Yeah I replied on the talk pages. Actually, the first revert was by Str1977 as I was just restoring something that was deleted by error by someone else. There is a clear precedent with the comparable Charlie Hebdo case. Indeed, there should be a lot more than just a see also link, I just don't know enough about the topic to know what should be there.

@ Musa Raza: You referred me to a list you created which not only lacked references, it was a duplicate of an existing Wikipedia list, and it contained non-notable, non-verifiable and self-promotional entries from commercial businesses purporting to be notable Pakistani still photographers. I clearly explicated my concerns, including the non-standard method of alphabetizing according to first name instead of by surname. I explicated my rationale for deletion of this specific list insofar as I am a member of the Wikipedia Photography Project and the History of Photography Project. I have no knowledge about other lists you created and have no intention of challenging the veracity or notability for the sake of challenge. It is up to the Administrators to ascertain whether your List or other entries, meet Wikipedia standards. N0TABENE ( talk) 20:19, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

First, and most simply, the image lacks a rationale for use on Joe Rosenthal. This is a direct violation of WP:NFCC #10c. I could remove it on those grounds alone. Of course, an editor such as yourself would likely dutiful place a rationale on the image description page for that use. That's been done before, and removed. Our policy on the use of non-free images asks us to limit non-free image use. The guideline, which helps describe acceptable use, specifically disallows the use you are attempting. See Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Images_2 #6 for inappropriate use, which says "an image to illustrate an article passage about the image, if the image has its own article (in which case the image may be described and a link provided to the article about the image)}}". There really is no wiggle room on this. The image clearly has an article dedicated to that image at Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima. Therefore, the only place the image can be used is on that article. Any other use of the image is not permitted. Instead, as per the guideline a link to that article must be used instead. If you have questions about this, ask. Simply restoring against guideline and policy is not an option. Thank you, -- Hammersoft ( talk) 01:40, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello N.B., I am the party responsible for several recent edits to the Photographic film article, two of which you have reverted, but I neglected to log in and am listed in the edit history as IP 66.81.223.176.
The revert-involved paragraph was mostly written by me in the course of an overhaul and considerable expansion of the history section several years ago. That does not give me any ownership of it, of course, but it does make me the world's foremost authority on what it was designed to accomplish, which is to interestingly but concisely inform the uninitiated that there were several forms of photography, using various substrates, before the existence of "photographic film" as that term is properly defined in the first sentence of the article's lede. I named three usual supports -- silver-plated copper, paper and glass -- but kept it simple by limiting the catalog to those and particularly omitting experimental ones such as Niépce's lithographic stones and pewter.
A crucial part of the art of Wikipedia editing, it seems to me, is cultivating objective judgement about what not to include. Simply cramming in more facts can do a disservice to readers by distracting their focus from the main subject at hand, and pairs of eyes blindsided and bewildered by technical digressions can quickly glaze over. IMO, shoehorning photochemical details about pre-film processes into this paragraph runs those risks, and very needlessly, too: in addition to the main "History of photography" article hatnoted immediately above the paragraph, the linked "daguerreotype", "calotype" and "photographic plate" articles are just one click away, ready to supply such information to any reader who is interested.
My specific objections to your additions are several:
My overarching general objection is that this is the proverbial camel's nose under the tent: daguerreotype details are added by one editor, then another comes along, feels that Talbot is being slighted and inserts some details about the calotype, then the tintype gets a mention, and so on until we have yet another potted technical history of early processes -- of which there must be a score in Wikipedia already -- instead of a bit of easily readable enlightenment that chemical photography is not necessarily synonymous with "film" and was around long before it.
I occasionally look in on this and other photography articles I've worked on and discharge my share of a duty, as I see it, to help police them by correcting any erroneous changes or additions and curing any distracting tangential digressions which have appeared, which is what I am attempting to do in this instance. AVarchaeologist ( talk) 21:00, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
1. ... extensive rationale posted on N0TABENE's talk page, so again removing distracting and partially erroneous tangential additions. Other adjustments.
Your rationale was irrational. You reverted edits that were made clear as to the reason why they were made. This discussion belongs on the Photographic Film talk page, not my user talk page. The historical precedents for photographic film are not “extraneous and distracting” and because you do not understand basic level chemistry does not make something a “partially erroneous tangential discussion”. What does “partially erroneous” mean? Either it’s wrong and should be corrected, or it’s not wrong. It is your subjective opinion that it is tangential to the article.
