Hey GrammarFascist,
I saw your response regarding the 5,000,000th logo and I have been tweaking the ribbon and font. I want it to be legible and I understand the accessibility issues raised on the project page. As such, I was wondering if I could get your opinion on the tweaks I have done before I upload it completely. The sample can be found here. The link is also CSS compatible if you want to test the logo out. I flipped the font colors (black background with slight white outline to delineate the red from black) and enlarged the ribbon and font size. Thank you. -- Stabila711 ( talk) 20:53, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Grace Foods soup-mixes display.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 17:51, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello. I see there is a debate about whether to use "is" or "are" for Guns N' Roses.
In this case, Guns N' Roses is a singular entity as a band.
"It depends if the plural has a singular that can refer to the members.
The Beatles is my favourite group In this context, we're referring to the group directly.
Paul McCartney is my favourite Beatle, but I like the other Beetles too In this context, we consider each band member a Beatle, in which case we can absolutely use the plural form." [1]
