Hi you recently speedy deleted three images under CFD F1:
The nominator did not declare which images they were supposedly redundant to, yet you deleted them anyway. Moreover, F1 requires that the redundant image be an exact pixel for pixel duplicate. These three images are not the same, although they are similar. They were used to illustrate problems with rescaling raster images and thus one of them was designed to be grainy and out of focus. Please restore. -- Selket Talk 16:55, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi.
can you show me or tell me anything about the deletion of File:Triton wearing Dunlop TT100 tyres.jpg as I missed it being flagged up or discussed. It must have looked something like these [1] [2] as I make a point of searching for only CC tagged photos on Flickr.
Thanks. --Bridge Boy (talk) 22:52, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
This deletion seems inappropriate. J Milburn's fair-use dispute was based on an interpretation of the NFCC that is not supported by current practice on the basis that there was "no consensus" on the application of policy to this situation. Cover art has been repeatedly accepted under NFCC#8 if it is being used for visual identification in the event of sourced commentary of the work the cover represents, which is why album covers on album articles are consistently accepted even if the cover itself is not discussed. Nowhere is that same allowance denied to articles where the album is the subject of commentary, but is not the overall subject of the article. I changed the article and rationale to insure that there was sourced commentary of the album to clearly justify keeping the cover art under NFCC, so I am not clear why this was speedied on the basis of F7.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 21:34, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
I nominated the OMAPI article for deletion a couple of years ago, because I didn't think it was notable. However, it appears that there is some demand for the article, because User:Pratyeka undeleted it. I can't remember what was on the talk page, but if possible it might be good to undelete it as well. I don't see a way to do that, so I'm asking you to do it. This is not urgent, and if you don't ever get to it it won't be a tragedy—it's entirely possible that what's there is irrelevant anyway. It just seems like it would be better to start from what was there than to start over.

You deleted File:Propaganda Dc.jpg with the comment "F6: Non-free media file with no non-free use rationale". There should have been more time for people to add a rationale before it was speedily deleted. Please restore the image so I can put a rationale on it. Thanks.

Hi,
You recently deleted the image "File:Raghab Bandyopadhyay.jpg", which I originally posted. When this image was tagged for deletion because of inadequate proof of permission to post it, I obtained that permission from the author and emailed it to permissions-en@wikimedia.org on July 9, 2012. I never received any notification that my email had been received or processed.
The permission email is copied below. May I re-post the image?
Thanks

I saw awhile ago that you deleted the page for Richard R. Murray citing "Expired PROD, concern was: Subject of this (apparently autobiographical) article fails the notability tests of WP:BIO, in particular the absence of 3d party coverage of the individual". I was in the process of editing the article to address the concerns listed, and I did not finish my edits before the PROD expired. Is there any way you could restore that article provided I finish updating it? I was not the original author of the page (nor am I Richard Murray), but I would like to correct the language so that it no longer appears autobiographical and biased. Thanks for your time!

Hello, You deleted the Concerned United Birthparents page. Iis an important American group in the story of adoption. It still exists and has an active membership. The Boston Globe and other newspapers wrote about it. TV carried stories about it. How did you decide it was not notable?

Can you please restore the file File:Movies es5-20030823.png which you deleted a week ago? I'm the original uploader and was just taking a wikibreak during the one week period I had to respond to the issue after it was raised on my talk page.
The speedy deletion justification was that it is fairuse image that was orphaned. The reason it was orphaned is that the link in the article was removed automatically when the image was deleted (due to a misunderstanding about its content) and then restored earlier in the year. I'd appreciate if you restore it and then leave a message or ((talkback)) on my page so I can see it and make sure it is used again on the Earth Station 5 where it never should have been removed in the first place. Thanks! 01:45, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi there
I put up a page for our magazine Windpower Monthly in 2010 and have just found out it was deleted in May. I'm not entirely sure why although I suspect it's because I didn't add enough external links. My apologies, as I my experience on Wikipedia is pretty limited. Just so you're aware, WPM is a real magazine and is the oldest English language publication in existence.
Is there any chance we can get the old page back and make the necessary changes, or at least create a new one that doesn't fall foul of any issues?
Many thanks

Hi there, since I reverted some vandalism on your user page, could you do me a favor and take a look at the recent edit-warring at List_of_haplogroups_of_historical_and_famous_figures? At first it appeared to me, anyway, that the person cited did not exist; then when I relaized that the name was wrongly transliterated, a newbie and his sockpuppets continued to insert trivia about Yi Sun-sin and nonsensical word salad into this list about haplotypes.