2. particularly omitting experimental ones such as Niépce's lithographic stones and pewter.
Niépce’s process is recognized historically as the first image to use the photographic process as defined by Herschel, not a lithographic process. While he did start with pewter and stone, he ended up with silver on a polished copper plate (sounds like Daguerre’s “invention”?) I noticed that you similarly removed references to Niépce in the past from this article, with no discussion other than your own opinion that it didn’t belong there.
3. "... techniques, such as Nicéphore Niepce’s heliograph ...": the least of my worries, but as your edit summary for the reversion correctly states, the product is a heliograph and the process (or "method" or "technique") is heliography, so no need to pipe the link -- "heliography" is the correct form in your context."
It does not make sense to refer to Niepce’s technique while referring to Daguerre’s image. Either use heliography and daguereotypy PROCESS, or heliograph and daguerreotype IMAGE, but to mix a process for one inventor and then immediately follow it by the resultant image makes no sense and is linguistically and editorially incongruous.
4. "The light-sensitive chemicals were exposed directly to light ..." makes me scratch my head and try to think of any processes in which such chemicals were not "exposed directly to light".
Prior to exposure to light, the chemicals are light sensitive. After exposure and before development, the image is referred to as a latent image, which becomes visible after development. I see nothing confusing about light-sensitive materials being exposed to light. Perhaps the word “directly” should be omitted. What you have changed the text to read now infers that LIGHT SENSITIVE material are deposited on the plate and result in the visible image. This is wrong. Furthermore, you left my original reference in place, which does not support your incorrect content edit.
5. "... chemically transformed into visible images, which in the case of daguerreotypes, is as a result of deposition of insoluble silver halide salts formed on the surface ...": I've checked pages 27-30 of your citThe , courtesy of Google Books (but must otherwise beg off your unhelpful "pages=28 et. seq.",
I find your comment rather amusing, as I cited a long section of a recognized standard reference book on the topic that you did not have access to, as “unhelpful”. In your years of multiple edits and deletions to this article, you have never referenced a single source or footnoted any added content. Wikipedia is not a term paper, and your “contributions” are more akin to personal opinions or “original research” than contributions to an encyclopedic article. Your “contributions” have in part been responsible for the lack of citations tag on this article that other editors have attempted to correct. Each of your edits has only contributed to the lack of referenced material, and your continual ignoring of WP:CITE and WP:verifiable sourcing guidelines is an abrogation of basic Wikipedia tenets. May I suggest that you read and have access to recognized reference texts in the field before you decide to edit an article?
6. The silver halides ("silver halide salts" is an unorthodox and rather redundant construction -- it's normally either "silver halides" or "silver salts"; the latter also encompasses some non-halide salts)
The term halide salt is not redundant as you seem to infer – you can have a halogen that is not a salt and a salt that is not a halide. The common photo processes were developed based upon the silver halide salts. I don’t see what your complaint is. This is basic high school level chemistry. Besides, now you’re getting into the realm of picayune grammar policing.
7. "...it does make me the world's foremost authority on what it was designed to accomplish, which is to interestingly but concisely inform the uninitiated …"
I do not remember seeing that definition of what Wikipedia is intended to accomplish. I do believe it is actually a digital encyclopedia Wikipedia:Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. This “interesting but concise [article for] the uninitiated” is entirely your own construct. Who are "the uninitiated" to whom you refer?
What I most object to is your non-cooperative editing style, with a total lack of reference to any standard verifiable reference, deleting content and moving sections without any attempt at consensus, as if you are the sole arbiter. Please remember Wikipedia is a collaborative effort, not your personal domain. Your multiple reverts and lack of references tread dangerously close to disruptive editing. And furthermore, I don't need your charity.

