:::::Sorry for the late reply(I've been busy) For Uncle Wiggily board game [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/121330977/intelligencer-journallancaster-new-era/] [[User:Timur9008|Timur9008]] ([[User talk:Timur9008|talk]]) 14:25, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
::::::That brings up an interesting situation that I have wondered about. When we have an article that was deleted due to copyvio, especially in a case of a 100+ year old game, if there is anything from the old article - anything at all - that was not copyvio, can it just be partially restored without the violating parts?

Letting you know that the edit notice is now live - if you edit any article with refideas listed on the talk page, you will get the notification. :) You can click "edit" on [[Call of Cthulhu (role-playing game)]] to see it in action, if you have not already seen it.

:Yup, I've already come across it on a few articles, both gaming and non-gaming related. I'm currently (slowly) working on a few MTG articles...

== Do you have or know of a better image for the LED article? ==
 
I don't think the previous image in the [[Light-emitting diode|LED article]] is significantly clearer than the new one I added in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Light-emitting_diode&diff=prev&oldid=1178337787 this edit]. The previous one is too dark and you can't actually see the structure of the LEDs clearly enough, as it only shows the cases glowing.
 
I'm thinking about an image that:
* Shows LEDs in a few different colors or variants
* Shows the structure of LEDs somewhat visibly
* Without being too dark like in the previous image and without too much distracting light in the background
 
Thanks. [[Special:Contributions/2601:703:280:9C80:191A:39C3:8BA:1636|2601:703:280:9C80:191A:39C3:8BA:1636]] ([[User talk:2601:703:280:9C80:191A:39C3:8BA:1636|talk]]) 19:51, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 
:{{ping|2601:703:280:9C80:191A:39C3:8BA:1636}} I've browsed the Commons category, and though it has many images, none are particularly fitting. The one you've chosen ([[:File:3 color LEDs.jpg]]) is decent but lacks sharpness; I'll leave it as is for now. There are other photos that show diode structure, but not lit diodes. Perhaps there's a CC-licenced image to be found on Flickr or some other photo sharing website.
