[edit]

Add double-brackets around ThrustSSC so people who click the image will be able to get information on it. equazcion 08:29, 15 Oct 2013 (UTC)

Note: Image is on commons and you should be able to edit the file description page there. --Redrose64 (talk) 14:56, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The image is on the main page, whose cascade protection apparently extends to commons images. equazcion 14:59, 15 Oct 2013 (UTC)
Not in fact local cascade protection (which prevents non-admins uploading local copies or changing the file description if the image is hosted here), but cascading protection on Commons. Images from Commons on en-WP's main page are included by a bot at Commons:Commons:Auto-protected files/wikipedia/en, giving them cascading full protection at Commons and saving en-WP admins from having to upload local copies to stop unwanted changes to the Commons versions affecting the main page here. So en-WP admins can't edit the file description, and you'll have to request the change at Commons. BencherliteTalk 17:09, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) In which case you need a commons admin, not a Wikipedia admin. An edit protected request here will not be noticed at commons, where you should use {{edit request}} on the page commons:File talk:ThrustSSC front.jpg. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:11, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ah I see. Thanks for the explanation(s). equazcion 17:14, 15 Oct 2013 (UTC)
