This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.
Hello Dear wikipedia Team. User named Edward-Woodrow attack Irakli Garibashvili's(Prime-minister of Georgia) Wikipedia page, he changed name, articles and and photo. please return original wikipedia page and restrict him to do that. thank you Bmchedlishvili (talk) 01:13, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Bmchedlishvili: Mhm? I reverted your edit because you were removing content without explanation. Pinging NobodyUser, who has reinstated some of the changes (if they'd like to comment and shed some light on the issue). Edward-Woodrow • talk20:07, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
2. your edits is not right, especially when you add another name, i will add later what i mean.
ofc im ready to discuss with mods, i have interest - i'm deputy head of strategic communications department at Prime-Minister office Georgia, whats your interest to change our page? especially profile and "other name" wich is not right? Bmchedlishvili (talk) 22:46, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. I'm happy to discuss the image, but it would be helpful if you explained why you think the image should be changed. Many of your edits are removing content from the article without explanation. Edward-Woodrow • talk22:55, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
First of all as i already reply you added wrong information, Irakli Garibashvili never was "director of the label Georgian Dream".
and i asking again, whats your interest when you change our image? you trying to hart us hard, lets talk with mods! Bmchedlishvili (talk) 22:58, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I added nothing. It is not "your image" it is the lead image of a neutral Wikipedia article. If you can actually give a reason why you think this should be changed, I am more than happy to discuss the issue; I don't really care much which image is used, but all your edits are removing sourced content from the article with no information, or accusing me of attacking the article. If you want to talk with mods, we can ask other users to give their opinions on this issue. Cheers, Edward-Woodrow • talk23:03, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also, Irakli Garibashvili was not director of the label Georgian Dream. this is false information and you trying add it hard. Bmchedlishvili (talk) 22:55, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Bmchedlishvili: I had nothing to do with that claim in the article. The sentence Garibashvili became involved in the politics of Georgia when Ivanishvili founded his political party Georgian Dream–Democratic Georgia in February 2012. Garibashvili was one of the founding members and initially headed the party's revision committee., which I assume you're referring to, among other things, is reliably sourced to, funnily enough, the Government of Georgia's own website. Edward-Woodrow • talk22:58, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
oh, you already answered whats your interest when you change photo many times? its your work or what? as you know you are not Georgian, why you whant make changes our Prime-Ministers picture?
why you adding wrong info, when he never was a director of musical studio?
As a Georgian I reviewed all this discussion and I agree with Bmchedlishvili, I see that Edward is adding false information obviously and it is suspicious why he wants so much to change good picture with bad picture. When person who says that he works with him is interested on this case, it is clear to me. But why are you so interested to change picture, i think it is little bit weird. Also I think that it is understandable that man wants that prime minister's picture was good looking on wikipedia, what is your intention :D what is your problem? why are you keen to backup some bad picture with strange background. I also see that there is attacks of vandalism on this page and It is also interesting, is there any other topic that you are changing picture so diligently, what is your intention man? NobodyUser (talk) 23:41, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@NobodyUser and Bmchedlishvili: My intent was never to add false information; I was reverting edits that removed content with no explanation. I apologize if any of my edits went against any policies or guidelines. Honestly, I don't care which picture is used. I have notified WikiProject Georgia and WikiProject politics of this discussion. Edward-Woodrow • talk00:29, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, If no one has a problem about that picture, I think it looks great. Also I checked and it is from Prime Minister's personal photographer. And that false info from page is also deleted. I think discussion is over. NobodyUser (talk) 00:44, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@NobodyUser and Bmchedlishvili: Better res image is what matters so I suggest you follow the standards. @Edward-Woodrow: There's absolutely no need for apologies. The current crop image is higher res image that is better fit for the article. Regards, An emperor✖02:54, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
