Harold Bloom (July 11, 1930 – October 14, 2019) was an American literary critic and the Sterling Professor of humanities at Yale University. In 2017, Bloom was called "probably the most famous literary critic in the English-speaking world". After publishing his first book in 1959, Bloom wrote more than 50 books, including over 40 books of literary criticism, several books discussing religion, and one novel. He edited hundreds of anthologies concerning numerous literary and philosophical figures for the Chelsea House publishing firm. This photograph by Bernard Gotfryd shows Bloom in 1986.

The Gross Clinic is an 1875 oil-on-canvas painting by the American artist Thomas Eakins. It measures 8 ft by 6.5 ft (240 cm by 200 cm). The painting depicts Samuel D. Gross (July 8, 1805 – May 6, 1884), a seventy-year-old American medical professor, dressed in a black frock coat and lecturing a group of Jefferson Medical College students in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The painting is based on a surgery, witnessed by Eakins, in which Gross treated a young man for an infected femur. Gross is pictured here performing a conservative operation, as opposed to the amputation normally carried out at the time. Eakins included a self-portrait in the form of a student with a white cuffed sleeve sketching or writing, at the right-hand edge of the painting, next to the tunnel railing. The Gross Clinic has been restored three times, most recently in 2010, and is currently jointly owned by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

The Atari video game burial was a 1983 mass burial of unsold video game cartridges, consoles, and computers, undertaken by the American video game and home computer company Atari, Inc., at a landfill site in the U.S. state of New Mexico. The burial occurred amid the video game crash of 1983, at the end of a disastrous fiscal year that saw Atari being sold off by its parent company Warner Communications. It included 700,000 cartridges of various games, including unsold copies of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), one of the largest video game failures in history. For several decades after the burial was first reported, there were doubts as to its veracity and scope, and it was frequently dismissed as an urban legend. In 2013 and 2014, an excavation was carried out by Fuel Industries, Microsoft, the New Mexico government and others, which revealed discarded games and hardware. Only a small fraction, about 1,300 cartridges, were recovered, with a portion reserved for curation and the rest auctioned to raise money for a museum to commemorate the burial. This photograph shows packaging for cartridges of the video games E.T. and Centipede in situ at the excavation site. Photograph credit: taylorhatmaker

Suggestion for List of national flags of sovereign states
[edit]I refer to the List of national flags of sovereign states article often, but there is one improvement I would suggest making. Several of the flags include white in a section of the flag that includes it's boarder. Russia is a good example. Since the background of the falg column is #FFFFFF, you can not actually see the whole flag. I was going to change the markup to start each cell with a "!" instead of a "|" which makes it grey, but that also declares it as a header, which it is not. Anyway, didn't want to mess with it and felt that it would be better to ask you directly what you thought. I will also add this to the talk page. Thank you. • Bobsd • (talk) 21:15, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

Che Guevara (14 May 1928 – 9 October 1967) was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, guerrilla leader, diplomat, politician and military theorist. A major figure of the Cuban Revolution, his stylized visage has become a countercultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia in popular culture. This photograph of Guevara, titled Guerrillero Heroico, was taken by Alberto Korda in 1960 at a memorial service for victims of the La Coubre explosion in Havana, Cuba.

Yousuf Karsh (December 23, 1908 – July 13, 2002) was an Armenian-Canadian photographer known for his portraits of notable individuals. He has been described as one of the greatest portrait photographers of the 20th century. An Armenian genocide survivor, Karsh emigrated to Canada as a refugee. By the 1930s he established himself as a significant photographer in Ottawa, where he lived most of his adult life, though he traveled extensively for work. His iconic 1941 photograph of Winston Churchill was a breakthrough point in his career, through which he took numerous photos of known political leaders, men and women of arts and sciences. More than 20 photos by Karsh appeared on the cover of Life magazine, until he retired in 1993. Photograph credit: Chris Lund

Sir Peter Paul Rubens (28 June 1577 – 30 May 1640) was a Flemish artist and diplomat. He is considered the most influential artist of the Flemish Baroque tradition. Rubens' highly charged compositions reference erudite aspects of classical and Christian history. His unique and immensely popular Baroque style emphasised movement, colour, and sensuality, which followed the immediate, dramatic artistic style promoted in the Counter-Reformation. Rubens was a painter producing altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and history paintings of mythological and allegorical subjects. He was also a prolific designer of cartoons for the Flemish tapestry workshops and of frontispieces for the publishers in Antwerp. Painting credit: Peter Paul Rubens; Scan credit: Rubenshuis

Hi, Howard! Thank you for reverting my edit on this page. I did not realize it violated the Manual of Style and, having read the section you linked, I fully agree with the policy. I came to the page because it was in a backlog of articles with infoboxes needing images. Is there a way to exclude this article from that category so some future editor doesn't repeat my mistake? If you don't know of one, where would I go to find out more? If there isn't a way, what can we do to encourage creating one? Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 21:35, 23 October 2025 (UTC)
- I'm surprised there is even such a backlog, since not all infobox es need images. As for excluding the article from the category, try asking the people at WP:HELPDESK since I do not know. ―Howard • 🌽33 07:54, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

Image removal
[edit]Hi you removed the image I added for the Al-fasher massacre but you didn't explain why you removed it (other than "sincerity") or replace it with another. Why should that image not be used? Regardless if it's not for the info box it should be used somewhere else in the article Pencilceaser123 (talk) 19:25, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
- If you're confused by the thanks it's just the stupid mobile design. Regardless thanks for the other stuff you've done. But I won't be online much next few days. Pencilceaser123 (talk) 19:32, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
- The simple reason is because it shows a man smiling and posing near people presumably about to be shot. It is an intentionally degrading image. There are other photos of the massacre online which do not show such humiliation. ―Howard • 🌽33 20:07, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
- I did not intend for the image to be degrading, I chose it to show the horror of the massacere. Not many good images exist at the time. I am open to proposals. Pencilceaser123 (talk) 20:21, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
- I believe the satellite images already provided in the article suffice, at least for now. A similar treatment is given at the article October 7 attacks. We should also remember not to select explicit images as the lead image per MOS:SHOCK. ―Howard • 🌽33 20:32, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
