Undeletion request

Hi you just mentioned at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Ahmad Vaezi.jpg, to feel free to request undeletion. I had already updated the source to the original [1] which literally states at the bottom "using the content is allowed by citing this source" which I have. Best. Xpander (talk) 15:23, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

I'm confused. The source was rasanews.ir, but the template was {{Tasnim}}. There's no indication that the photo was taken by Tasnim. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 21:03, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

@The Squirrel Conspiracy, The Template:Tasnim is probably correct (as it mentions CC-4.0 at the bottom) but in the request I provided a more original source [2] which states Template:Attribution only license. Xpander (talk) 08:16, 7 December 2025 (UTC)

Kindly reminder. Xpander (talk) 11:19, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, I think it's best if you go through COM:UNDEL. I'm clearly missing something here. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 07:49, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

File:Umar khalid (cropped).jpg

Was there EXIF in the original version, and if so, did it get stripped with your edit? JayCubby (talk) 00:09, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

There was not metadata in the original version. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 02:02, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Resolved

Deleted file

Hello, regarding your deletion of the file:عبد القيوم المقدمي.jpg, I would appreciate it if you could reconsider. I need the image because I will be participating in a Wikimedia conference and they have requested a personal photo with the proper license. Some of my colleagues have photos published on Wikimedia Commons already, What's the problem with my picture 🙃? thanks. Abade ^{Talk with me} 17:35, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

 Done Sorry about that. I should never have deleted it in the first place, since you have several thousand contributions. Not sure how I didn't notice that before. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 19:26, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

No problem, it's all good ✅. Abade ^{Talk with me} 20:20, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

Revision Deletions

Help,

I request to have my revisions in the following articles:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_YF120 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_F118 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_F101 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprotor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Boeing_V-22_Osprey

Delete revision text Delete edit comment Delete editor's username or IP Suppress data from administrators as well as others.

I request for all of these options executed, and all of my edits completely expunged from revision history logs.

If you can't help me with my request, will you please forward my request to another administrator willing to handle RevisionDelete requests? Overlordchaos1000000 (talk) 22:34, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

State flags in 3:2 aspect ratio

You were the one who deleted some US state flags in 3:2 aspect ratio a couple months ago, which I strongly disagree with. Look, I know they are not the correct aspect ratio for some of them, but that doesn't necessarily mean the files are out of scope. I am one of the individuals who find them useful because I use them in projects for consistency. So it would be nice to see the files again, as I know for a fact that they are in scope. ~2025-33541-27 (talk) 18:13, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Category:Computer Entertainer

Hi, It seems many of these files have a display issue. Apparently just reuploading fix it: File:Computer Entertainer 3-11.pdf. And the files should be license reviewed, just in case, the source disappears. Regards, Yann (talk) 19:03, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

The display issue happens to a lot of PDFs. I think the WMF needs to fix something. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 19:55, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

Still at it

Can you please block Excalibur.with no talk. Please? I'm trying to sort books and now twice he's abused his talkpage and I get notices. Please block his talkpage. Please? Geoffroi 01:57, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

He's still attacking me on his talk page! Can you please take his talk away? He's abused his talk three times now! Will you please stop him from trolling Commons users? Geoffroi 02:10, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

What exactly was inappropriate about his user page? Trade (talk) 19:20, 18 November 2025 (UTC)

He was using it solely to whinge about his EnWiki ArbCom block. I considered it part of the same NOTHERE behavior that led to his block, so I wiped it. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 20:32, 18 November 2025 (UTC)

Please reconsidering deletion

File talk:Sportswear & Sneaker Fetish Pride Flag (f.A.b) copie 1,5 for Screens.svg

And FabAlyon pages

I don’t understand why this pages and materials are deleted on 6th October 2025, this materials are commonly use free by lot of people in my community. Would you please reconsidered this deletion because we needs it 🙏🙏