How is it better resolution, that is (881 × 1,252 pixels, file size: 237 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) and previous one is (2,048 × 1,365 pixels, file size: 711 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg). What is better resolution? cropped one? you see any world leader wikipedia photo is cropped one and under it is discussion that someone wants it for no reason and changes and changes it? is this rule to follow? what is your intention doing it? and we already mentioned it that he has never worked as director of that label and why are you reverting that false text? you don't know it, you don't know about that person anything and you are reverting false text, why? NobodyUser (talk) 09:38, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think options A and B are the best quality images; option A is very simple, with a neutral background; Option B is a little more engaging, but not distractingly so. I like both of them equally, myself. Edward-Woodrow • talk15:13, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, in Georgian Wikipedia (he is also Georgian) There is option B picture, I think it is more solid and also better esthetically. If you don't have any objection. For us it will be better to set option B picture. Thank you. NobodyUser (talk) 09:55, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As I said before, option B is more esthetically better, for me it does not matter it will be option B or option C. But option A is something I don't like. Also I like that fact that option B is on Georgian Wikipedia, also on his official site and also on his official Facebook account. When you Google Irakli Garibashvili, there are option B and option C everywhere. NobodyUser (talk) 07:19, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Non-involved opinion: it seems quite consistent across English wikipedia for leaders of countries to have the image in the infobox be a clear, facing the camera, headshot. Thus option A seems to fit best. The other images could be used elsewhere in the article, but I would think one of the main purposes of the infobox photo is for people who do not know the world leader to see who they are, clearly what they look like, which they other two do not do as well given the distance from the camera and angle. Melcous (talk) 11:19, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that weirdly brown colored background is the best choice for people to know leaders, it's not only about biography, it is also some sort of public interest and it is normal to set more esthetically good photographed photo, than cropped one, with that color background. NobodyUser (talk) 12:15, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe choose between that two photos, there is normal background and also face is full visible and clear.
I just don't understand what is the problem with Option A. The background? I don't see how that is an issue, it's just a plain brown background. I think something else is going on. Do you consider the picture unflattering for some reason? If that's the case, can you find another image that is better and is front and center? All of these images are of him at a distance and turned facing away from the camera. Wkpdsrnm2023 (talk) 00:19, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is very unpleasant background of picture, not solid, not aesthetically acceptable. Also I think that option on Option E Face is fully visible, maybe center of photo is 10° right from center, but still it is with flag of Georgia on backgroound, it is also more informative as a picture. Prime Minister holds meeting, on background photos of Georgia and EU NobodyUser (talk) 07:33, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
NobodyUser I don't understand what you are talking about. It is a solid background, there is nothing "aesthetically unacceptable" about it. None of the other images are headshots. There is no need for flags in the background, the infobox clearly says his role, the purpose of the image is not to show him at work but to show what he looks like. Like Wkpdsrnm2023 I can't help wonder what else is going on becuase your explanation does not make sense. Melcous (talk) 10:14, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There on that pictures on background are flags, you consider that there are problems on that pictures? on Trudeau's picture Justin Trudeau face is not fully visible. It is also from angle, ok now let's change his photo, ?
I don't know why it is a problem to set normal picture with flags on background on prime ministers wikipedia. Even on our social media profiles there is not cropped images set by anyone who wants and no matter is it good or not. It's not the best choice. I don't know when I suggest better images, why do I receive such attitude? Why does it have to be this picture that was selected by one person in particular and there are no other better photos that are not up for consideration? NobodyUser (talk) 10:28, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, most of the world leaders images are headshots. (Trudeau's picture isn't that good, I agree, the contrast is too high, but that's a separate topic).
How about Option G (right)? It's a headshot, it's clear, it has a simple background. Is it aesthetically unacceptable? (Okay, I agree that shade of brown wasn't going to win prettiest colour of the year any time, but that's just my opinion. And it doesn't matter, because we're an encyclopedia not a social media profile or something.) Edward-Woodrow • talk12:30, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know what problem you have with my given versions and why it is necessary to cut something from the terrible quality images. Yes it is not social media, but there are many reasons why people not set on topics pictures where they are sleeping and etc. There are reasons why photographers exist and they take photos. Some of photos are good, some are worse. NobodyUser (talk) 12:49, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
