How about getting the Dow Corning article a higher resolution version of the logo. See Exxon Mobil or Apple, Inc. where we have an svg file that has unlimited resolution. Svg files store the image as vectors that can be scaled to any size while retaining resolution.

That's a great tip, thank you!

Hi. We're into the last five days of the Women in Red World Contest.

If you've been contributing to the contest, thank you for your support, we've produced over 2000 articles. If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month. Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!

Amin Vahdat, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as C-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. This is a great rating for a new article, and places it among the top 23% of accepted submissions — kudos to you! You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

	The Original Barnstar
	Thank you for your consistently clear and constructive edit requests, particularly at Talk:Northrop Grumman, which are easy to review in terms of both content and formatting. If you have not already, you should absolutely consider joining Wikipedia as an independent volunteer editor—we would love to have you here :). GoldRomean (talk) 20:21, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@GoldRomean: Oh my goodness, not to be a sap, but this is my very first barnstar and I'm really touched! Thank you!

I wish I had more time for recreational editing – I love to watch my edit counter tick upward – but mostly if I'm dabbling in mainspace I'm sticking to copy edits and articles far away from any of my conflicts of interest – e.g., you'll see me in theater-related articles now and then. I know other COI editors edit recreationally through separate accounts, but I like the transparency of having all my activity in one place – at least until I learn that's not best practice.

Anyway, thank you again! I have one last batch of requests for the Northrop article I'll be sharing soon, but I'm really proud of the improvements to the article so far – really appreciate your help reviewing all the details. Mary Gaulke (talk) 03:59, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Of course :). And yeah, I totally get that real life, well, exists. I don't think there's any rule against keeping everything in one place, but of course WP:LEGITSOCKs are allowed if transparency is a worry. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season; see you in the new year! Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 13:08, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