Hi. Whoever thought that the subject of CAGE (Commercial and Government Entity) codes was not sufficiently notable to have a WP article simply happened to be someone who's ignorant of the defense contracting industry in the U.S. The subject is indeed notable enough to have an article, but they wouldn't know that if they don't work in that industry. I would have explained this at the proposed-deletion discussion, but apparently it was only available for 7 days and I was not aware at the time that it existed. Just letting you know, per the instructions given upon recreating, that I will be recreating the article. Thanks. — ¾-10 02:40, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Explicit,
I noticed the article Logitech Harmony Remote was deleted in April. The non-notability of the article did not clarify enough. I wanted to gather information before I created the article again and if within reason, create with information regarding the different remotes, history, etc. Please give insight to the reason for deletion and would it be possible for the article to be restarted as this is yet another mainstream product of Logitech. Thank you. CBassett1 01:03, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Explicit,
I would like to appeal regarding the deletion of the article on Mohammed Saeme on the grounds of lacking references to attest notability and having almost no mention on Google books/News. A quick search on Google would show numerous international maritime conferences of which he is referred to as being an international expert. Also, webpages exist that verify that he is indeed a founding chairperson of internationally recognized body on maritime health. Should additional references be needed, I would gladly provide it.

Hi there, I'm new to Wikipedia and have tried to read up on Non-free media use. I thought the image of Lady Gaga accepting the Video Music Award for Video of the Year wearing the "meat dress" would be "fair use" because no non-copyrighted image can exist because the dress was worn during a copyrighted T.V. program. It was also worn for press photos after the award show, but from my research all those images are also copyrighted. It was again worn the same night on The Ellen Degeneres Show, copyrighted. The entire reason the article Meat dress of Lady Gaga exists is because of her winning the Video of the Year award that night wearing the dress. I can't imagine a free image of the dress existing and I've looked. Is there anyway to get an image for that article without violating Wikipedia's policies? Just to be clear, I'm not questioning your decision, I know you know what you're doing. I'm just curious. :) --CityMorgue (talk) 00:57, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi,
We have had a problem with vandals in the past - which Rob Jones dealt with [from wiki]
I have all the emails regarding this.
Now you have taken down the page??????
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkey_Jones
his page has been deleted. The deletion and move log for the page are provided below for reference.
00:25, 16 August 2012 Explicit (talk | contribs) deleted page Inkey Jones (Expired PROD, concern was: deletion requested by non-autoconfirmed user on talk page with rationale "uses self-published source, does not meet notability criteria")
I am Inkey's agent and as stated before I did not set up this page it was put up by fan/s
I have never written or edited anything on the entry other than to take out the made up stuff put in by the vandal
Why have you taken down the page?
Everything was 100% accurate - and yes there are lots of credit's not listed but I did not wish to add anything myself.
I find it frustrating that you have taken down the page.
Is this more issues from the previous vandal?
If so I have all the emails from us to rob jones - would you like a copy?

Sorry found the response from Rob earlier in the year:
You seem to have an IP that does not like Inkey Jones. I've given the last one a warning - probably never read it as they are probably on a dynamic IP system, and will change IP again. They certainly should not be adding "unsourced negative data to a living person". Since I cannot stop them - as they change address - I've semi protected the page - I've also confirmed popetman - so you can edit it (you were 4 edits short of being auto-confirmed). Don't worry that you are his agent - we always allow anyone to remove vandalism, even if they have a conflict of interest.
Yours sincerely,

As such I have reloaded these images with evidence of permission available at http://robertmasters.com.au/?page_id=135.

Please consider reverting your close of the XFD discussion on File:Ethnic cleansing of Serbs from Croatia.jpg. You closed it for F5, but the XFD was raised on NFC content grounds. The nominator removed it from the article after nominating for XFD and on the same NFC grounds. The XFD discussion should be allowed to be closed as an NFC debate, which will determine whether or not the image can be restored to the article. Thanks, SpinningSpark 12:26, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
Just a quick one.
Someone has again decided that this page should be deleted.
They also put false info up in regards to his name and DOB
I think the person has also asked for citations even for things that have them already
I'm not sure how to link/do citations - could you explain to me how I am meant to put the citations in, so I can do this, and is there anyway to stop this harassment?
Thanks again for any help you can give me

Hi popetman here again. The only reason the page was semi protected was to stop a vandal that was constantly changing the page and making things up. Petergionis also put inaccurate information up - not sure why. My guess is that Petergionis may be the same person who was involved previously? But that is purely a guess. If the page was to become unprotected would it not then just become a 'war' again? I don't want to spend all my time editing (restoring) the page. I have not added anything to the listing ever. I can add some citations - I just need to know how to. Also the link at the bottom to his website goes to an article the BBC did on Inkey and not to his website - but I don't know how to change links.

