RCA Red Seal Records

{{{icon|25px| ↗}}} Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to RCA Red Seal Records ↗, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material ↗. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable ↗, verifiable ↗ (usually secondary ↗) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation ↗, which you can learn to make here ↗. If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 19:09, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

{{{icon|25px| ↗}}} Please stop adding uncited material to Wikipedia. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's policies and guidelines pertaining to Verifiability ↗ and source citation ↗, as you did with this edit to RCA Red Seal Records ↗, you risk being blocked from editing. Please do not make that necessary. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 13:39, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work.

Julie Andrews albums covers

You are adding cover images to Julie Andrews album articles that include banners such as "Living Stereo", even though those elements were not part of the original artwork and were not widely issued in many markets. I believe it would be better to avoid using those versions and revert your edits. Additionally, images cannot be larger than 300×300 pixels. It is also preferable to use the most widely recognized covers; for example, digital platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music use the previous cover of The Lass with the Delicate Air ↗, not the one you added, which could confuse readers searching for the album. Markus WikiEditor (talk) 18:49, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
: Hi there {{ping|RunTonyShells}}! Thank you for your contributions taking the time to upload better quality album artwork. However concur with the above, think it is perhaps indeed better to try and find more mainstream covers where possible. Also as mentioned images should be no larger than 300px to comply with non-free fair use rationale of such copyrighted images, this tool ↗ can help to resize. Best regards, Liandrei (talk) 15:40, 22 May 2026 (UTC)
::I don't want to get into editing wars, and I'd like you to review the photos you added to make them sharper than they were before. Now they all have the same quality as the previous ones, because they were reduced in size and have fewer pixels; this is the Wikipedia standard. The photo of Rosie-Marie's LP was of excellent quality and without logos, and it was now removed. Please reconsider adding photos that don't have that Living Stereo logo, they are not commonly used on streaming platforms and Andrews's books. I also want to say that since you changed the photos, you also have to change the source from which you got them. Markus WikiEditor (talk) 20:43, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

The Lass with the Delicate Air

I saw that you added the cover of The Lass with the Delicate Air ↗ back to the article, so it seems you either did not understand or did not care about what I said. That cover is misleading, because when people try to look up the album on streaming services, they will not be able to find it. Do you happen to have an image of the cover without the "Living Stereo" banner? That banner belongs to a limited edition and was not the cover used in most countries.

File:Method of Modern Love.jpg

Hi RunTonyShells. Please stop trying to overwrite :File:Method of Modern Love.jpg ↗ with a completely different image. Overwriting a file with something else is generally only considered OK to do when only minor changes (straightening, color correction, minor cropping, etc.) are being made; it's not considered OK when the overwriting file and overwritten file are completely different images. If for some reason you feel that another different image should be used for primary identification purposes in the main infobox of ":Method of Modern Love ↗", then please upload that file as a separate file with it's own separate copyright license and separate {{tlx|Information}} template (if a freely licensed or public domain image) or separate non-free use rationale ↗ template (if a non-free image). Once you do that, you can replace the syntax of the old file in the main infobox with the syntax of the one you think is better. Non-free files, in particular, shouldn't be overwritten (except for a minor change) because unused non-free revisions of a file are eligible for speedy deletion as "orphaned non-free revisions" per :WP:F5 ↗; so, overwriting a non-free file will lead to the de-facto deletion of the older unused versions of the file without any type of discussion or notification. If you've got any questions about this, please feel free to ask them below. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:13, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Sharper versions of non-free album covers

Hi again RunTonyShells. You also seem to have been recently uploading "sharper versions" of various non-free album covers. While I can understand why it might seem like a good idea to do this, Wikipedia's non-free content use policy is quite restrictive when it comes to such things and encourages us to use low-resolution versions of album cover art whenever possible (even if that means some loss in quality) as long as the low-res version is sufficient for primary identification purposes. Many of the "sharper" versions you've uploaded have been either been reduced by bots or tagged for reduction by bots because of this policy, which means they will eventually be deleted as "orphaned non-free revisions". Please keep this in mind moving forward. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:29, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
