Talk:Joseph Stalin

This has a broken image link and when I tried to fix it I get an error message: 'Could not open lock file for "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/1/13/Stalin_portrait.png". Make sure your upload directory is configured correctly and your web server has permission to write to that directory. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgUploadDirectory for more information.' Samoyed (talk) 12:44, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for reporting, but this is a known issue which has been discussed in the Matrix chatroom which is linked on the front page of this site. We are waiting on a fix, and until then it seems users cannot fix broken image links or add new images or files. Harrystein (talk) 18:24, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Name spelling

Stalin is most commonly known in English as "Joseph Stalin". Just like "Leon Trotsky" or "Peter Kropotkin". I am in favor of keeping the alternate names in the lede; I don't find them cluttery. Harrystein (talk) 15:16, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
