Any RS supported text?

Hi, I made an OR-free NPOV caption for your photo and left the original at Wikimedia alone, though I encourage you to fix that up too. What would really be a help is if you can find RS sources that report on the alleged protest on April 4 at Collect Pond, and write a sentence or two of text for the article.

There might be some source confirming this, but it's a fact so bland and mundane to mention how people were sorted that I'm not confident there is one. The pro-Trump protesters were on the south side of the park, which was bisected east-to-west with barriers, and the anti-Trump protesters were on the north side. Is your concern more so that you don't want to label everyone pictured in the image as pro-Trump? That there were pro-Trump flags and MAGA hats makes me feel like we should point that out in the caption. SWinxy (talk) 19:12, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

If you can't find RSs reporting on the event then your original photos and your original opinion about what they represent do not belong anywhere in the project, sorry. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 19:52, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

It's not an opinion to say there are pro-Trump flags and supporters in this photo. Does the photo in this section of Trumpism require a citation that those photographed are pro-Trump supporters? What's the line here? Do I need a citation to say that people are present here, or that this is even at Collect Pond Park? This line you're drawing for the caption, applied to all images on the project, would do away with thousands of captions that neutrally describe what the contents of photos are by requiring a citation for any statement.

That's why we have some editors dedicated to clean up tasks. But there's a huge backlog of junk to be dealt with. Meanwhile, see WP:IMAGEOR.... If you want to constructively try to form a consensus for acceptable use, suggest you try the WP:ORN. If you can win a consensus there, I won't stand int he way, though I'll offer my comments in any such discussion. please ping me if you try out that or other WP:Dispute resolution venue.

DYK for Hal Malchow

On 25 May 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hal Malchow, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Hal Malchow consulted for every Democratic presidential nominee from 1988 through 2004? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hal Malchow. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Hal Malchow), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Technoblade voice clip embed

I just saw the new voice clip you added to the article. From what I understand, its purpose for the article seems to be something close to the Wikipedia Voice Intro Project, but is there a reason you selected a recording of a Discord voice conversation as the audio file? Curious to learn more; the edit summary didn't give me many hints. Cheers, u|RayDeeUx (contribs | talk page) 04:07, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

RayDeeUx Yeah, it's kinda like that project. Ideally we would have a recording that is in line with the other audio introductions, but since he passed away we can't produce a freely-licensed clip ourselves. A freely-licensed clip of him speaking may aid the reader like an image would. Since I recorded some games with him, that's what I have and what I can give away. I don't think we can get an audio clip of him speaking with a fair use argument; there are already two images with them and I've never seen fair use audio files not used for song samples. I could be wrong, and there could be better freely-licensed audio clips out there.

Since you've been an active contributor to his article, what do you think of it? Yay? Nay? SWinxy (talk) 18:39, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
