thread_title: Was he a spy?

message: The man in the picture used in the page is not Louis Adamic the slovene-american writer. I can assure about this, I've done academic research about him in Princeton, where his papers are kept, and seen a lot of pictures of Adamic. You can check an original Adamic picture on Princeton University website http://findingaids.princeton.edu/getEad?eadid=C0246&kw=
The man in this picture is another person.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.10.39.33 (talk) 11:06, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think that the facial features of the person on both pictures are so different that it couldnt've been the same person (just older on the Princeton's one). — Yerpo Eh? 13:53, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't want to bother but I thought the issue was serious enough as to contact the source of the original picture (Digital Library of Slovenja) for a check. 
They answered immediately, this is the response:

Dear Mr. ****, you are right, the person portrayed in the photography is not Louis Adamic, the writer. It's Emil Adamič, the comoposer. The photo has been removed. Thank you for the information. Regards, team dLib.

I had no account on the Engish WP, because I have no time to contribute, but I created one in order not to report this issue as an anonymous user. Now I don't know exactly how to proceed to have this picture changed. I know I could remove the wrong one and explain the reason, but I'd prefer some more experienced and legitimate user do this using my informations. 
Another problem is that the  picture used in the English WP disseminated in many other versions: how can be fixed this?
In the meantime I will try to understand if one of Louis Adamic pictures I digitalized in other archives can be used in the public domain. 
Thank you for any response!--Andrew Nino (talk) 15:07, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

text: You don't have to be anxious about your status compared to "legitimate" users, because this is just how Wikipedia functions - by incremental steps towards the common goal (which includes correcting mistakes) by more or less anonymous contributors. The file itself is hosted at Wikimedia Commons which is a central repository for multimedia from which every Wikipedia hotlinks the picture. At the bottom of the page, you can see all the Wikipedias that use it; if you're prepared to fix this yourself, remove the image from all those articles by referencing this discussion in the edit summary. Otherwise, someone else will do it, eventually. I corrected the description and requested the file to be renamed because this is slightly complicated for new editors... and that's basically it. In any case, thanks for taking time to check this. — Yerpo Eh? 16:05, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Not his picture

message: Milford, New Jersey as his place of residence is incorrect. His mailing address might have been so, but he lived in Holland Township, New Jersey. There is no post office in Holland, so all their residents’ mail goes through Milford. There is a road in Holland Twp. called “Adamic Hill” where he lived. 207.44.76.202 (talk) 04:33, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, I went ahead and changed the location of his residence/death to Riegelsville, NJ based on this and this contemporary news articles on his death. Riegelsville NJ seems to be just outside of Holland township/Hunterdon county, right across from Riegelsville PA. Paulie 27 talk 18:44, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Milford, NJ 

message: This page is in the following categories:  1951 suicides, suicides by firearm in New Jersey. I know that Adamic's official cause of death by the county was suicide, but at what point does the testimony from himself and others about threats he received, on top of the suspicious circumstances of his death warrant a change to category:unsolved deaths or some similar?
