hey thanks for using my portrait for Gil Hill :) MalborkHistorian (talk) 15:44, 22 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

@MalborkHistorian: It's not your portrait per se. Since the image's intended use did seem to be in accordance with Wikipedia's non-free content use policy, it's documentation was cleaned up and kept. Please understand, though, that's not always be the case, and some images just can't be sorted out. It also doesn't mean this particular image's non-free use will always be in accordance with relevant Wikipedia policy; if a free equivalent image of Hill is found or created by someone that's capable of serving essentially the same encyclopedic purpose as this non-free one, then it will be used instead. I also recommend you carefully read through the messages posted on your user talk page about some of your recent file uploads. Wikipedia has some fairly restrictive policies about what kind of images and media content can be uploaded and used, and it's easy to make mistakes if you're not familiar with them. Making a mistake once or twice is generally OK, but repeatedly uploading files which have copyright licensing or other issues is likely going to lead to an administrator stepping in. So, if you don't understand why any of the files you uploaded were flagged as problems, including the one that actually ended up needing to be deleted, it's better to ask now so that you don't make the same mistake later. -- Marchjuly (talk) 20:12, 22 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sent a message to get your wisdom on a page, would love any thoughts you have to offer :) thank you! Maperturas 99 (talk) 08:43, 25 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

I don't have any wisdom to provide on this other than to say that if you think there was an error made in the closing of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vincent Moon, you should follow the guidance given in WP:CLOSECHALLENGE and first discuss things with the administrator who closed the AfD on their user talk page. If after doing that you still feel a mistake was made, you can start a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review. I'm not a Wikipedia administrator and can't see the deleted page; so, I can't see whether the assessment of the article given by others in the AfD discussion was accurate. I also suggest that you'd be as transparent as possible, including about the things you mentioned in your first email to me, because doing so will go far in demonstrating to others that your interest in the getting the article restored is more a case of you being WP:HERE than being WP:NOTHERE. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:04, 25 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
