Photos are routinely mis-identified, either in the records attached to them, or in material added to them in subsequent prints. As an example of the latter, see [[:File:Prinz Adalbert class cruiser.png|this photo]]; when printed as a postcard, it was mis-identified as {{SMS|Elsass}}, but is in reality a {{sclass-|Prinz Adalbert|cruiser|1}}. The USN archives available through history.navy.mil is rife with errors that I've had to correct over the years. This is why we cannot just take a photo that purports to be something and take it at face value, as there is no real fact checking.

Hello, I'm Elizium23. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Milana Vayntrub, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please read WP:RS/IMDb. IMDb is not a reliable source. Elizium23 (talk) 17:50, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Panzer II, you may be blocked from editing. I explained multiple times your changes are completely wrong but you chose to ignore that. That's already above edit warring and borders vandalismTemplate:Z188 Denniss (talk) 16:22, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
On using photos as sources
Photos are routinely mis-identified, either in the records attached to them, or in material added to them in subsequent prints. As an example of the latter, see this photo; when printed as a postcard, it was mis-identified as SMS Elsass, but is in reality a Template:Sclass-. The USN archives available through history.navy.mil is rife with errors that I've had to correct over the years. This is why we cannot just take a photo that purports to be something and take it at face value, as there is no real fact checking. Parsecboy (talk) 20:17, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
