Attention:
 
If you are here because I deleted an image that you uploaded, or that was being used on your project, please read the following before posting:
  • I am taking part in the clearing out of a backlog of approximately 12,000 images that are tagged for deletion. Please be very specific about the image deleted, as I won't remember it among the 1,000 other images I deleted.
  • A new feature has been enabled, allowing images to be restored. If the deletion was incorrect, don't worry, we can fix it quickly and with minimal effort.
  • If the deletion was correct, but the issue requiring deletion is easily fixable (for example, it just needs a license tag, and you're the uploader) let me know that you can fix it, and I'll undelete it.
If you're going to leave a note here, please:
  • Link specifically to the image in question, so I can check it quickly.
  • If you know what the issue was with the image that called for deletion, and know how it can be fixed, make sure to tell me that.
  • If you just need to know why the image was deleted, say that, and I'll pull the information.
  • Expect that I'll reply here, as I'm likely to have a lot of similar requests, and won't be able to track people down, especially if they aren't logged in contributors here.

I appreciate everyone's patience and cooperation as we work through this massive backlog. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 08:17, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks to Pfctdayelise who is helping to keep track of things here while I'm tied up elsewhere. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 10:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Commons-l subscription

Hello Essjay~commonswiki,

as per Commons talk:Administrators, I am asking all admins to subscribe to commons-l, a mailing list for Wikimedia Commons policy and project discussion. Since many admins are only on Commons infrequently, this is a good way to alert people about important happenings. The mailing list is nominally multilingual, but predominantly English.

If you are already subscribed to commons-l, I apologize for bothering you, and you are free to ignore this message. If you don't want to use your regular e-mail account, feel free to leave me a message, and I can send you a GMail invite. Traffic on the mailing list is relatively low, and we do not expect admins to read all messages to the list, but it would be nice if you could check on it at least every few weeks. Thanks for your time,--Eloquence 22:51, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Already on, but thanks! Essjay (Talk • Connect) 05:57, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted images

Looks like a couple of my 'own work' images got deleted accidentally. Not quite sure why as I am fairly certain I tagged them correctly as released to public domain when uploading. Maybe I got that part wrong. Your user name is against the deletion - if you could restore them I'd be grateful as finding them again to upload will take some time. They are:

and

I've restored both; it appears that User:Dbenbenn marked it as no-source due to the nature of the license used. Please check with him (as he's the one who identified the problem) to find out what needs to be done to correct the image; my only involvement was to delete out images marked as no-source per policy.
