Pope Sixtus I image
Hello, I'm Cakelot1. I noticed your edits to add images to a variety of papal articles such as Pope Sixtus I and have reverted them. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Catholicism/Archive 2020#RfC on non-contemporary images of popes for relevant discussion of this sort of thing. Please also provide an edit summary in future to explain your contributions. Cakelot1 (talk) 13:46, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to George I of Greece, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. DrKay (talk) 21:06, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in George I of Greece. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Per MOS:CAPTION, 'unambiguous depictions of the subject of the article' do not require captions and 'no caption is necessary for a portrait of the subject'. DrKay (talk) 21:14, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

File:His Holiness Pope Alexander VIII.jpg
Hi Orson12345, I saw that, with your secondary user account, you've requested to rename this file to the name of His Holiness Pope Alexander VIII, declaring that the page was wrong. This is an arbitrary argument because you doesn't have any reliable reference which depicts that this portrait was created after the election of Pietro Ottoboni as Pope Alexander VIII.
In fact, there are some pictures of other cardinals wearing clothes quite similar to the papal vestments (some photos of paintings are in Commons). I understand you prefer this portrait as the main, I also prefer it because, with the knowledge of the author's identity, we can estimate the painting's chronological location to Alexander VIII's time. Bus the problem is that the official website where you obtained this file, the page of the Museo Antoniano (and also the reference to the Encyclopedia Treccani), depicts the portrait created shortly before the election of Ottoboni as Pope. Here I'm citing the original descriptions:
L. Dorigny, Ritratto del cardinale Pietro Ottoboni (papa Alessandro VIII) —English: L. Dorigny, Portrait of Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni (Pope Alexander VIII)—.
Il cardinale Pietro Ottoboni in un ritratto di Louis Dorigny, realizzato prima dell'ascesa al soglio pontificio come Alessandro VIII, Museo Civico, Padova —English: Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni in a portrait of Louis Dorigny, made before his ascension to the papal throne as Alexander VIII, Museo Civico, Padua—.
I also understand that you are going to explain that it is an obvious error and therefore, this portrait may had been created after Alexander VIII's papal election because the depicted vestments. Some time ago, before my IP connection address changed, we talked about this in the discussion page of the article, and I'd presented you the references from which I'd obtained the information of this painting and I suggested to assume their description as the real unless another reliable source(s) depict that this is an error and can give the real date of creation (which could help to identify it as Cardinal or Pope). With this, when I saw that you requested to rename the file with the name of Pope, I was searching another reference which can describes the real situation of the portrait to put in the article and in the file. I didn't found nothing but, in the page of the Museo Antoniano, there is the phone and mail to contact with the museum. Therefore, I think that, if there isn't any reliable source that can explain the real depiction of the painting, we can ask to the museum for more information about it. Probably, the admins of the collection will can give us new information about the painting to find its original depict, and solve this problem.
The information to contact with the museum is just before the photo gallery in which appears the portrait, I wish this can help.--81.40.135.122 (talk) 13:03, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
I would be open to contacting only issue I had is that some of the paintings were all ready contemporary but you would replace with ones that didn’t look as nice as the previous one I’ve always been an art and history buff so it’s important for me that the best possible painting is being used in the info box. But I apologize for my (at times) controlling actions sometimes I can be a bit of a control freak but I’ll try work on this. Last a spent a good two houses trying to find anything about that painting I found nothing except from the original website. Have a nice day! Orson12345 (talk) 17:35, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
- That's exactly what happened to me, and for this is why I suggested contacting the museum to try to clarify when it was really made, which could allow us to use this painting as the main one if it really represents him as Pope, in case it is confirmed that the current title is wrong.--81.40.135.122 (talk) 10:42, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.
Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! Celia Homeford (talk) 14:09, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Celia Homeford: I reverted your edit by accident. And there’s no need to put Phillip III (Phillip II of Portugal) readers can simply read that when they go Philip III page. Orson12345 (talk) 14:12, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- You made this revert by accident? You shouldn't be reverting good faith and clearly explained edits without an edit summary. Celia Homeford (talk) 14:18, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- I was talking about the previous edit you made that I reverted but then changed back. Apologizes for forgetting to fill the edit summary. Orson12345 (talk) 14:25, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Philip II of Spain. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. You claim at my talk page that you support putting everything back the way it was, so do so. It's been without the numeral for at least a decade, if not longer. Celia Homeford (talk) 14:48, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- I stated for you to revert everything because I don’t want to do it just for you to revert everything back. Orson12345 (talk) 14:53, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- I am reverting everything, back to the way it's been for years and years (over a decade on Philip II). The stable version has the consensus of the community and trying to impose your new change is Wikipedia:Disruptive editing, for which you can be blocked. Celia Homeford (talk) 14:55, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
Pope Benedict XIII Image
Hi, I understand that your portrait has good quality but the current one has got known creator and known dates of creation which precise the time when the painting was made, so we can estimate that it was created during Benedict XIII's pontificate. This information should be more relevant than another portrait that could be made a lot of time after the Pontiff's death. I hope than you can understant it, thanks. --79.145.148.64 (talk) 07:31, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- P.S., the portrait which you improved is also in the article, precisely in the infobox of the beatification process. --79.145.148.64 (talk) 07:33, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- I understand your point but every portrait that you have put has gotten to stay and frankly I don’t thinks it’s right for me to compromise every single time we have an interaction. Perhaps the original image can stay in the info box and the image you put can be placed in the article. Orson12345 (talk) 17:15, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not trying to compete with you, it's not about "beating you" or "you beating me", it has nothing to do with that. Honestly, the previous portrait, which is of known authorship and contemporary to the pope, is more appropriate due to its historical relevance. In addition, I think that changing the image for the aesthetic preferences of each person doesn't seem like an objective enough argument to carry out in an encyclopedia.
- After this, I'm going to revert the edition to open a consensus in which community can vote which is the most apropiate for search an objective decission.

79.145.148.64 (talk) 19:56, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- I’ve always been very willing to compromise. And I never said anything about a competition or me beating you. These “compromises” we come too are always what you want and what I want always gets thrown out the window and that is simply not fair. But I don’t appreciate you misconstruing what I said in the article talk page. Orson12345 (talk) 20:21, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- As I'd said in the article talk page, I don't getting thrown all your contributions out the window, there are some whith which I agree with you and when another person treates to change it without reasonable explanation I tried to restored to your last contribution, so I'm not throwing your editing out a window and I don't edit with this criteria as you think. If you prefer, I can go away and stop editing if you like, but in contrast with other IPs or registered users, I try to edit with the most objective vision possible.79.145.148.64 (talk) 20:46, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- I never said for you to stop editing and I would never suggest for another editor to stop editing. But I just simply don’t agree with the changes you have made to several pope articles which is fine we can agree to disagree. Orson12345 (talk) 20:50, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- I will no longer revert anything you do since there’s no point to doing so. Orson12345 (talk) 20:54, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- Don't worry, I'm leaving the project now. I didn't banning you, I was treating to do constructive editions as I saw in similar articles, but it appears that you are angry for that. I don't treating to annoy users for free. But dom't worry, I'm leaving now the project.
- I will no longer revert anything you do since there’s no point to doing so. Orson12345 (talk) 20:54, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
I'm going to restore your contributions also. Good contributions! 79.145.148.64 (talk) 21:03, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
Everything thing you are saying is false I have no problem with you editing. But you don’t seem to want to compromise with anything. But as I’ve said several times we can agree to disagree. Orson12345 (talk) 21:08, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Founding Fathers RFC
I'm one of the principal participants (the initiator but not moderator) of the Request for Comment on whether the signers of the Continental Association are considered founding founders of the USA. I just noticed your comment in the Discussion subsection of the RFC, which you began with "No" in bold. Did you intend this as an actual vote in the RFC? If so, to have it counted, you probably should move this up to the bottom of the RFC voting section below the vote previously last entered by user Gog the Mild. This suggestion is in no way intended to influence your vote. Your comment just seemed out of place. If you wish, you may indicate in your Edit Summary that you're moving it at my suggestion, though this isn't required in any way. Thank you. Allreet (talk) 14:13, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Allreet: I moved my vote to the survey section thanks for the advice. Have a nice day! Orson12345 (talk) 16:05, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Patton Revert
I'm kind of puzzled how you believe a black and white image is better than a color picture of him? Can you elaborate on this? Neovu79 (talk) 02:48, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Neovu79: I think that images of WW2 era individuals should be black and white i just think it looks better. But I’m not too passionate about it so I won’t revert it. Thanks! Orson12345 (talk) 00:04, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
