Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing without further warnings. Thank you, - FlightTime (open channel) 17:24, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also, are you running a bot? Please stop!! - FlightTime (open channel) 17:26, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not running a bot. I apologize, I didn't know I was disruptive. I was just uploading my photos. PaulLim11 (talk) 17:28, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Any change to an Infobox image must be discussed on the talk page first, this gives page watchers a chance to post their opinions. - FlightTime (open channel) 17:43, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@FlightTime: This was not an appropriate use of the level 3 disruption template. A good-faith effort to update infobox photos with quality photos is not vandalism. The edits are pretty clearly also not bot edits (they are tagged as VE, and at a pace of one every 1-3 minutes or so). A much better approach would have been a welcome and explaining why Paul should slow down on updating all the article inboxes.

And it's frankly not true that any change to an infobox image must be discussed on the talk page. By all means, if the proposed new image is not a clear improvement to the article (in terms of quality, recency, subject expression, etc.), than it's often a good idea to bring it up on the talk page for discussion and gain a consensus first, or simply add the image elsewhere in the article. But demanding discussion for any infobox image change is antithetical to how Wikipedia works, where editors are encouraged to be bold and improve articles. If you or another editor disagree with an infobox image change becauase you think the photo is not an improvement, it can be undone followed by a discussion, as any disagreement on article content is typically handled. But undoing edits for the sole purpose of there not having been a discussion isn't constructive (and can be considered stonewalling, as other editors have pointed out on Demi Moore and Elijah Wood). Imagine if every change to Wikipedia required a discussion first.

@PaulLim11: I'd generally say, update the infobox article when the new image is clearly an improvement or at least on-par with the prior one. If it's not clearly the case, then it's often best to place the image elsewhere in the article, and start a discussion on the talk page if you think it should be in the infobox (or other editors may update the infobox themselves if they agree that it should be there). When you're updating the infobox, I see you're also retaining the old photo by moving it elsewhere in the article instead of simply removing it, which is good.
