Good evening from Campora San Giovanni, I hope everything is going well there. I'm quite well, I wanted to thank you for your contribution in Turkmen for my page, I was wondering if you could lend a helping hand to the draft I reported to you, and if possible bring it into article page mode. Sure of your response, I thank you and greet you. Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino (talk) 16:37, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

File:Communion of Protestant Churches in Europe Emblem.png
You posted a new rationale stating "The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing List of the largest Protestant denominations," but that is not how this logo is used there. Why? Dirkwillems (talk) 16:14, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Amended to {{PD-textlogo}} so it can be used anywhere locally. Unsure if this is free enough for commons though, will check again. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 16:23, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

CAHSR map deletion
Oops! I apologize, since apparently I misunderstood the file to be deleted ... the '3' version, and not the '3a' version! Yes, deleting '3' is perfectly acceptable.
(Sorry, but both an edit of adding this topic directly via the code as well as using the Add Topic function do exactly the same thing ... adding this topic into your "holiday page"! Not sure why this is screwing up that way!)

Magic Kingdom SVG logo
Hello Minorax!
Any chance you can upload a truncated version of this logo? File:Magic Kingdom Logo.svg
A version without the castle image that just reads "Magic Kingdom Walt Disney World" or just "Magic Kingdom". It would really help to have a more condensed version to use as well. Thank you! ~ Jedi94 (Want to tell me something?) 04:51, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

ASP 2024 Presidential ticket logo
I see you made some edits to https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=File:Sonski-Onak-2024-ASP-candidates.png&action=history . Thanks! I had uploaded it and placed it on two pages. But the description of the infobox reads "This is the logo for American Solidarity Party." This isn't correct--this is the logo for the 2024 presidential ticket. The ASP logo is the Pelican logo. But I don't see a way to change that infobox description.
The 2nd page I tried to use this logo on is https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Third_party_and_independent_candidates_for_the_2024_United_States_presidential_election but it was removed for WP:NFCC violations. Can you help get this tagged correctly so we can put it back on the Third party page? See https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Third_party_and_independent_candidates_for_the_2024_United_States_presidential_election&diff=next&oldid=1217285241 for the takedown revision. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bassaf (talk • contribs) 16:15, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Bassaf: Fixed. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 23:16, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- There is no way to change the original description? Only add a "further description"? Kind of weird we aren't able to remove that first sentence "This is the logo for American Solidarity Party." and only append a further description. Hmmm. Anyway, thanks!
- I see the file has been reduced by bots and tagged with free; I'll try adding it again to the Third party page. Bassaf (talk) 16:00, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

The County College
I have reverted your edit to File:Logo of The County College, Lancaster.jpg as it is not a logo. It was an official grant of arms by the Royal College of Arms, something none of the other colleges at Lancaster have. I was Principal of the College when we moved into the building. I am now getting rather old so I hope I have not made a mistake. I think the file name needs to be altered. If you are a member of County College please pass on my regards to the College Syndicate. Bduke (talk) 00:05, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- I've renamed the file to File:Coat of arms of The County College, Lancaster.jpg, if that's what you meant. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 01:45, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Hi Minorax! Would it be possible to use edit summaries for edits like this to help reduce the effort others are spending reviewing your contributions? Sdkb talk 14:49, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