I occasionally look in on this and other photography articles I've worked on and discharge my share of a duty, as I see it, to help police them by correcting any erroneous changes or additions and curing any distracting tangential digressions which have appeared, which is what I am attempting to do in this instance. AVarchaeologist (talk) 21:00, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for “looking in”. What was left when I and several other editors found this article was an essentially unreferenced, very general discussion, which was being vandalized by an inexperienced editor who was subsequently blocked from further editing. It would have been helpful for you to have provided references for the material that you added, instead of making people either find the sources of your content, or re-write it with references. I suggest you start with reviewing WP:REFBEGIN to help you understand the concept. When you came by, and I checked that your IP address had NO PRIOR EDITS, and provided no references, but did make some rather condescending remarks explaining you edits (““disruptive”, “incorrect usage….”), there was a low threshold to revert your unhelpful edits. If you want to contribute, then contribute referenced reliable and verifiable content, not your opinions and chest-beating (“it does make me the world's foremost authority on what it was designed to accomplish, which is to interestingly but concisely inform the uninitiated …”). Your rationales were rather insulting (“wrong usage” which you subsequently admitted was correct usage, but deleted anyway), and frankly, irrational. Your self-appointed “policing” and personal opinions should be omitted from editing on Wikipedia. N0TABENE ( talk) 04:39, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

The windows of the Goodale House are not First Period. In fact, the exterior of the house, like most 300 year old houses, is almost entirely the result of repair or restoration. Originally the house probably had banks of diamond paned windows, centered in each front room; current fenestration suggests sliding sash, which, of course, every house from the First Period acquired at some point, most by the late 1700s. It's a great house, clearly First Period; but the windows themselves are not early, and the fenestration is conjectural. To say the windows are First Period is innacuate and intentionally misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Old houses ( talk • contribs) 02:34, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
This preceding comment is clearly a personal attack. Old houses ( talk) 22:14, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
I disagree with your interpretation of what is expected of contributors. I believe correct information is preferable to incorrect information that has been stated by someone else, somewhere else. If any architectural historian has ever seen the windows, then their report would say that they are reproductions, since all such windows are reproductions. I guess I'll have to find a source, any source, and you'll allow my miniscule, factual edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Old houses ( talk • contribs) 06:51, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
You have improved the Goodale House entry, thank you. However, you are ignoring Wikipedia's expectation of "reliability" when citing that convenient family legend regarding the windows. There is no question this is a first period house; the exposed framing makes that clear. The story about the windows is simply not reliable. Find a reliable source that says those windows are original, then relate the romantic story about the doctor rushing up from Boston to protect his heritage. Amateur genealogy is often a hindrance to basic architectural history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Old houses ( talk • contribs) 19:05, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 12th Armored Division (United States), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages 3rd Infantry Division, 4th Infantry Division and 42nd Infantry Division. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Yeah I replied on the talk pages. Actually, the first revert was by Str1977 as I was just restoring something that was deleted by error by someone else. There is a clear precedent with the comparable Charlie Hebdo case. Indeed, there should be a lot more than just a see also link, I just don't know enough about the topic to know what should be there.

@ Musa Raza: You referred me to a list you created which not only lacked references, it was a duplicate of an existing Wikipedia list, and it contained non-notable, non-verifiable and self-promotional entries from commercial businesses purporting to be notable Pakistani still photographers. I clearly explicated my concerns, including the non-standard method of alphabetizing according to first name instead of by surname. I explicated my rationale for deletion of this specific list insofar as I am a member of the Wikipedia Photography Project and the History of Photography Project. I have no knowledge about other lists you created and have no intention of challenging the veracity or notability for the sake of challenge. It is up to the Administrators to ascertain whether your List or other entries, meet Wikipedia standards. N0TABENE ( talk) 20:19, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

First, and most simply, the image lacks a rationale for use on Joe Rosenthal. This is a direct violation of WP:NFCC #10c. I could remove it on those grounds alone. Of course, an editor such as yourself would likely dutiful place a rationale on the image description page for that use. That's been done before, and removed. Our policy on the use of non-free images asks us to limit non-free image use. The guideline, which helps describe acceptable use, specifically disallows the use you are attempting. See Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Images_2 #6 for inappropriate use, which says "an image to illustrate an article passage about the image, if the image has its own article (in which case the image may be described and a link provided to the article about the image)}}". There really is no wiggle room on this. The image clearly has an article dedicated to that image at Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima. Therefore, the only place the image can be used is on that article. Any other use of the image is not permitted. Instead, as per the guideline a link to that article must be used instead. If you have questions about this, ask. Simply restoring against guideline and policy is not an option. Thank you, -- Hammersoft ( talk) 01:40, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello N.B., I am the party responsible for several recent edits to the Photographic film article, two of which you have reverted, but I neglected to log in and am listed in the edit history as IP 66.81.223.176.
