Image on Samuel Mitchell



Respectfully I don’t think there is anything that wrong with the image, not only is it based of his grandson and grandfather but by that logic the images on the page Adam, Moses, Abraham etc. should be removed because that’s what the artist thought they looked like (artist representation), the image that used to be on the page of Mozart was not contemporary, the only differences being that they are a couple hundred years older, the image of Pierre Charles L’Enfant seems even more like original research, uploaded by the artist and is a silhouette drawing which (in my honest opinion) doesn’t really look the best. Even the page for Qin Shi Huang has an “imaginary portrait” which I doubt is based of any of his relatives (considering it comes from the 19th century).

Im not trying to argue just addressing a point. Mwen Sé Kéyòl Translator-a (talk) 09:54, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

:Actually never mind, I guess it’s against the WP:Portrait, although it’s not “imagined” per sé. and most of the time there is a continuity between Grandson and Grandfather. But perhaps I’m mistaken in this regard. Mwen Sé Kéyòl Translator-a (talk) 15:53, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
::You can't just add a portrait that you drew yourself based on what you "think" a person looked like, that would be WP:OR ↗. TheBritinator (talk) 16:01, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
:::Yes ok I get it no need to drill it in I’ve already agreed with you on your page, no need to come to another one and say the same thing. Mwen Sé Kéyòl Translator-a (talk) 16:04, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
:::Also it isn’t WP:OR it’s WP:Portarit, Wikipedia OR is for sources and research, it does say “an image wholly created by a Wikipedia isn’t original research” but that’s not the point. The point is I agree and accept that they aren’t original or Comte portray, but by that logic the image on P.C L’Enfant needs to go. Mwen Sé Kéyòl Translator-a (talk) 16:07, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
:::I got rid of the image of L’Enfant, the user who added it even said that it was based on an image of his father (similar to mine of Samuel Mitchell), so for 15 years that was untouched even though by the standards you have given me that is wrong, so I’ve deleted it from the page. Hope that helps :) Mwen Sé Kéyòl Translator-a (talk) 16:13, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
::::Thank you for reverting your edits. While I disagree that this still falls under OR, I appreciate that you are listening. I know it's hard to acknowledge mistakes, but I would like to thank you for finding the strength to do so. Cheers!

<big>'''Into the Vortex! (Of Good and Featured Content)'''</big>
:Since our newsletter last December, the ''Doctor Who'' WikiProject has seen a large amount of quality article improvement. So far, 16 Good Articles have been improved this year! We're at about the same pace we were last year, which is always good to see, especially given the twelve other articles nominated for GA status at present. Special shoutouts to users {{noping|Rhain}} for their improvements on First Doctor ↗ serials, {{noping|SkywalkerEccleston}} for their various improvements across a wide variety of articles, {{noping|Lbal}} for their work on Full Circle (''Doctor Who'') ↗, and {{noping|Doomitron}} for their work on Sixth Doctor ↗.

:Additionally, since then, Ice Warrior ↗ has been improved to Featured Article status, List of ''Doctor Who'' creatures and aliens ↗ and List of ''Doctor Who'' characters ↗ have been improved to Featured List status, and three Good Topics focused on articles relating to the Midnight Entity ↗, the Slitheen ↗, and ''Doctor Who'' series 15 ↗ have been nominated and approved.

:Congratulations to all of the users who have improved quality ''Doctor Who'' articles in the past few months!

<big>'''A flabbergasting discovery'''</big>
:In March, it was announced that episodes 1 ("The Nightmare Begins") and 3 ("Devil's Planet") of ''The Daleks' Master Plan ↗'' were found by the charity Film is Fabulous! in a private collection among some films. The collector gave them permission to have them and sadly passed away not long after. Upon learning of the discovery through Toby Hadoke ↗, actor Peter Purves ↗, who starred in the episodes alongside William Hartnell ↗ and Adrienne Hill ↗, said "My flabber has never been so gasted". The episodes were shown at a BFI ↗ screening (with Purves in attendance) in April and are now available on BBC iPlayer ↗ in the UK and the official Doctor Who Classic YouTube ↗ channel in the US. This means that episodes 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 of ''The Daleks' Master Plan'' are now available.

:It has been hinted that more could be found in the near future as 95 episodes remain missing.

<big>'''Intelligence Bulletin from the Subwave Network'''</big>

<big>'''Succession'''</big>
:The oldest-living person associated with the Whoniverse since Arnold Yarrow ↗'s death in December 2024, Laurie Webb ↗, sadly passed away on 29 March aged 101 years, 327 days. He remains the fifth longest-lived person associated with the Whoniverse and the tenth to become a centenarian. The title of oldest-living person associated with the Whoniverse is now held by 97-year-old Peter Cellier ↗ (''Time-Flight ↗'').