Hi thanks for your help so far. Though I don't understand how this person can seek to delete the entry and say it needs citations - then spend the next few days vandalising it with things that make no sense???? But putting that crazyiness aside....
How do I sort out the citations? I'm sorry that I'm a bit clueless. I have read the page on citations and don't get what I am meant to do? I have sourced three or four of the citations asked for - I just don't know how to enter the links????? Thanks for any further help. I have contacted Ron Jones again and hope he can protect / stop this editing war. Anyway I was just asking about where/what to do with the links for the citations????

I thought I would update this - my client has contact me that he is getting threatening emails from the person vandalising his wiki page. How do I stop this person. And is there anyway to trace the person for in case further action is needed. Also again I don't know how to put citations in - is there someone who I can email them to????

Hi there, I notice that you deleted the Enterprise Zone map from Baltimore. I think I explained pretty well why we weren't going to find other images to describe the whole Enterprise Zone, and why no one would be harmed by a fair use recreation of this map. The deletion process has been pretty frustrating because no explanation or response has been provided at any point. Perhaps if you're going to delete this image, you could find another image for this section...? Or take a look at my rationale for keeping and possibly restore it?

Hi
Sorry to bother you again - if I should be emailing someone else please give me their details.
I'm not sure how to do citations but I will try next week to work it out, but all the info was put up by fans and is easily sourced.
I just have an issue of somebody putting up a fake name and DOB. I don't know why they would do this? I'm not sure what they think they can gain?
I guess it's the same person that tried to delete the entry and vandalised it before??? But it's becoming a bit of an editing war. They put it up and I just put it back to how it was. I have not changed any details on this entry ever. But I won't allow misinformation to be put up.
Can you advise as to what I should do?

Just to spare a possible AfD on this; you rejected a prod because you saw the deletion as contested, but the article creator's comments on the talk page were in regard to the speedy deletion the page was given in the first ten minutes (when it was just an infobox). The editor raised no objection to the prod on the article's talk page (he said "but my brother's self-published novel is listed on Amazon!" on his own talk page, which the mechanisms of WP:PROD do not appear to care about), nor did he make any edits to the article subsequently.
If an editor giving any kind of rationale on his own talk page is enough to stave off a prod, though, that's fine, I'll stand corrected and put it up for full discussion as an AfD. --McGeddon (talk) 15:40, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

I also noticed that you hadn't participated in the discussion, so I was wondering if you were planning on closing it or if you had chosen to leave it for someone else. It's been listed for two weeks now, 7 days longer than mandated at WP:PUF and as the author I'm particularly interested in seeing it being put to bed, whether it results in a deletion or not.

Hello again user:Explicit, I want to explain that I was considering if I would like to have the Wikipedia article on the Japanese political party called the Environmental Green Political Assembly restored, but I don't want to for the following reasons, which you can contact me again if you want on my users talk page. I found some years ago from maybe this following Google English translation of a Japanese Wikipedia article on this political party led me to one of its members as its representatives called Atsuo Nakamura who was a former writer and actor who is the reason I reject this party because I think the hugely flawed English Google translation of this Japanese Wikipedia article on him may have been saying he was a member of a South Korean cult called the Unification Church led By its leader called Sun Myung Moon. I had no idea this Japanese political party accepted this.
I think I tried to understand (maybe in relation to politics on parts of the right of the political spectrum) how members of the Unification Church & its leader could show evidence for the following belief which if you here to see my question about it, didn't give much evidence (physical or not) to explain how & why these two dictators have been morally reformed via the Unification Church's teachings. So for those reasons I reject this party but if there are any other concerns you have about this please contact me on my user talk page.

Hello!
I suppose the File:Vicky Donor.jpg was deleted per this discussion Wikipedia:Possibly_unfree_files/2012_August_5#File:Vicky_Donor.jpg. I guess the reason for nomination was that the file had a wrong license and hence was deleted.
Film posters, even though non-free, can stay on Wikipedia as they satisfy WP:NFCI. (Being Admin i suppose you are aware of that.) But i don't see how deletion was necessary?

it was a simple and technical description of how the vineyards is and work. Moreover that page was a translation of a similar text written both in Italian and German.

