Cerebellum (talk) 00:17, 10 December 2023 (UTC)Hello Ellis408 -- I would like to add a date to the nice picture you took of Huston Smith and posted on Commons. Do you recall in what year it was taken? Thanks -- WikiPedant (talk) 19:21, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- It was from 2006, during the filming of [[The Roots of Fundamentalism]] with Phil Cousineau, which was released on DVD. Thanks. Ellis408 (talk) 19:45, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Many thanks for your prompt response. But now I'm wondering if you're sure it wasn't 2005. I say this for 2 reasons:
- (1) Digging a little deeper in Commons, I found that someone else had already uploaded your image with a slightly different file name, as File:HustonSmith.jpg (no space between his first name and surname). That editor self-identified as "Mondaymedia", and this was their one and only edit to Commons ever (in June, 2009). Mondaymedia was the distributor of "The Roots of Fundamentalism". They dated this still image of Smith as 2005.
- (2) The Wikipedia article on The Roots of Fundamentalism says the film was released in 2005.
- It's not a big deal, but I'd like to make sure I've got it right before I modify the image description. With apologies for nit-picking -- WikiPedant (talk) 00:01, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- PS -- As for that duplicate image uploaded by Mondaymedia, I have transferred all of its usages to the image which you uploaded. (The Mondaymedia image was being used by about half a dozen versions of Wikipedia in other languages.) Once we're sure about the date, I will request that the Mondaymedia image be deleted, as it is a duplicate with no usages. WikiPedant (talk) 00:01, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi WikiPedant - I was going by the DVD cover - which says 2006, but the interview and picture were from 2005. I also changed the date to 2006 on the Roots of Fundamentalism article. Best, Ellis408 (talk) 00:52, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- OK, everything is clear. I changed the file name of your uploaded version to File:Huston Smith in 2005.jpg, updated the image description on Commons, and nominated the old Mondaymedia file (File:HustonSmith.jpg) for deletion. Thanks so much for your assistance. Regards -- WikiPedant (talk) 01:31, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you... Ellis408 (talk) 01:41, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- I just got a message confirming that File:HustonSmith.jpg has now been deleted (hence, the redlink). That's that. Best regards and thanks again for your help -- WikiPedant (talk) 23:52, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Signature missing[edit]
You made an important contribution in the Talk page of Ramakrishna regarding his Name, but you seem to have forgotten to add your signature at the end. The post now shows as if it was done by someone else, you may correct that by adding your signature. Rim sim (talk) 05:28, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
