Human lead image

[edit]

If your reading of the Talk:Human discussion was that there was consensus for that lead image change, then please refrain from closing such discussions in the future unless you're going to show much more care, as you have not demonstrated the ability to make such discernments whatsoever.

@Remsense: I wasn't intending on closing the discussion at all. I have read some of the discussion going on and saw that that image was mentioned there. There were differing opinions on the discussion, and I try to act within consensus within reason whenever I can. I have made plenty of mistakes throughout my editing history. I thought I could be bold and change the image since it was mentioned in the discussion. I thought it could initiate a discussion on the talk page to discuss the image. I do not intend to change the image again unless a new consensus emerges to do something about the image. I hope I didn't cause a problem. I would be more than willing to work with you to reach consensus. If you need anything from me, my talk page is open. Sorry for any inconvenience I caused.

If you didn't think there was consensus to close the discussion, why on earth did you then make a highly visible change that is therefore against the existing consensus? It is bereft of carelessness—especially given how comparatively strong the consensus for the status quo is. Remsense ‥  00:51, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I do not want to bludgeon or discourage you, as I know all of your work on here is in good faith, but when you are particularly interested in the most important articles we have, it does everyone a service to put emphasis on the second clause immediately following "be bold". That's all. Remsense ‥  00:54, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