The revert-involved paragraph was mostly written by me in the course of an overhaul and considerable expansion of the history section several years ago. That does not give me any ownership of it, of course, but it does make me the world's foremost authority on what it was designed to accomplish, which is to interestingly but concisely inform the uninitiated that there were several forms of photography, using various substrates, before the existence of "photographic film" as that term is properly defined in the first sentence of the article's lede. I named three usual supports -- silver-plated copper, paper and glass -- but kept it simple by limiting the catalog to those and particularly omitting experimental ones such as Niépce's lithographic stones and pewter.
A crucial part of the art of Wikipedia editing, it seems to me, is cultivating objective judgement about what not to include. Simply cramming in more facts can do a disservice to readers by distracting their focus from the main subject at hand, and pairs of eyes blindsided and bewildered by technical digressions can quickly glaze over. IMO, shoehorning photochemical details about pre-film processes into this paragraph runs those risks, and very needlessly, too: in addition to the main "History of photography" article hatnoted immediately above the paragraph, the linked "daguerreotype", "calotype" and "photographic plate" articles are just one click away, ready to supply such information to any reader who is interested.
My specific objections to your additions are several:
My overarching general objection is that this is the proverbial camel's nose under the tent: daguerreotype details are added by one editor, then another comes along, feels that Talbot is being slighted and inserts some details about the calotype, then the tintype gets a mention, and so on until we have yet another potted technical history of early processes -- of which there must be a score in Wikipedia already -- instead of a bit of easily readable enlightenment that chemical photography is not necessarily synonymous with "film" and was around long before it.
I occasionally look in on this and other photography articles I've worked on and discharge my share of a duty, as I see it, to help police them by correcting any erroneous changes or additions and curing any distracting tangential digressions which have appeared, which is what I am attempting to do in this instance. AVarchaeologist ( talk) 21:00, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
1. ... extensive rationale posted on N0TABENE's talk page, so again removing distracting and partially erroneous tangential additions. Other adjustments.
Your rationale was irrational. You reverted edits that were made clear as to the reason why they were made. This discussion belongs on the Photographic Film talk page, not my user talk page. The historical precedents for photographic film are not “extraneous and distracting” and because you do not understand basic level chemistry does not make something a “partially erroneous tangential discussion”. What does “partially erroneous” mean? Either it’s wrong and should be corrected, or it’s not wrong. It is your subjective opinion that it is tangential to the article.
2. particularly omitting experimental ones such as Niépce's lithographic stones and pewter.
Niépce’s process is recognized historically as the first image to use the photographic process as defined by Herschel, not a lithographic process. While he did start with pewter and stone, he ended up with silver on a polished copper plate (sounds like Daguerre’s “invention”?) I noticed that you similarly removed references to Niépce in the past from this article, with no discussion other than your own opinion that it didn’t belong there.
3. "... techniques, such as Nicéphore Niepce’s heliograph ...": the least of my worries, but as your edit summary for the reversion correctly states, the product is a heliograph and the process (or "method" or "technique") is heliography, so no need to pipe the link -- "heliography" is the correct form in your context."
It does not make sense to refer to Niepce’s technique while referring to Daguerre’s image. Either use heliography and daguereotypy PROCESS, or heliograph and daguerreotype IMAGE, but to mix a process for one inventor and then immediately follow it by the resultant image makes no sense and is linguistically and editorially incongruous.
4. "The light-sensitive chemicals were exposed directly to light ..." makes me scratch my head and try to think of any processes in which such chemicals were not "exposed directly to light".
Prior to exposure to light, the chemicals are light sensitive. After exposure and before development, the image is referred to as a latent image, which becomes visible after development. I see nothing confusing about light-sensitive materials being exposed to light. Perhaps the word “directly” should be omitted. What you have changed the text to read now infers that LIGHT SENSITIVE material are deposited on the plate and result in the visible image. This is wrong. Furthermore, you left my original reference in place, which does not support your incorrect content edit.
5. "... chemically transformed into visible images, which in the case of daguerreotypes, is as a result of deposition of insoluble silver halide salts formed on the surface ...": I've checked pages 27-30 of your citThe , courtesy of Google Books (but must otherwise beg off your unhelpful "pages=28 et. seq.",
I find your comment rather amusing, as I cited a long section of a recognized standard reference book on the topic that you did not have access to, as “unhelpful”. In your years of multiple edits and deletions to this article, you have never referenced a single source or footnoted any added content. Wikipedia is not a term paper, and your “contributions” are more akin to personal opinions or “original research” than contributions to an encyclopedic article. Your “contributions” have in part been responsible for the lack of citations tag on this article that other editors have attempted to correct. Each of your edits has only contributed to the lack of referenced material, and your continual ignoring of WP:CITE and WP:verifiable sourcing guidelines is an abrogation of basic Wikipedia tenets. May I suggest that you read and have access to recognized reference texts in the field before you decide to edit an article?
