How do I replace an old image file that I uploaded with a new one? I would like to delete the old file if possible... SCGamecock1211 (talk) 16:00, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The way you did it at File:United States of Jihad cover resized.jpg, via the "Upload a new version of this file" link in the "File history" section. Deleting the older version of the file requires an admin; you can summon one by adding the {{Orphaned non-free revisions}} template. In this case I'll delete the older version of the book cover. If you upload the new version under a new name, you can tag the older with the {{Di-orphaned fair use}} template. Huon (talk) 20:39, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Huon: I have a similar situation with File:Manhunt_cover_resized.jpg. Did I format the deletion request correctly on that one? Thanks in advance. SCGamecock1211 (talk) 20:11, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thanks, everything is OK there. The older image will be deleted in a few days. Huon (talk) 21:38, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tip of the day...

Lead Section Size

The lead section of a Wikipedia article is the section before the first heading. The table of contents, if displayed, generally appears between the lead section and the first subheading.

Rule of thumb: If a topic deserves a heading or subheading, then it deserves short mention in the lead.

The lead section should contain up to four paragraphs, depending on the length of the article, and should provide a preview of the main points the article will make, summarizing the primary reasons the subject matter is interesting or notable. The lead should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, should be written in a clear and accessible style, should be carefully sourced like the rest of the text, and should encourage the reader to want to read more. The following table has some general guidelines for the length of the lead section:

< 15,000 characters	medium size	> 30,000 characters
one or two paragraphs	two or three paragraphs	three or four paragraphs
