Question on where to open a discussion

I would like to open up a discussion on what newspapers and news channels should or should not have liberal or conservative in the lead or not at all. I am aware of the discussions on the individual talk pages such as CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and The New York Times. I want to open up a discussion so editors can discuss which news articles should or should not have these terms. The problem is if I open it up somewhere and no-one comments, it's like talking to a wall. My question to you is where should I open up the discussion so the page has high visibility with the community so that editors see the discussion and comment. Thanks in advance to whoever helps me.

This is not a great idea. There isn't a one size fits all narrative we can apply. CUPIDICAE💕 15:57, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Also, for example, "conservative" or "far right" are critical to describing things like Breitbart (and even Fox News, etc...) and the same for far left media. This is absolutely and inherently encyclopedic and integral to an article where it's relevant. CUPIDICAE💕 16:02, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Oh and the correct place to have this discussion would be WP:VP but I strongly advise against doing so. CUPIDICAE💕 16:04, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Coming From The Teahouse

Hello, is there any real reason you want all your perms which you have used judiciously removed? Is there something you may want to share with me? Is there some sort of squabble? Do you mind emailing me? Or am I overthinking & everything is okay? Please I’m concerned. Celestina007 (talk) 19:40, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello Celestina007, the reason why I asked for my permissions removed is because I have no use for the permissions moving forward. My focus has shifted towards being a reader more than being an editor although I may edit once in a while. I essentially want to have the same rights as an IP editor moving forward. I don’t need to have all the permissions because I am not going to use them. Hope this clarifies things. Everything is OK. Interstellarity (talk) 19:45, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

In that case the collaborative project thanks you for your services, of a truth you were very good at new page reviewing, on behalf of the collaborative project I want to not only thank you but wish you all the best, if you want you can put the list of all the articles you have ever created on your user page and I would add all of them to my watchlist to ensure no one vandalizes them. Once again, the collaborative project thanks you. Celestina007 (talk) 19:52, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

I read something from a page of wise sayings about WP recently; unfortunately I cannot remember whose user page it was. It said that we cannot remain in love with everything for ever, and once we have fallen out of love with something, we often cannot fall back in love. It is natural to move on, it gives us space to do other things. It is natural for people to edit WP passionately, for years even, but then to drift on to do other things; this doesn't devalue the good from the past, it makes room to do new things in the future. If that is what's happening to you, Interstellarity, then I wish you well, and also much happy reading of WP. It is something we often forget: WP needs readers as well as writers. It wouldn't be much of an encyclopaedia if no one were reading it. Elemimele (talk) 22:27, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

Elemimele, very well said! I too have read that somewhere, I believe it was an essay, NPP would lose one of their finest but Interstellarity's happiness is more important than anything else. We wish them goodluck in their future endeavors. Celestina007 (talk) 22:40, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

@Elemimele and Celestina007: Thank you very much for your kind words. I hope to spend my life achieving great things rather than get stressed over conflicts on Wikipedia. Hopefully, when I have more free time, I can be active again. Interstellarity (talk) 13:44, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

I understand you, and being “politically correct” be damned! When you said "I hope to spend my life achieving great things rather than get stressed over conflicts on Wikipedia" I felt that, I instantaneously understood everything perfectly. I promise you, you would achieve every great thing you have set out to achieve. From the bottom of my heart I wish you all the best life can offer. Celestina007 (talk) 14:48, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) You're all thinking of WP:OWB. I don't hold it out to be the semi-sacred text some people around here seem to, and some of it is a bit dated, but it's definitely worth the read. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 21:22, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Einstein on OTD

If you look at Talk:Albert Einstein, you'll see the OTD header that shows he was featured on April 18, 2017. So when I reverted you on March 14, what I meant was that his article was included on the April 18 OTD, which is true. And I'm sorry, but Christgau gets priority this year because it's his 80th birthday (round number anniversary). Thanks. —howcheng {chat} 03:12, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

@Howcheng, Thanks for letting me know. I understand now. Interstellarity (talk) 12:07, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Place to suggest Vector 2022 improvements

Can you please direct me to the correct place to suggest improvements to the new Vector skin? I did a search on Wikipedia for it, but couldn't find anything. If you could help me, that would be great. Thank you, Interstellarity (talk) 21:23, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Lucile Randon.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Lucile Randon.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 17:37, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