Hi Explicit, may I ask what is the policy for deletion of an article? Specifically, an article I created more than 5 years ago has recently been deleted by you. The article in question is Shattaline, deleted for the reason "(Expired PROD, concern was: non-notable company.)". I am disappointed that it was deleted without any direct notification to its originator (I believed it to be on my watch list but perhaps it isn't, as I received no notification). I was surprised that, having originally been accepted as being sufficiently notable, it has remained for more than 5 years without any previous concerns being expressed. What is the definition for a "notable" company? I consider this company (Shattaline) was notable because it created a unique and patented artistic process in the 1960s; products which Shattaline made by this process were popular during the company's existence and are now a significant collectors' item, as can be judge from the number of items offered for sale on sites such as ebay either under the company's name or misspelt as "shatterline". The founder of the company was a noted sculptor in his own right, having featured on British Pathe News films in the 1960s. I can provide additional reasons if needed and further information can be found at [4] (a dedicated site which has received in excess of 10,000 views). I would be grateful if you would give proper and full consideration to reinstaement of this page. Thank you Weydonian (talk) 12:04, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

hi, you want to delete the wikipedia article because there is not enough evidence. i have said before that me and Frank Buglioni, who the article is about, created the page together, therefore he put all of the information in there which is 100% accurate because it is coming from himself. I used 11 or so articles to get the background information in, and then Frank Buglioni added and edited the information to make it more reliable and accurate. i dont understand why you want to delete the page, if you want to contact him and ask if the information is reliable and accuarate, then so be it, i feel that it is not fair that you are going to delete the page.

Hi. You deleted Fruit salad tree as a "Hoax, very little context and notability". While it is certainly not a hoax (various apple and pear cultivars in particular have been commercially available as family trees for decades), and I don't know what context was given, I am inclined to agree that it is insufficiently notable to warrant an article of its own. I have added a section (references currently lacking) to Fruit Tree Propagation, but I have no idea how to create a redirect such that someone (like me) searching for Fruit Salad Tree would be redirected to the last section of Fruit Tree Propogation.

I have not edited wikipedia in several years and am not as knowledgeable about policy and structure here as I used to be. Sorry in advance if my question has an obvious answer I'm not seeing..
I came across this article and am a bit perplexed as to why it still exist. The sources are dubious and the article seems like original research. All of my searches on the subject bring me back to this article. One of the references for the article is a forum post from 2001. The other is a text document that has most of its sources as dead links. Searches for the "The Descendants of Theodora Comnena of Trebizond" also leads itself back to this article. The article has been in this state since 2006.
From the article's history it seems you were the one who restored the article. From what I understand the article was deleted for not following the notability guidelines. I can't find an AFD for the article or a request for restoration. I was hoping you could point me in their direction. --M8v2 (talk) 03:23, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
I've been told from the Wiki Help that you deleted pages for SEC football because they existed elsewhere. WHY? There is no link to other info on there and searches do not provide the info I got from 2009-2012 SEC football searches. Why would you delete these pages and not link to the original pages? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.229.173.228 (talk) 06:01, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
Please restore File:423083main Shannahs 11-1600 1600-1200.jpg. The deletion discussion pointed to a lack of source for verification. Unfortunately Not all imagery from the early part of the space program has a URL that can be pointed to. Unfortunately, Kennedy Center Photo Archives is the best that can be done at this time. --RadioFan (talk) 00:26, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
The deletion log shows you deleted File:Safe house in Faisalabad where Abu Zubaydah was captured.jpg. Your entry in the deletion log says: "Deleted because "F7: Violates non-free content criteria". using TW".
It is my understanding that when an image has a correctly formed explanation as to why it fulfills the nfcc there is supposed to be a discussion as to whether it that explanation is or isn't satisfactory.
Could you please direct my attention to where the discussion of whether the explanation was satisfactory was discussed? Geo Swan (talk) 06:58, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi there. I only just now noticed that you deleted this file back in May. While your deletion was technically correct, the file wasn't being used due to a minor typo in some wiki markup in the article Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon. You can see the error here in an accidental breaking of the image box. Is it possible to restore that file? I can immediately restore its proper usage and FUR information if necessary. Thanks. —Torchiest talkedits 21:19, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I've noticed that you've killed this entry. The rationale/explanation was that he didn't play in a pro league, which simply is not true, as Bencun featured in the Bosnian Premier League, the top tier of that country, as can be verified here (among other places): http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/mateo-bencun/leistungsdaten/spieler_160667_2010.html
Obviously not THE most famous of players, but one can do far worse.

