An editor has asked for a deletion review of File:Poison Song Cover Image.jpeg. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 04:14, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: Three other files deleted along with this image are also being requested for a deletion review. To not spam you with 3 more templates, I'm letting you know here as they are all on March 7's deletion review. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 04:14, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Thanks. You've notified me for all the files which is the key thing. -- Whpq (talk) 15:01, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The close of Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2024 February 26#File:Tata WPL Logo.webp does not fix the issues highlighted. There are still 2 logos, where only 1 should be used, and generic logos being used in season articles in violation of WP:GETTY point 14. Please can you reopen this FFD or adequately address these concerns. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:21, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reaching out to me. I understand that those files have issues, but they were not nominated for FFD so taking any action to remove them as part of FFD would not be proper. You can boldly remove them from the articles if they are obviously in violation of policy, or nominate them at FFD. I understand Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy, but deletion is one of those times where being more strict matters. -- Whpq (talk) 14:59, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The convert of File:Tata WPL Logo.webp to non free that was done during the FFD discussion was incorrect, as it violates WP:GETTY point 14. As I pointed out at that discussion (comment dated 5:28 pm, 27 February 2024). Letting someone convert images from one incorrect template to a different incorrect template is unacceptable. Thus, the close was wrong to consider this an acceptable outcome, rather than deleting as invalid fair use. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:11, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. I messed up on my reading through that. I've reverted my close and relisted. Sorry for the screwup. -- Whpq (talk) 01:13, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:37, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have been contacting editors with experience in specific areas of editing to participate in a survey study. In order to limit access without forcing editors to disclose their identity in the survey form itself, I have been contacting them via email, which you have disabled for your account. If you would like to participate, please send me an email through Wikipedia and I will follow up with additional details and a link to the survey. Jonathan Engel (researcher) (talk) 13:33, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have enabled email. You can now send me the email. -- Whpq (talk) 14:42, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done, thanks! Jonathan Engel (researcher) (talk) 12:58, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of course drafts are a valid use for a sandbox. But we don't approve of self promotional resumes anywhere on Wikipedia:

As a youth activist and writer, he writes a lot on literature, politics, social development, language, and many more. His activism is becoming stronger, and one of his wishes is to partner with any non-governmental organisations, government, and individuals to initiate a programme that will curb unemployment, drug abuse, community violence, thuggery, insecurity, and other societal menaces bedevilling people around the globe so as to have prosperous, sound, and healthy environments all over the world.

Amir has come across a number of prominent and influential politicians (locals and nationals), intellectuals, diplomats, historians, and many leaders in Nigeria and other countries in the world, especially when he was doing his internship at the National Assembly sponsored by the Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC) with the support from the European Union (EU) in Nigeria. Some of his engagements and encounters include the past and present governors, senators, chairmen, party elders, and other notable people such as Sule Lamido, Badaru Abubakar, Ibrahim Hassan, Inuwa Kashifu Abdullahi, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Isah Ali Ibrahim Pantami, and Kashim Shettima. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 01:43, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a resume. It's a badly written draft. Yes it is promotional, but borderline on TNT. -- Whpq (talk) 02:14, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Wikipedia Editor,

I am writing to contest the proposed deletion of the draft concerning Ambarish Anand. The draft provides a factual and unbiased overview of Ambarish Anand's professional journey, accomplishments, and contributions in the fields of IT services and digital transformation.

The content is well-researched, sourced, and verified, in accordance with Wikipedia's guidelines for encyclopedic information. It offers valuable insights into the career and impact of an influential figure in the IT industry, without any promotional or biased language.

Removing this draft would withhold essential information from readers about a significant individual in the IT landscape. I believe the draft adheres to Wikipedia's standards and adds value to the platform by enhancing its knowledge repository. If there i anything specifc you want me to update, pls guide me and i will do it.