6. The silver halides ("silver halide salts" is an unorthodox and rather redundant construction -- it's normally either "silver halides" or "silver salts"; the latter also encompasses some non-halide salts)
The term halide salt is not redundant as you seem to infer – you can have a halogen that is not a salt and a salt that is not a halide. The common photo processes were developed based upon the silver halide salts. I don’t see what your complaint is. This is basic high school level chemistry. Besides, now you’re getting into the realm of picayune grammar policing.
7. "...it does make me the world's foremost authority on what it was designed to accomplish, which is to interestingly but concisely inform the uninitiated …"
I do not remember seeing that definition of what Wikipedia is intended to accomplish. I do believe it is actually a digital encyclopedia Wikipedia:Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. This “interesting but concise [article for] the uninitiated” is entirely your own construct. Who are "the uninitiated" to whom you refer?
What I most object to is your non-cooperative editing style, with a total lack of reference to any standard verifiable reference, deleting content and moving sections without any attempt at consensus, as if you are the sole arbiter. Please remember Wikipedia is a collaborative effort, not your personal domain. Your multiple reverts and lack of references tread dangerously close to disruptive editing. And furthermore, I don't need your charity.

I occasionally look in on this and other photography articles I've worked on and discharge my share of a duty, as I see it, to help police them by correcting any erroneous changes or additions and curing any distracting tangential digressions which have appeared, which is what I am attempting to do in this instance. AVarchaeologist (talk) 21:00, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for “looking in”. What was left when I and several other editors found this article was an essentially unreferenced, very general discussion, which was being vandalized by an inexperienced editor who was subsequently blocked from further editing. It would have been helpful for you to have provided references for the material that you added, instead of making people either find the sources of your content, or re-write it with references. I suggest you start with reviewing WP:REFBEGIN to help you understand the concept. When you came by, and I checked that your IP address had NO PRIOR EDITS, and provided no references, but did make some rather condescending remarks explaining you edits (““disruptive”, “incorrect usage….”), there was a low threshold to revert your unhelpful edits. If you want to contribute, then contribute referenced reliable and verifiable content, not your opinions and chest-beating (“it does make me the world's foremost authority on what it was designed to accomplish, which is to interestingly but concisely inform the uninitiated …”). Your rationales were rather insulting (“wrong usage” which you subsequently admitted was correct usage, but deleted anyway), and frankly, irrational. Your self-appointed “policing” and personal opinions should be omitted from editing on Wikipedia. N0TABENE ( talk) 04:39, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

The windows of the Goodale House are not First Period. In fact, the exterior of the house, like most 300 year old houses, is almost entirely the result of repair or restoration. Originally the house probably had banks of diamond paned windows, centered in each front room; current fenestration suggests sliding sash, which, of course, every house from the First Period acquired at some point, most by the late 1700s. It's a great house, clearly First Period; but the windows themselves are not early, and the fenestration is conjectural. To say the windows are First Period is innacuate and intentionally misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Old houses ( talk • contribs) 02:34, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
This preceding comment is clearly a personal attack. Old houses ( talk) 22:14, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
I disagree with your interpretation of what is expected of contributors. I believe correct information is preferable to incorrect information that has been stated by someone else, somewhere else. If any architectural historian has ever seen the windows, then their report would say that they are reproductions, since all such windows are reproductions. I guess I'll have to find a source, any source, and you'll allow my miniscule, factual edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Old houses ( talk • contribs) 06:51, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
You have improved the Goodale House entry, thank you. However, you are ignoring Wikipedia's expectation of "reliability" when citing that convenient family legend regarding the windows. There is no question this is a first period house; the exposed framing makes that clear. The story about the windows is simply not reliable. Find a reliable source that says those windows are original, then relate the romantic story about the doctor rushing up from Boston to protect his heritage. Amateur genealogy is often a hindrance to basic architectural history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Old houses ( talk • contribs) 19:05, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
