Hello Jeff G., Thank you for your response on my editing of Leonid Hrabovsky's page. My editing was done after careful review of Mr. Hrabovsky's method, and several additional cross-references with people who are familiar with the output of this prominent Ukrainian composer. Finally, I had several personal talks wit Mr. Hrabovsky in order to verify the accuracy of the information. I have checked all the rules, and honestly don't understand why this new information was removed. Another issue is about myself being a new editor. I am not new, but I haven't been able to log in with my old username and password. Wikipedia didn't recognized my e-mail (although it was clearly the same e-mail I used in my earlier editing). I understand that you might be busy, but could you please explain to me what particular piece of information was not verifiable, and what steps I should take in order to add and enhance the above-mentioned page.
Best regards, Dr. Roman Yakub Roman Yakub 22:56, 2 March 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Romanyakub (talk • contribs)

problems adding images Tom Herck page
Hi Jeff,
You sent me a reply regarding the uploads that were denied of Euro Vision on https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Draft:Tom_Herck First I tried to upload the file in its full size. I did not get permission to upload THEREFORE I made the image smaller and tried to upload it again. However the upload was deniet again.
This is the message I received: ``We could not determine whether this file is suitable for Wikimedia Commons. Please only upload photos that you took yourself with your camera, or see what else is acceptable. See the guide to make sure the file is acceptable and learn how to upload it on Wikimedia Commons.``
I had the same problem with the image of Holy Cow that I tried to upload in full size three times, and I kept receiving the same message..
Then there`s also a file `The Decline` that I would like to add to the Tom Herck page on Wikipedia. It has been added to Wikipedia Commons but somehow I don`t manage to add it to my text on Tom Herck here. File:The Decline- Tom Herck -2016 -copyright Tom Herck -2.jpg Can you help me with this?
Thanks and kind regards, Lara — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lara van Oudenaarde (talk • contribs) 15:23, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Lara van Oudenaarde: You will have much more success if you use the Commons Upload Wizard instead of uploading cross-wiki. Once you have successfully uploaded, please follow Help:Pictures. — Jeff G. ツ 08:48, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

SecretariatCCIVS
Dear Jeff G.
sorry for sending a message, I am new here. My name is Júlia and I am volunteering with the European Voluntary Service. Today I wanted to update CCIVS page, as it is quite empty and up to date. Can you tell me why I am receiving so many messages asking me if I am being paid for editing the article? I basically copy-pasted the information from their website.
Best regards,
Júlia — Preceding unsigned comment added by SecretariatCCIVS (talk • contribs) 13:31, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
