Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Two Girls Reading when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance.
Thank you. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 07:20, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Anonymous paintings
Hello Surajr7,
I have just left a question on the Talk page for the Anonymous paintings category. Then I read that not many people look at Category Talk pages. You seem to be a good person to ask, so could you see if you can answer the question, please?
Thank you and best wishes, Frans Fowler (talk) 03:57, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Surajr7, hope you have had a good weekend! I am a COI editor working on updating this page and noticed you recently edited the article.
Would you be interested in reviewing the request on the talk page? Thanks in advance. Amolier (talk) 11:32, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
Non-free images
Hi, I have just come across several non-free images you uploaded a week ago that were above 100,000 pixels (per WP:IMAGERES). You can see the amount of pixels under the main image either in green if good or red if over 100,000. If you are not able to reduce the files yourself before uploading tag with {{Non-free reduce}} at the top for the bot to reduce. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 10:22, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
- Hi, the images I uploaded seem to be ~102,000 to ~103,000 pixels in size. Is a difference of a couple pixels in height and width of the image really the difference between an acceptable and unacceptable non-free image? Especially because WP:IMAGERES say that there is no firm guideline on allowable resolution and that "no more than about 100,000 pixels" is sufficient for most uses. I will only upload images that are exactly 100,000 pixels or less in the future, but I don't really believe that resizing the existing images by a matter of a couple of pixels in dimension is necessary. Thanks Surajr7 (talk) 18:57, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
- As you say the wording is not must and just a guideline, however I've noticed a trend recently for some people to always be over: some by a few hundred over, now I'm seeing more a few thousand over. Although the wording gives flexibility, it is generally accepted to keep to 100,000 without a justification given, hence why the software show a red error if over. I still don't see it as a big issue with the odd image, but when I saw a run of these I thought I would just point out 100,000 is the preferred option.

Removed from rock and roll
Hi, I removed Kid Rock from a list of rock and roll artists, as all of the artists are from the 1950s and 1960s, and are rock and roll artists. Whereas Kid Rock is from the 90s and his name is rock. ~2026-28823-70 (talk) 21:02, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
