- @Dan arndt: Well the page is already in mainspace so this AfC is moot. Firstly, I admit that this draft is below par and will not be accepted even if Elmina plane crash doesn't exists. However, I disagree with your rejecting criteria as "report of a single event" and "Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#NEWS and Wikipedia:Notability (people)#People notable for only one event ". Most, if not all, articles about air crashes are based off a single event and sometimes, a notable person is amongst the unfortunate. This article is not about the person, Johari Harun, but rather about accident. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 05:00, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Minorax,
I came across this photo which, to my untrained eye, looks like it has been enhanced or even has been altered using software like Photoshop. But I don't know whether or not these tools disallow a photo from being used on the project. It's a photo of a painting and I just think some filters or editing software were used before it was uploaded. You work a lot with images so I thought you could tell me if you are seeing what I'm seeing and what Wikipedia's policy was. If the photo was enhanced before it was uploaded, I see no way we can alter it back to its original condition. Thanks for any help you can provide. Liz Read! Talk! 18:23, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- I believe that in general, PD images can be edited and uploaded as long as there isn't any intent to use it for vandalism purposes. From what I see in the previous versions, this image has been edited prior to the image being captured. However, I believe that this can be edited to make it a little more natural, you just need to find someone who is skillful in image editing. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 11:14, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
