See Flag of Solomon Islands, File:Flag of the Solomon Islands.svg, and https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/74/Flag_of_the_Solomon_Islands.svg . Only in the third one do all 5 stars display for me. In every rendering and in every article it is used EXCEPT the raw image file, it only shows the top 3 stars. The last one shows that the five stars are intended to render. How can this be fixed? If it is happening to me, it is happening to someone else, so this is likely something that needs to be fixed in the image itself... -- Jayron 32 14:52, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

How do I delete my profile permanently as I cannot find the section to explain how - as I want nothing to do with Wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Delliott5 ( talk • contribs) 07:41, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
Dear Wiki Help Desk
I have endeavoured to read and properly understand the Wiki pages related to the above and as a result:
1. What follows at 3. below is my attempt to correctly complete in draft form the relevant headings on Wiki's "Template: Non-free use rationale logo/doc", the template which Mr Martin Fisher of Wiki's Volunteer Response Team suggested (by his email on 5 Mar 22) suggested I complete in order to insert the RAAF's official unit badge (aka squadron Crest) for No. 25 Squadron onto Wiki's No.25 Squadron RAAF webpage.
I request your advice as to whether my draft info for each heading is acceptable to successfully complete and submit the "Template: Non-free use rationale logo/doc" (See headings and and answers at 3. below.)
2. As a separate exercise I have also uploaded onto Wiki the official image provided to me by the RAAF of 25 Squadron's unit badge (ie its official Crest) by using Wiki's main upload file and selecting "The copyright holder gave me permission to use this work only in Wikipedia's articles" option (as per the Other Information heading below) but after doing so there was a warning which said "This media file, which you just uploaded, has been listed for speedy deletion........."
Any advice or help re the success of my uploading would be appreciated.
3.My proposed answers to the required headings on "Template: Non-free use rationale logo/doc" are:

Article = No. 25 Squadron RAAF Use = RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force)Wiki's "Template: Non-free use rationale logo/doc"' Purpose = Official RAAF Unit Badge (aka squadron Crest) of No. 25 Squadron RAAF Used for = Official RAAF Unit Badge (aka squadron Crest) in-Service and public identification of No. 25 Squadron RAAF Owner = All Royal Australian Air Force badges, current and historic, are protected as defence emblems under section 83 of the Defence Act (Australia) 1903. As such use of a defence emblem by any person requires written authorisation of the (Australian) Minister for Defence or his/her authorised delegate. Description = Official RAAF Unit Badge (aka squadron Crest) of No. 25 Squadron RAAF. History = It is currently and has been the official RAAF Unit Badge (aka squadron Crest) of No. 25 Squadron RAAF since at least 1960 Source = The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Portion = The entire Unit Badge (aka squadron Crest) of No. 25 Squadron RAAF) as provided by the RAAF is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image. Low resolution = ? Replaceability = Because it is a non-free, copyright protected logo, there is almost certainly no free representation. Any substitute that is a non- derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary. Other information = On Tuesday, 15 February 2022, the RAAF Brand Manager, Department of Defence, Canberra, ACT, Australia) considered and formally approved as an appointed delegate of the Minister for Defence (Australia) pursuant to the Defence Act (Australia) 1903, Wiki User Shellac41's request to insert the official RAAF Unit Badge (aka squadron Crest) of No. 25 Squadron RAAF onto Wiki Encyclopedia's No. 25 Squadron RAAF. The delegate's written authorisation was ″to display he 25 Squadron badge in its entirety and original form on the Wikipedia entry for the squadron only″ with the added comment that: ″A screen resolution file of this badge, suitable for the requested use is attached for this single purpose. |

If you want to import media (...) you can only do so if it is public domain or available under terms that are compatible with the CC BY-SA license. CC BY-SA means, in simple terms, anyone can reuse it for any purpose as long as they cite the source, do not imply endorsement, and obey non-copyright restrictions (so for instance, having the file on Wikipedia as CC BY-SA would not allow cosplayers to wear the emblem on a costume, because that would violate a non-copyright restriction). Going forward, I would suggest you still try to have your contact release an appropriate license, but make sure they have understood what this means. (The first three paragraphs of Wikipedia:Requesting_copyright_permission are a good explanation.)

A few hours ago, Lowercase sigmabot III added five discussions to my talk page archive [2] but did not remove them from my talk page. See this sequence of edits where it seems to have just skipped that step. Does anyone know what could have caused this? DanCherek ( talk) 11:33, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
I have been watching a corporate page for some time now to make sure no one tries to use Wikipedia as a vehicle for promotion. I feel that this particular company is dishonest and does damage to a cause I get a lot about. I did my best to try and clean it up and they sort of went to war with me. Still, I don't really know the finer points of Wikipedia policy so it wasn't easy. We went back and forth for a while until I got some help from more experienced editors who went in and cleaned their page up considerably. Anyway, this company has recently added a "products" section that has no citations that reads a lot like promotional material. It feels wrong but I don't know how to properly address it, or if it needs addressing. The page is Accessibe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:3D08:F17E:500:D9CB:E494:6788:4B4 ( talk) 13:49, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
Hi Folks!! An RFC has just closed at Talk:Asquith Xavier. Can somebody please have a squint at it and decide what the consensus is. Thanks. scope_creep Talk
Were any changes recently made to the Wikipedia font? When I read an article, the font appears normal. When I go to edit an article ... and I am in the "edit page" mode ... there is some strange, new font. Is this something new? Or perhaps I inadvertently changed some setting in my personal account, somehow? Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 18:17, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
Correct, Pearson was destructive. He never got it.
