The Paris Peace Accords, officially the Agreement on Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Viet Nam, was a peace agreement signed on January 27, 1973, to establish peace in Vietnam and end the Vietnam War. The agreement was signed by the governments of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam), the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), the United States, and the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam (representing South Vietnamese communists). The Paris Peace Accords removed the remaining United States forces, and fighting between the three remaining powers temporarily stopped. The agreement's provisions were immediately and frequently broken by both North and South Vietnamese forces with no official response from the United States. Open fighting broke out in March 1973, and North Vietnamese offensives enlarged their territory by the end of the year. The war continued until the fall of Saigon to North Vietnamese forces in 1975. This photograph shows William P. Rogers, United States Secretary of State, signing the accords in Paris. Photograph credit: Robert Knudsen; restored by Yann Forget

Hi, in my country Wikipedia commons is blocked and we can't access or edit it. This is the reason I'm writing you here that sock of Gori Nadu is nominating files of Pakistani singers, actors and generals again and again by using ID PhaiTime (now indef blocked by User:Ymblanter) and which resembles mine. The reason on the the above mentioned file he gave that "all Muslims are pedophiles and rapists" (If you read carefully). In past you yourself kept it so I'm just requesting to look into it as I can't defend it on commons. Regards Paytime (talk) 12:35, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Moreover, same is the case with File:Pakistani superstar Waheed Murad 1962.jpg and you found no valid reason for deletion in 2021.

[edit]Hey there @Yann. I saw that recently you requested my page for deletion. And I know why. It's because I violated Wikipedia commons policies right? I'm extremely sorry. When I signed into Wikipedia there weren't any links where it took me to Wikipedia commons guidelines. I'm more of a Wikipedia editor than an Wikipedia Commons uploader… I'm extremely sorry I violated Wikipedia commons policies and I didn't mean to. I request you to give me one last chance to redeem myself. I also saw that when I uploaded my first photo on SwerteBOOM! you sent me a message saying me to stop violating Wikipedia commons policies. I didn't notice them untill you requested my Wikipedia Userpage for deletion. The other account suspected as a sockpuppet is my previous account. I logged out of it because I wasn't interested with it's name. I'm so sorry and I apologize from all of you… I won't make that mistake again Xensheroizex (talk) 16:30, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

The Palace of Truth is a three-act blank verse "Fairy Comedy" by W. S. Gilbert first produced at the Haymarket Theatre in London on 19 November 1870, adapted in significant part from Madame de Genlis's fairy story, Le Palais de Vérite. It was the first of several such plays that Gilbert wrote founded upon the idea of self-revelation by characters under the influence of some magic or supernatural interference. The play ran for approximately 140 performances and then toured the British provinces and enjoyed various revivals even well into the 20th century. There was also a New York production in 1910. This photograph shows the real-life married couple William Hunter Kendal and Madge Robertson as the lovers Prince Philamir and Princess Zeolide in the play's original 1870 production.

Whitehead's trogon (Harpactes whiteheadi) is a species of bird in the family Trogonidae. It is endemic to the island of Borneo, where it is an uncommon resident in primary mountain forest. One of Borneo's largest trogons at 29 to 33 cm (11 to 13 in) long, it is sexually dimorphic. The male is crimson on the head, nape, and underparts, with a black throat and grey chest; the rest of his upperparts are cinnamon-coloured. The female is similarly patterned, but cinnamon-brown where the male is scarlet. It is primarily an insectivore, but also eats various plant materials, including fruits and seeds. Other than the timing of its breeding—typically between April and June—little is known about its breeding biology. Whitehead's trogon has been classified as a near-threatened species with population numbers thought to be declining and Habitat loss a key threat. This Whitehead's trogon was photographed on Mount Kinubalu, Sabah, Malaysia. Photograph credit: JJ Harrison |

The The Mocking of Christ is a small 13th-century panel painting by the Italian artist Cimabue, in tempera on a poplar panel. It depicts the mocking of Jesus and is one of three panels known from Cimabue's Diptych of Devotion. It was discovered in the kitchen of an elderly woman in northern France. In October 2019 it sold at auction for €24 million, a record for an artwork predating the 16th century. It is believed to be the first work by Cimabue to have been auctioned. Following an export ban, it was acquired by the Louvre in 2023. Photograph. credit: Cimabue/Louvre Museum |

Wangath temple complex is a group of Hindu temple monuments in Wangath, close to Naranag, Jammu and Kashmir, India. The current structure was built by Lalitaditya Muktapida of the Karkota dynasty in the 8th century CE but are now ruins. The temple is constructed out of local grey granite and consists of two complexes, dedicated respectively to Shiva Jyeshthesa and Shiva Bhuteshwara, with a central pavilion in between. The temple marks the starting point of pilgrimages to the Gangabal Lake, a high-altitude alpine lake in the Himalayas considered by Kashmiri Hindus to be an abode of Shiva. This photograph shows the main temple of the site's western complex. Photograph credit: Basavaraj K. Korkar; edited by UnpetitproleX

The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. The core lineup of the band comprised John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Widely regarded as the most influential band of all time, they were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and the recognition of popular music as an art form. Rooted in skiffle, beat, and 1950s rock and roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in innovative ways. The band also explored music styles ranging from folk and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock. As pioneers in recording, songwriting, and artistic presentation, the Beatles revolutionized many aspects of the music industry and were often publicized as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements. This photograph shows the Beatles – from left to right, Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr – waving to a crowd of fans after arriving at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City on 7 February 1964, at the start of their first visit to the United States. Their visit marked the beginning of the British Invasion, a cultural phenomenon of the mid-1960s when rock and pop-music acts from the United Kingdom and other aspects of British culture became popular in the United States. The band's widespread popularity and the intense reception that greeted them was termed "Beatlemania". Photograph credit: United Press International; retouched by Yann Forget

Jorge Amado was a Brazilian writer of the modernist school. He remains the best-known of modern Brazilian writers, with his work having been translated into some 49 languages and popularized in film, including Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands in 1976, and having been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature 7 times. His work reflects the image of a Mestiço Brazil and is marked by religious syncretism. He depicted a cheerful and optimistic country that was beset, at the same time, with deep social and economic differences. Photograph. credit: Bernard Gotfryd; restored by Yann Forget
