Marathon Petroleum Corporation Logo Assistance

edit

Hello, I noticed that you have made some edits to the Marathon Petroleum Corporation page in the past and I was hoping you could help me replace the logo that is there now. The logo for branded Marathon retail gas stations was updated recently but not the the corporate one. "...the retail brand debuted a new Endurance image, including a retooled logo..." https://csnews.com/marathon-petroleum-goes-live-new-retail-brand-campaign https://csnews.com/marathon-unveils-new-image-branded-gas-stations

The accurate logo can be found on the Marathon Petroleum Corporation website here: https://www.marathonpetroleum.com/Newsroom/Corporate-Logos-and-Standards/ Is this something you would be able to help with? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:19B:8301:B5A0:241F:9AA:2CD6:28C3 (talk) 15:12, 1 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

2601:19B:8301:B5A0:241F:9AA:2CD6:28C3, hi! I don't really see the difference in logos. Regardless, the place to go is Wikipedia:Files for upload to upload the new logo. Then once it gets uploaded, you can replace the current one in the article with the new one. DOes that help? — Qwerfjkltalk 15:21, 1 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, this should help.
The logos are very similar but if you'll notice the text in the logo is all caps for the refinery business, while the retail brand uses some lower case letters.
In any case, this should help me.
Thank you! 2601:19B:8301:B5A0:1F7:3086:7200:76E8 (talk) 19:09, 20 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Great! Happy to help. Qwerfjkltalk 20:14, 20 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Just following up here, I went ahead and submitted to the URL that you provided but my request was rejected. Are you able to help?
Again, thanks for your help to this point. 2601:19B:8301:B5A0:C868:CD74:59BC:4D3A (talk) 16:50, 2 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
@CFA, it's not clear to me why you declined the request. The images are not the same. Qwerfjkltalk 17:20, 2 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Sorry about that — they look very similar. Is there a higher-resolution version available? It's below the threshold of originality in the United States so it can just be uploaded on Commons as {{PDTL}}. C F A 02:30, 3 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for your attention to this matter @CFA. I am working on tracking down the higher resolution file right now.
Once I have that, should I provide that to you or send it somewhere else? Apologies for being dense, I don't have much experience editing on Wikipedia.
Again, thank you for your help. 2601:19B:8301:B5A0:3C62:A175:A4B6:284F (talk) 17:58, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks again to both of you for your help!
I see that @CFA was able to add it here: https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/File:Marathon_Petroleum_Corporation_logo.jpg
Can either of you help me get it added to the Marathon Petroleum Corporation page? 2601:19B:8301:B5A0:D957:8943:7605:EDDD (talk) 17:21, 16 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Sure. In the source editor, change the line
| logo = Marathon Petroleum logo 2022.svg
to
| logo = Marathon Petroleum Corporation logo.jpg
If you are using the visual editor, instead, select the infobox and press the edit button for the template. Then, go to the logo field and replace the old logo with the new one as before. Qwerfjkltalk 17:33, 16 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Can you check my revisions on Rabdan Academy Wikipedia Page. I am still waiting for Wikipedia Review and approval. It has been more than two months since I did the update and the changes still not reflected. Please advise!

Drama is a human art and wherever they get a little space to perform it, they start displaying their art there. One good thing is that drama has been written by our best poets.

We know that the characters of the drama perform their part, but we evaluate them to see if they have made any mistake.

We point out the shortcomings of the characters of the drama so that they can perform well. So that they can become good actors after performing.

Question from Taodonnell (03:10, 10 December 2024)

Hello, I have an article drafed in sandbox and i'm ready to move it to be live. My account is older than 4 days old and I have made more than 10 edits. I can not see the Move button so i'm having trouble pushing the article out of sandbox. Please advise how I can do this. --Taodonnell (talk) 03:10, 10 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Taodonnell! First of all, per this log, you are not autoconfirmed, probably because it hasn't been 96 hours (i.e. 4 full days) since your account was created. Additionally, I'd recommend you add better sources before moving the article to mainspace, because in its current state it could be tagged for deletion. — Qwerfjkltalk 10:28, 10 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

How can I create an article? --Andrew.wikiwiki22 (talk) 21:09, 14 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Andrew.wikiwiki22. Welcome! Creating a new article from scratch is extremely challenging, and new editors are strongly recommended to spend a few months learning how Wikipedia works, by making improvements to some of our existing seven million articles before trying it. When you do decide to have a go at a new article, you are highly encouraged to read WP:Your first article. If you haven't already also check out WP:TUTORIAL; it's a lot of fun! Happy editing!
