academic in mathematics, I can clearly not identify strong ties to any particular English-speaking country (see also MOS:DATETIES). My interpretation of that rule is furthermore that it does not apply to any, e.g., US or British subject, but only those that have specifically national ties, e.g., an article about a place therein, but not necessarily a person (if not, for instance, a president of such a place).
- For the article in question, MOS:RETAIN makes much more sense to me.
- Sure, feel free to edit the date format and some other British spellings therein. What I found particularly disturbing about your edit was that you did only edit a subset of all occurrences for the particular word you were editing. Proof finder (talk) 17:21, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Proof finder I didn't go through the entire article, that's why I didn't change all the US spellings. I will leave the British date format as it's commonly used in articles about people from non-English-speaking countries. Spectritus (talk) 17:36, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

- @Jkaharper Hello. I've read your latest edit summary. So, shouldn't the WP:BDP paragraph on Category:Possibly living people, "Per WP:BDP, any individual born before 1911 (115 or more years ago) whose living status remains undetermined should be removed from this category and transferred to Category:Year of death missing (or possibly Category:Year of death unknown only if reliable sources confirm the death, but say that the person's year of death is unknown)", be changed?
