Perhaps you shouldn't create the page unless you have some content to put in it.

That is how this Wikipedia thing works, y'know.

Old thread, but looks like they deleted my photo from the page, claiming a Wikimedia commons copyright issue. Funny, because I took the photo and uploaded it to Wikimedia  :palm:
Two more photos if anyone is interested in fixing it:

Old? If a bit of kit turns up in the mailbag that's as old as this thread you describe it as Vintage.  :)

Y'all might want to reconsider that second photo, there's a hint of buck-toothed goofiness to it that: 1) Doesn't represent what you really look like, 2) Just begs for a comedy caption or speech/thought bubble.
Anybody got a syringe I can use to squeeze the magic smoke back into this?

Apparently just vandalism: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Daphne_Lantier

There does not appear to be a useful history for a claimed copyright violation, so you'll have to re-upload it.

Fixed it. I used the first one, as I agree with Cerebus, it does look like you are staring directly into my soul.

I clarified in my changelog that you approved the image for use on Wikipedia, so hopefully it should never be taken down.

Edit: Right as I say that, it gets taken down by a bot for vandalism, warning me that there was no difference between edits, even though I obviously changed the image over.

I forget who I am sometimes, but then I remember that it's probably not worth remembering.

I made a Wikipedia account and put the image back on. I also reported the bot for a false positive, so hopefully it sticks. I also removed the part about the Visual Inspection Circuit Board.

Edit: I added a section on the EEVblog2 and EEVdiscovery channels. I'll pop in ever so often and make additions to the page. There is too little content for this interesting of a channel.