I noticed the page was deleted, and I was wondering could the page be undeleted? I realize that this author isn't particularly notable in English, but he is publishing author in Russian, his books is coming to print in Hebrew and he is working reporter in the US for the Russian media. I would have objected to the deletion during the prod period, but I just gave birth to my baby, and couldn’t give enough attention to the Wiki. Much appreciate your help User:Lamerkhav 21:08, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

I highly doubt it's anything personal, the user probably thinks the subject is not notable, even with the content given in the article. If you haven't already, you should over the general notability guideline and the notability guideline for people, and base your keep arguments at the AFD off of that. — ξxplicit 01:23, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

As far as can tell this was deleted with no warning (e.g. on the article’s talk page). It would be nice to have it back, since it directly illustrates the software described by the article it was used in. It’s hard to imagine anything that better qualifies as fair use. For what it’s worth, I’m sure Allan, the software’s author, could be convinced to release a screenshot of TextMate under some kind of permissive license; the application is now open source. –jacobolus (t) 02:49, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
Please reconsider your deletion of the many car photos as unsourced. You'll notice they list the source as promotional material sent out by the agency - the uploader was a collector of said material. I believe they are sourced properly. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 03:17, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi Explicit,
Please restore the image File:Court Moor School Logo.jpg as this file meets the Fair Use criteria - in particular it meets the ((Non-free seal)) licencing criteria. Once the file has been restored, I will ensure that the licencing tag is in place.Martinvl (talk) 06:12, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

You recently deleted Steven Beattie who is an Irish professional footballer. This page has been deleted. The deletion and move log for the page are provided below for reference.
The player in question got a season ending injury last year so never played a game with Puerto Rico Islanders, however he is back playing professionally with UMF Tindastoll in the Icelandic first division.

Hi there. I saw that you deleted this for reason G8, but as far as I can tell its target still exists. Can you give me a link to where it was pointing and/or restore it? I moved it crosswiki to here, and I thought it was correct to leave a redirect from here. —Torchiest talkedits 12:41, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
You deleted the stub telling that you couldn't google anything about it.
I cannot make more than a stub of it, but references are:
Software and Documentation are available via the GELLMU page of CTAN.
GELLMU is one of many competing approaches to get some SGML from TeX. GELLMU is a "See also" in LaTeX2HTML. In some private notes of mine I am gathering such projects (the descriptions may improve next days).
The CTAN Page on TeX4ht says that the latter approaches GELLMU with respect to certain "robustness" characteristics. TeX4ht in turn seems to be so important that notable maintainers of TeX software (Karl Berry former TUG president and maintainer of TeX Live) have taken over maintenance, i.e., there are users who need it. I must confess that I don't know how many users GELLMU has.
The relevance could derive from the fact that when I sit together with professional TeX users, web designers, and uses of ebooks, these matters are often discussed.
Could this material make it worth reviving the article? I had actually looked for it when I tried to improve my notes about the subject, I had seen the article earlier. We might ask the author to fill out the form as in TeX4ht. --Lueckless (talk) 13:40, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Explicit, The referenced photo is William Jennings Bryan with Sioux chiefs at Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, 1901, part of the Johnston (Frances Benjamin) Collection with the Library of Congress. Please see http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/fbj/item/2004665752/ for the details. I respectfully believe this photo to be in the public domain and hope that you will approve undeleting it. Thank you. Richlevine00 (talk) 16:49, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
Your position relies on the presumption of/or possibility of a copyright. The Rights Advisory on this image is: "No known restrictions on publication." The Library of Congress declares that the text "No known restrictions on publication" means that the Library is unaware of any restrictions on the use of the image. There are generally two cases where this phrase is used: 1. There was a copyright and it was not renewed. 2. The image is from a late 19th or early 20th century collection for which there is no evidence of any rights holder; and:
a. There are no copyright markings or other indications on the images to indicate that they were copyrighted or otherwise restricted, AND b. The records of the U.S. Copyright Office do not indicate any copyright registration, AND
c. The acquisition paperwork for the collection does not contain any evidence of any restrictions, AND
d. Images from the collection have been used and published extensively without anyone stepping forward to claim rights.
e. These facts do not mean the image is in the public domain, but do indicate that no evidence has been found to show that restrictions apply.
Under these circumstances, this historic image of Chief Blue Horse should in good faith be available to the public on Wikipedia, and I hope you will reconsider your initial determination. Respectfully, Richlevine00 (talk) 22:51, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
