I understand the removal of the copyvio-revdel template (I had not dug deeply enough into the websites copyright section to recognize the CC-BY statement), but this additon of the "CC text attribution notice" was probably unnecessary as the copied text had already been removed as irrelevant to the article.

- I tend to err on the side of caution figuring if it was worthy of rev-del as a copyvio then an an attribution should be added if it is missing. As for the licensing, academic papers seem to hide their licensing in a myriad of ways. sticking in the CC license in the paper itself would be the logical thing to do and sometimes that happens. And then sometimes it is in a separate license link on the web page like here. And I'm pretty sure I've seen an instance of the license statement being a general one for the journal with no mention in the paper or the specific web page. -- Whpq (talk) 15:32, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Deletion review for File:SEYCGA.png[edit]

Question about file permission[edit]
Would it be a valid form of permission for me to forward an email to the Wikipedia Commons team that includes permission for certain images? Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 15:31, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- I am not a VRT member and I am not familiar with their processes. The best course of action would be to contact VRT for guidance. Whpq (talk) 15:56, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
You deleted Danny Lauter[edit]
Hi, you deleted the Danny Lauter as a former AfD page, but the page is back after being recreated and then moved from Danny lauter, as well as Draft:DannyLauter. The WP:GAMENAME is obvious, but I want to confirm the page is the similar enough to the one deleted by the AfD discussion and completely correct as a candidate of the CSD before I take any further action. I would note that the author has been removing the CSD tags. If it's different enough, would you mind letting me know and I'll hold off? Thanks, microbiologyMarcus [petri dish·growths] 15:01, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- It's the same. -- Whpq (talk) 15:05, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Of course. Thanks for your attention. Any chance you feel the need to salt Danny lauter as that seems to be the current route of page recreation? microbiologyMarcus [petri dish·growths] 15:06, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Well, I've applied it to the title with proper capitalisation. Let's see if this stops. Whpq (talk) 15:11, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hey, how's it going, I was trying to move it to drafts. Anyway you guys could please help. I'm a bit confused. I created it to keep working on it but it would not let me move it to drafts. I am so sorry for all of the trouble! ElizaK89 (talk) 15:13, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Do you remember User:GrahamBould?[edit]
Hello Whpq,
You may be interested in this post at WP:AN, and this related discussion at WP:CCI, involving edits by User:GrahamBould. A lot of their problematic edits from 2006-2009 have been dealt with back then, by you and other volunteers at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Gastropods/Subpage for organizing CopyVio Cleanup, but some that were missed have now resurfaced. One article had most of its revision history deleted yesterday (1251 revisions spanning 18 years), and there are about 1700 articles that may be affected. As one of the few editors who are still active out of those who were involved in the original cleanup operation, maybe you can remember what happened back then, and have ideas how to best proceed. Thank you! Renerpho (talk) 06:44, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
Please help in editing this draft[edit]

File:Rafah displacement camp airstrike.webp[edit]
I noticed you deleted File:Rafah displacement camp airstrike.webp with the rationale "Simply captioning an image fails to be transformative as noted in the discussion." But the image was more than captioned. The article text itself makes commentary on the image. WP:F7 for example says "where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary."VR (Please ping on reply) 03:17, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
