Hello! I would like to change the lead picture with the picture I have recently uploaded for Rolls Royce Corniche, since I believe that it is better than the existing leading picture.
Quite frankly, the picture on the right is a poor representation of the car for the following reasons:
The subject is off-center.
The car has a racing number on its door, which does not represent it in its basic form as it should on the article.
Given your track record, you have been advised numerous times by several editors to either improve your photography or stop posting photos altogether. Unfortunately, you have ignored both suggestions over the past two years. As a matter of fact, you have once again pissed off a lot of editors with your spree of posting pictures of cars in rusted condition this week. So, from one editor to another, stop posting pictures now. -

After Georgy90 was through with the abovementioned spree, I
asked him not to insert more of his photographs within articles but instead to post to an article's talk page any suggestion of inserting his own photo within the article. Georgy90 acted on my request. His wording is polite and unobjectionable. If on the other hand you don't like the mere fact that he's asking here, then complain to/about me, not him.
You have two objections to his new picture. The first of the pair can of course be fixed in GIMP or similar within seconds. The second strikes me as trivial, though of course you're entitled to your opinion.
You or I may not like the photo so much, and may have good reason for this. However, I see no good reason for the brusqueness with which you address Georgy90. --

♠Compared against the lead pic already in place, this isn't an improvement. Have you got others? Ones without numbers on them, for a start. (Ones without the funny reflection on the grille would help, too.)
♠Word of advice? Compare against the lead pic, first. Unless it's fairly obvious yours is better, don't bother asking. And if you think a pic with numbers & odd reflections is better, I suggest you examine your standards & your motives. They appear bound to create more trouble for everyone.

"the last chassis of the 5,146 Corniche Convertibles built" (etc)
The following:
In total, 5,146 Corniche Convertibles had been built, in which the last chassis ever produced was SCAZCO3C25CX50156. The last chassis went into number 21 of 25 of the Corniche S models to be produced. Apparently 23, 24, and 25 were completed ahead of 21. This is the last chassis of the 5,146 Corniche Convertibles built and is owned by car collector Allan Jones of Cleveland, Tennessee. The dashboard plate identifies it as #21 of #25 but the plates were not assigned in sequence with the chassis numbers. Also built were 1,108 Saloons (Coupes, that is), and 140 Bentley Corniches.
Rolls-Royce officially called the soft-top Corniche a drophead coupé. It was never known as a convertible. The hard-top version was a fixed-head coupé. Please edit all references to reflect that.
