The new image you are trying to upload to Jodie Starling.jpg is probably not going to work until Maurice fixes whatever it wrong with the thumbnail system. You'll just have to wait it out. :( Chekhov MacGuffin ^talk 05:43, 12 September 2016 (CEST)

The Thumbnail errors still ongoing and not yet fixed. Can you fix the Thumbnail errors. --Mohammedalkhater (talk) 02:33, 15 September 2016 (CEST)

I can't fix it. The thumbnails not showing up are caused by a malfunction of the wiki software that builds and maintains the pages. That is something the owner of the software, Maurice, must fix. I don't have the database source code, I'm just a mod. Chekhov MacGuffin ^talk 18:32, 15 September 2016 (CEST)

Could you stop changing all the solutions to "the culprit is x", please?

There is no rule that the culprit has to be stated in a certain way. Trying to force a one-size-fits-all situation can remove context, such as removing tense (past murder versus present murder), or making complex situations with piecewise culprits more confusing. As long as the whodunnit information is reasonably clear, there is no reason to stick to a formula. If you want a formula, please create a culprit template and use that in addition to the free text.

Look, I'm not saying The culprit is x and never say it. --Mohammedalkhater (talk) 02:45, 15 September 2016 (CEST)

I am not saying you should never write "The culprit is x". All I am saying is that it is a bad idea to make every resolution start that way when there may better ways to write the solution that are unique for every case. Sometimes cases are tricky and there are several crimes with different culprits or multiple part answers. Sometimes it makes more sense to write a little lead-in about something Conan does to reveal the truth before explaining who the culprit is. That's okay. The bold names help people find the culprit right away if it is not in the first sentence.

If you want a formulaic answer that is the same for every page, it is better to create a solution answer template to paste in the resolution. The people writing the summary text are free to write without being unduly confined, and the template creates a pattern that is the same on every page.
