Hello, Orser67! I found your name looking around at various political-related articles, and it seems like you have an interest in American politics, so I hope it's ok for me to reach out to ask if you'd be interested to help with a COI edit request in this topic area? The article for the '''[[Congressional Institute]]''' very much needs some work; the existing content of the article is overly detailed, promotional for the organization, has inline external links, and content that is not properly sourced. On behalf of the organization, I'm seeking to update the page with a new draft that trims the whole article down and provides thorough sourcing. There's an edit request [[Talk:Congressional_Institute|on the Talk page here]] that provides more details. Unfortunately, so far I've been unable to find someone to review the draft. As I have a COI (I'm working for the Institute as part of my work with Beutler Ink) I won't edit the article directly and instead would love for an uninvolved editor to review the draft and make the changes if they're appropriate. Do you think you'd be able to take a look? Thanks in advance! [[User:16912_Rhiannon|16912 Rhiannon]] ([[User talk:16912_Rhiannon|Talk]] · [[User:16912_Rhiannon|COI]]) 19:44, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Inadvertent featured picture removal?

Pencil portrait, restored

About six weeks ago you were merging material on the John Quincy Adams biography and removed a section, noting in the comment that the removal was mostly redundant material.[1] One of the things that vanished with that edit was the only featured picture at the biography: a digitally restored version of the final portrait taken during Adams' lifetime. Unfortunately Wikipedia's software tends to obscure featured picture status (you would have to click twice on the image, then scroll downward before the FP marker is visible).

This was sketched inside the Congressional rotunda after he collapsed with a stroke during a vote. The image is high resolution and it was pretty much never published until Wikipedia's restoration because the original is badly faded, yellowed, and stained. Kind of special to present something like this.

Would you have any objection to reinstating it? Durova412 18:51, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would have no objections at all! Thank you for explaining the situation, I did not mean to remove a featured picture. I restored the picture to the article, but feel free to place it in another location in the article. Orser67 (talk) 19:10, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much. Best regards. Durova412 21:38, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Help with Congressional Institute article

Hello, Orser67! I found your name looking around at various political-related articles, and it seems like you have an interest in American politics, so I hope it's ok for me to reach out to ask if you'd be interested to help with a COI edit request in this topic area? The article for the Congressional Institute very much needs some work; the existing content of the article is overly detailed, promotional for the organization, has inline external links, and content that is not properly sourced. On behalf of the organization, I'm seeking to update the page with a new draft that trims the whole article down and provides thorough sourcing. There's an edit request on the Talk page here that provides more details. Unfortunately, so far I've been unable to find someone to review the draft. As I have a COI (I'm working for the Institute as part of my work with Beutler Ink) I won't edit the article directly and instead would love for an uninvolved editor to review the draft and make the changes if they're appropriate. Do you think you'd be able to take a look? Thanks in advance! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 19:44, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