Here is a description of the files : Sportswear and Sneaker fetish pride flag .svg Freedom of eroticized gears expressions for all. It was designed by FabAlyon and was first displayed at the 2018 Mr. Sportswear Contest in Paris and France. It was adopted by many as a symbol for sportswear and sneaker kink, in Belgium, Netherland, Germany, United Kingdom, Switzerland and by extension by USE européen associations federation about this kink since 2023 ; and any proud aficionado of this kink or related practices. FabAlyon intends for each person to “make it yours” this Pride Flag. Here is the interpretation, according : Ms. Sportswear France 2017 : "The blue background is about sexually playing, stripes and coma shapes is about sports brandings, yellow for watersports, white for cum and bators, black for doms and rubbers wearing lot of sneakers. And the red stamp is for materials commonly worn (and eroticized) in our community." — Preceding unsigned comment added by FabAlyon (talk • contribs) 11:48, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

Deletion of Schéma CRDM.png

Hello,

the file Schéma CRDM.png was recently deleted under criterion F10 (personal files by non-contributors). I understand that the image was removed because it was not used in any publicly available article. However, the reason it wasn’t used is that editing the article is an assignment for my university course, and I need to consult the changes with my supervisor before publishing them.
Therefore, I would like to ask whether it would be possible to restore the file, or whether I may re-upload it so that I can complete my assignment and publish the updated article.
Best regards,

About soyjaks

>Derivative work of non-free content
Soyjaks are extremely difficult for anyone or any group to claim ownership. While there may be one original author, it is extremely unlikely to be able to track him down. The creator is anonymous, and would be extremely tough he would be able to prove he made it, and he has let entire groups and websites reuse and extend his work.

• The origin of the soyjak image is messy due to the nature of 4chan.
• Authorship is very challenging to prove.
• Enforcement is practically nonexistent.

The image I uploaded (the "concerned soyjak") is a derivative and relies on the same anonymous, practically untraceable origins, making enforcement equally unlikely. Same with the Wojak meme. I hope it's not the case that you removed it just because you didn't like it. Soynorth (talk) 20:32, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

The fact that ownership is unclear does not mean that it doesn't have copyright. In fact, copyright law has clauses for anonymous/pseudonymous work. "Nobody knows who the copyright owner is, so it really doesn’t matter." is specifically called out as an argument that can't be used on Commons, at COM:PCP. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 21:30, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

I’m not suggesting that nobody knows who made it so it doesn’t matter, only that the in the real-world, it is functionally impossible for anyone to claim ownership or or rights in any meaningful way. Not only this, but most soyjaks, including the one I uploaded, are very basic line art.

The Wojak has had a decade of circulation online, without any enforcement, and the original "soyak" itself is simply a derivative work of the Wojak.

Wikimedia Commons needs permission from the copyright holder, but if nobody knows who the copyright holder is, then it will never get permissed. Whether or not copyright technically exists is put behind the fact that the work cannot be licensed in practice. Commons policy requires a clear license and trackable authorship, both of which are impossible for Soyjak images.

Finally, The amount of thousands of variants, most with no identifiable source, makes it impossible to determine which version (if any) can be tied to an author. Soynorth (talk) 21:45, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

You are free to make that argument at COM:UNDEL, but I doubt it will be successful. As I pointed to above, COM:PCP addresses this pretty clearly. Sorry. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 21:51, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

File:The Black Vault.jpg Undeletion Request

Hi, I contest your file deletion of, "The Black Vault.jpg", since I believe there is sufficient proof that the logo is AI-generated.

COM:GRAFFITI

Hello, there. Sorry for my bad English. I only want to express my concerns about COM:GRAFFITI. Not for the copyright rules, that I agree, but also for the graffiti located publicly in Spain. Normally it applies COM:FOP Spain. I assume the graffiti categories are reviewed for legal notices and deleted if not. But I am worried that some graffiti in outdoors in Spain (according to the Spanish law: en parques, calles, plazas u otras vías públicas, literally in English, in parks, streets, squares or other public thoroughfares) might be deleted without any revision.

Don't get me wrong, I approve these reviews, I just only ask to be a little careful with graffiti where the country applies Freedom of panorama. Thanks for your attention.-- Docosong (talk) 12:53, 27 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello. I have a question regarding the deletion of the file mentioned in the title. Could you please explain the reason it was speedily deleted under criterion G10?

COM:AIP ratification

Hello TSC,

when can a proposed guideline or policy be taken as ratified? The proposal for COM:AIP is now open for roundabout one month, I was actually thinking that this month looks like a decent time as RfC duration. But as that is also the first one I engaged with, I totally don't know the usual practice about durations and when a closure is due. Can you tell me more, perhaps? Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 23:49, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
