''[[Isoteinon bruno]]'' deletion

:::{{Reply to|Loopy30}}. The request was for speedy deletion of a simple redirect from this now empty page of Isoteinon bruno. Beforehand, that redirect was Isoteinon bruno -> Astictopterus bruno. And yes, as per above the intent was/is to move Astictopterus bruno into Isoteinon then make a few updates the page for that species. Also to move some other "Astictopterus" spp into Isoteinon, then fix the genus page for Astictopterus to reflect that now it's essentially just Astictopterus jama remaining (but i won't make that formalised as monotypic due to some recent debate whether some of its "subspecies" are valid distinct species or not).

Questions on photography

I'm interested in photograohy, but I do not know where to start. I know there are a lot of experienced photographers on Wikipedia, but after reading your userpage, I decided to talk to you. Can you please guide me through on how you got into photography and where you started?. Also did you take photos of those korean/foreign footballers by going to their matches?. I'd really appreciate it if you could reply. Even though it's not a question heavily related to Wikipedia. Thanks... Vinizex94🌍 12:47, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

:{{Reply to|Vinizex94}} Hmm, it's hard to pinpoint when I took interest in photography. Maybe it started around the time I got a Nikon Coolpix S70 (don't remember why) and took some crappy photos of One Ok Rock (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The band had announced a free live performance, and since it wasn't particular common for Japanese acts to hold concerts outside of Japan, I guess I felt the need to document it somehow.

:I didn't truly pick up photography until 2018, when I visited home and bought a Nikon D5600, an entry-level camera. With the help of tutorials on YouTube, I simply kept showing up at free public events to take photos to develop my skills. You can see the progression of my photography at :c:Category:Photographs taken by Explicit, as it is mostly sorted by date. My subjects of interest have shifted a lot over the years. I bought a Nikon D850 in 2020, right before COVID hit, so that was a great way to let the camera gather dust for two and a half years. Learning how to maneuver that camera was a learning curve for me.

:Yes, I'm pretty much at every FC Seoul home game these days. I do want to take photos of other subjects, but it's hard to find the time and interest. plicit 01:00, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

Photo deletion question

Hello Explicit! I hope your day has been well 🙂 I have a question about the fair use file you recently deleted "File:Denys Davydov channel profile.jpg", which was used in the infobox as the channel profile for journalist and YouTuber Denys Davydov, which can only be found on his [https://www.youtube.com/@DenysDavydov YouTube page]. You deleted it because it "violates non-free content criterion #1", but I don't believe it does? If there is a free alternative of this photo or any photo of him for that matter can you please show me so I can include some kind of illustration on the page? Otherwise, can you explain why this photo couldn't be used, because I don't understand how it didn't meet criteria. Cheers! Johnson524 22:14, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

:{{Reply to|Johnson524}} Hi, Wikipedia policy generally does not allow the use of non-free photos of living people, even if a freely licensed photo does not exist at the moment. Because the subject is alive and active, it fails to meet the first criterion of the NFCC policy: {{xt|"Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose."}} plicit 00:17, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

Declined deletion file has been again nominated for deletion

The file :File:Tamil Genocide acts, Mullivaikkal Massacre, Displacement.png was nominated for speedy deletion for no reason by user ÆthelflædofMercia, even when fair use rationale was given as its really necessary and important for the illustration for the said article Tamil Genocide and for its encyclopedic discussion, the use of it is limited and is in low resolution and

It cannot be replaced with free media as there is no similar or related images of it that's released under creative commons licenses and now the same user has nominated the page again for deletion with different deletion notice, as the previous attempt of deleting the file failed, now spamming notices to do anything to remove anything related to Tamil genocide on Wikipedia, with twisting the integrity of the image, when all of images' context are confirmed in the linked US state department file and it being related to Tamil Genocide, which is established with extensive sources in the article itself with detailed sourced explanation of the depictions and illustrations that is shown in image, which is why the main rational being for its use is for encyclopedic discussion of the article, the new user has been non stop going around Wikipedia doing the same to remove anything Tamil Genocide, so requesting to take action against it and protect the image page against vandalism.

Redirects

I think the redirects are the correct critea. However, you probably no more than me. Bottom line is, these redirects are useless, needless, and the editor that created all of them either is trying to artifically inflate their edit count, something to do with WP:FANCRUFT, or simply got carried away in the excitement of creating them.

I previously asked an administrator what the correct speedy deletion critea (I think that's what it is) and he said WP:R3. If that's incorrct, could you tell me which would be the correct one? Lemonademan22 (talk) 14:02, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Request for review

Hello @Explicit,

I'm seeking your assistance regarding a user who recently left messages on my Talk Page. For context, you can view the conversation here.

My concern is that this user referenced a few editors and pages, but after checking, they don’t appear to exist. I also attempted to search for them manually, but with no success. Could you please verify this?

Additionally, if possible, I would appreciate it if you could review the user's edit history, particularly their changes to the R. Donahue Peebles and Peebles Corporation pages. Now that the user has raised a COI (Conflict of Interest) issue, I believe their own editing behavior warrants closer examination. The tone of their contributions appears unusually negative, which raises the possibility that they may be a competitor or someone previously associated with Peebles.

Since they’ve questioned my edits, I will refrain from making further changes to these pages and leave the matter in your hands for review. I would be grateful if you could also look into the user’s activity.

Thank you for your time and support. Axeia.aksaya (talk) 14:37, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

:{{Reply to|Axeia.aksaya}} Hi, in regards to the messages on your talk page, it appears that a single person is trying to intimidate you by posing as several different editors—they certainly don't exist. I would take them with a grain of salt.

Backdoor deletions

You moved two articles from draft space back to user space and removed their speedy tags with the comment "no backdoor deletions":[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:GallupMS/Donald_O._Clifton_draft&diff=prev&oldid=1292908677][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Bromogatos309/sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=1292908813]

In reviewing articles at CAT:CSD yesterday, both of these had {{tl|db-g13}} tags.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Bromogatos309/sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=1292749728][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:GallupMS/Donald_O._Clifton_draft&diff=prev&oldid=1292752514] Both looked like they might be notable, so I removed the G13 tags, then moved them to draft space for further review. It became clear that the Bromogatos309/sandbox article was hopeless and there was already a Donald O. Clifton article so I restored the G13 tags with these edit summaries:

  • {{tq|"{Db-g13}: I temporarily removed the db-g13 tag yesterday to further investigate. I have not edited it other than to add tags. A Donald O. Clifton article exists."}}[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:GallupMS/Donald_O._Clifton_draft&diff=prev&oldid=1292905228]
  • {{tq|"{db-g13}. This was an abandoned user space page tagged for G13 deletion. I draftified it and temporarily removed the G13 tag pending investigation of its potential as an article. It's a dud. I have not edited except for adding templates"}}[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Bromogatos309/sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=1292905779]

:{{Reply to|A. B.}} I do not fault your actions in these instances. The editor who originally tagged them for deletion as G13 had done so without properly understanding the criterion—it does not apply to drafts in userspace that are not tagged as AFC submissions.