I kindly request a comprehensive review of the draft based on Wikipedia's guidelines and criteria.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Ambarish2anand (talk) 09:48, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've reviewed the deleted draft. It is pure, 100% promotional to the point where it would need to be completely rewritten. It was deleted appropriately under speedy deletion criterion G11. This is not just my opinion. It is also the opinion of two other administrators who also deleted the draft for the same reason. -- Whpq (talk) 12:29, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This page was recently deleted due to copyright infringement of the source of the information. It is correct that the article cited was the same copy as the entry. The inclusion of that link was a mistake. The link was meant to come from the agency's press release, which was copied by the source originally cited erroneously. Can we reinstate the page with a new link to: https://www.imls.gov/news/institute-museum-and-library-services-announces-acting-director

Gabguru (talk) 18:05, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've left a message on your talk page. Make sure you read it. I suggest you create a draft and put it through Articles for Creation. Copying a press release is not a good idea. -- Whpq (talk) 18:33, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added an historical photo of Yuko Mitsuya from 1976 to the article. Thank you for your guidance. TreeElf (talk) 05:10, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sir I didn't paid by any one but I am always interested in contribution to Wikipedia most especially the article from northern Nigeria. Bamalli01 (talk) 14:56, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I honestly didn't see that coming due to the fact that I took my time to just contribute to this article associated to the mentioned name above. Just like I usually do to other articles I dim fit, I researched on Google if there were other credible information attributed to him. I honestly didn't know it infrings a copyright on Wikipedia.

I would kindly ask sincerely to be given the opportunity to remove that citation that might have caused this deletion. I'm still on my way to learn more as a user on Wikipedia. When allowed on draft, I will take my time to get the right things done.

Thank you so much for your consideration. I really appreciate @Whpq Blackan007 (talk) 21:25, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violations are not restored. You can start a new draft writing it in your own words. -- Whpq (talk) 21:42, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Any replies will be here on-wiki and not through telephone/email or some other means. You will need to be much more specific with your request. What page are you inquiring about? -- Whpq (talk) 13:41, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violations will not be restored. -- Whpq (talk) 20:20, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know. Plus I rewrote it IceStorm 54 (talk) 20:21, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I rewote the article with my own wording, can you not review it again? IceStorm 54 (talk) 20:24, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It sure does. I see you've expanded the block. -- Whpq (talk) 01:56, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They had enough edits anyway, I can't figure out why but they clearly don't have a clue about how Wikipedia works and what's expected from editors. Doug Weller talk 06:59, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please reinstate the full draft, all the material quoted or drawn on for the page comes from the IBRG archives 1981 to 2000 which have been posted publicly previously on the Lipstick Socialist blog, run by IBRG member Bernadette Hyland, who created the IBRG wiikpedia draft. We are not contraveing copyright , all the material belongs to IBRG. We have no idea who the Anarchist Federation are, mentioned in the reason for deletion... they ,nothing to with IBRG but they have reposted posts that appeared first on the Lipstick Socialist posted by Bernadeette Hyland and written by IBRG member Patrick Reynolds So if anyone has contravened copyright it is this organisation . .

• Replied on user's talk page. Whpq (talk) 01:57, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why was my dispute in the talk page of this file regarding it totally ignored and the image deleted anyway without addressing my dispute?

Mtonna257 (talk) 15:13, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The deleting admin was User:Explicit so they would need to give you the official answer. But my likely accurate guess is that they did not ignore your dispute rationale. It's simply that it failed to convincingly address the reason for deletion. WP:NFC is pretty clear on this with Non-free content should not be used when a freely licensed file that serves the same purpose can reasonably be expected to be uploaded, as is the case for almost all portraits of living people. -- Whpq (talk) 15:38, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working on adding sources to the article right now. Someone just nominated the article for speedy deletion once again, though. Could you please remove their speedy deletion tag for the second time?--LadybugStardust (talk) 03:37, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You deleted my article Copy notation as invented but I didn't invent it, and it is in the Approximations section in User:JrandWP/Twenty-twos — Preceding unsigned comment added by Numspan33 (talk • contribs) 20:48, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is completely unsourced, and from what I could see, likely would remain that way. But, I've restored it to Draft:Copy notation so you can work on it. -- Whpq (talk) 21:00, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems i improperly uploaded File:Official Portrait of Emperor Haile Selassie I.jpg on The English Wiki, it should and now i have uploaded it on Commons, since according to the "Copyright Act 1956" Any work before June 1956 is in the Public Domain whether Government Works of Private Works, for the Painting dating to 1954, this is because it appears Edward Copnall painted it while Selassie received his Order of the Garter which was in 1954. So this work does appear overwhelmingly to be a 2 Dimensional Photography of an Artwork dated to the early 50s which makes it Public Domain. You could delete it from the English Wiki since again it its supposed to be on Commons CtasACT (talk) 21:55, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
