Wellcome deletion requests

[edit]

Hi Deadstar - thanks for the Wikipedia message, thought it might be easier to reply here. Commons:Batch_uploading/Wellcome_Images should hopefully give some context for the files - they were batch uploaded in 2014 and there were some challenges linked with the huge number being put up - see this 2016 follow-up for example: Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Wellcome DR request for RAMC. I think the images recently flagged will be the same situation as many of the RAMC ones.

I wasn't there back then, and am no longer there now, but I hope that context is helpful and if there's anything further I can do to help you get in touch with anyone, let me know. Zeromonk (talk) 14:28, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Zeromonk: Thank you - I think I've done what we can do for now so we'll see. I don't think there's a current WiR at Wellcome I take it? -- Deadstar (msg) 14:35, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! There is no longer a WiR but there are folks who can do some editing still, I believe. Zeromonk (talk) 10:58, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
File:PHOTO OF OLABODE SAMUEL ENIOLA SHONIREGUN.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

In addition, I noticed that you've made a malformed deletion request: not including year, month, or day; not creating the subpage; not notifying; and not transcluding. Here, {{Delete}} is not for speedy deletion, please see COM:DP. When you want to delete a page by manually using the {{Delete}} template (rather than the automatic Nominate for deletion or Nominate category for discussion tool in the Tools menu on the sidebar provided by the AjaxQuickDelete gadget per subpolicy procedures COM:DR#Starting requests and COM:CFD#Starting requests), you MUST follow the instructions in the template, including the "Click here to show further instructions" portion (or Commons:Deletion requests/Listing a request manually policy or the "By hand" portion of subpolicy procedure COM:CFD#Starting requests, normally collapsed), otherwise you will create a lot of work for other people. Warning: such edits are not tolerated and have led to account blocks, as "We cannot work here with people who are not willing to follow our procedures, in particular for deletion requests."   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:47, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I apologise, not sure what happened. -- Deadstar (msg) 16:46, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Warning sign
This file may be deleted.
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Johnny Appleseed, front of Lakewood civic auditorium.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!
