Poster upload query
Hi, I’ve seen you on Ariana Grande’s talk page a couple times and was wondering if you could help me with uploading a film poster for the Brighter Days Ahead article. I’m not quite sure what it falls under and I’m not sure how I would go about uploading it either. Any help is appreciated! TIA Olivergrandeee (talk) 03:56, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Olivergrandeee, it looks like you were able to get the poster into the article yourself!
- I looked at the file you uploaded and you uploaded it correctly – as a non-free image, you uploaded the file with a proper fair use rationale. I assume the source you took the file from (TeamAriana on X) is an official Ariana Grande source (I don't use X).
- The only issue I see is that the image resolution is a bit too large for a fair use image, but you don't have to worry about that – a bot will likely come by and automatically resize the image at some point.
- Good job uploading the poster and making the article better! Aoi (青い) (talk) 19:43, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

- Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
- An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
- An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

False WP:UNDUE Claim Response
Sterling is a Census-Designated Place (CDP), not a city. So the USPS disclaimer you mentionaed that mailing addresses "do not follow legal city boundaries" is not applicable here. CDPs have no legal city boundaries to begin with. This makes it even more important to explain how local identity is formed through ZIP code usage and shared place names which is also what my map that you tried to delete illustrates
The inclusion of nearby communities that share Sterling ZIP codes (20164, 20165, 20166) reflects how the broader "Sterling area" is commonly understood in practice by residents, businesses, schools, emergency services, and even local media. This is sourced, verifiable, and is brought up explicitly to distinguish between official CDP boundaries and community usage.
This directly supports WP:NPOV, which encourages coverage of how topics are understood in real life, and is proportionate under WP:UNDUE. Per WP:NOTPAPER, there's no reason to remove concise, clarifying information that helps readers better understand the geography especially in an area with overlapping CDPs and shared identifiers.
Ironically, the fact that I have to explain all this on the Talk page proves the value of including it in the article. If it’s confusing enough to need clarification here, it’s certainly worth briefly explaining to general readers in the article itself.
I’m open to refining the wording, but full removal would make the article less accurate, less neutral, and less helpful to those unfamiliar with how the Sterling area is defined and understood in practice LogicalLeaf129 (talk) 20:31, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
