File:TClaudeNelson-Williams.jpeg
[edit]Hi Explicit. Would you mind taking a look at User talk:Wikiaddict8962#Disputed non-free use rationale for File:TClaudeNelson-Williams.jpeg? I thought progress was being made based on what was being discussed at FFD regarding other files uploaded by this user, but the file in question is a reupload of File:ClaudeNelson-Williams JP-E-Cole.jpeg that you deleted yesterday per F11. The reupload is licensed as non-free, but that creates a different set of issues to resolve. I can understand this user being frustrated, but the part of their post implying they will keep re-uploading deleted images until they're successfully added to the article seems to be a move into WP:IDHT territory. There other edits seem to be reasonable, but their user talk page has quite a number of image related notifications dating as far back as 2007; so, this doesn't seem to be the case of a new user being unfamiliar with relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines regarding images. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:59, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
Deletion review for 2025 Thiruvananthapuram mass murder
[edit]Spworld2 has asked for a deletion review of 2025 Thiruvananthapuram mass murder. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. —Cryptic 14:39, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
Hello. As the European Union is a sui generis federative superstate, it makes sense to have a separate list of buildings within this superstate. Chick Pea Corea (talk) 22:26, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
Hi Explicity can you please resotre ChickenTwisty user page?
[edit]Hi,
You deleted my user page which contained a brief overview of my key achievements as a basis for establishing my creditability.
I am unsure why it was deleted or how the deletion fits in with rule U5?
Can you please restore my user page.
Here is the log entry may it be of assistance.
23:54, 10 March 2025 Explicit talk contribs deleted page User:ChickenTwisty (U5: Misuse of Wikipedia as a web host) Tag: Twinkle (thank) ChickenTwisty (talk) 00:33, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- @ChickenTwisty: Hi, content on your userpage must be about you as contributor to Wikipedia, it is not a personal page for your portfolio. Please see the userpage guideline for further information. ✗plicit 01:08, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thankyou. I believe the material meets the requirement. It contained a disclosure of conflict of interest (required for related articles) and from your linked guidelines "Limited autobiographical content ... or fields you have knowledge in.", "... articles worked on", " ... usually one's user page has something about oneself..." and in addition that material about myself is notable historical events not recorded elsewhere or warranting their own page e.g. records who established the business model for maintaining a fleet of Australian Warships (me).

Deletion of Aharon Solomon’s
[edit]You cited that the sources were vague or incorrect and that’s not only not true but could have been provided if we were notified of the impending deletion. Please let me know how to go about re opening the article with the adequate sources. thank you 2A01:73C0:95F:3EF6:281A:2071:4073:6655 (talk) 12:50, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
- Can you please provide a link to the page you're referring to? Aharon Solomon has never existed. ✗plicit 12:55, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Improper article closing
[edit]There is a smelly fish somewhere. I contributed to the article discussion at List of tallest buildings in the European Union. In short order, the article, a 2nd nomination by Brian Kendig was closed by Anonymous 7:11 am, Today (UTC−5). There doesn't appear to be such a person or entity, and even if there were, this discussion needed Admin closing. The article still has the AFD tag on it. There is a notification on the talk page "This article was previously nominated for deletion. The result of the discussion was keep." Another notification: "This article was nominated for deletion on March 31, 2024. The result of the discussion was delete". Both notifications point to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of tallest buildings in the European Union. Would you please look at this? -- Otr500 (talk) 14:22, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Otr500: The discussion closure was the result sockpuppets and IPs of the LTA BuickCenturyDriver, which can be viewed in the past history of the second AFD. I had the misfortune of running into this behavior yesterday around this time. There has been disruption across a number of deletion discussions by this user for at least the past two days. Regarding List of tallest buildings in the European Union, this article was deleted last year at AFD, and the notice on the talk page simply documents that. ✗plicit 14:42, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
-I am confused. I have been under the impression that a closer is supposed to use comments, based on policies and guidelines, to determine consensus. In my ignorance I "ass"umed blocks and bans, even possibly range blocks, would curtail the issue. I do know there was an issue with the "not a valid !vote" before mine and indicated this. I have been sorely misled, not knowing that our solution to socks and IPs targeting any Wikipedia action can derail the action. Like a young child learning, it took about one instant of the socks and IP's action with satisfactory results, to get a train ride of the same. So why the "not a name" closing, and the disception on listing the same result twice to bury the action? In my opinion this sort of blows transparency to hell. I know there is going to be the appearance of a logical rationale, but it will not convince me. This means my contributions can be somewhat worthless. Well, they say there are nearly 6,000,000 articles on Wikipedia, so we can always find something else to do. Those who think notability is a waste of time, as well as those that think all articles belong on Wikipedia, regardless of notability, will be happier. Have a great day. -- Otr500 (talk) 23:39, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
A kitten for you!
[edit]
I'm fairly sure you already have a goat, and it may appreciate this stylish hat...
I trust you're now picturing a goat wearing a kitten as a hat.
My work here is done.

Article Review
[edit]Hello administrator, I would like to ask if my sandbox page User:JuanHughery/sandbox or draft:Ali Azhar D can be moved to the English Wikipedia main page? JuanHughery (talk) 14:28, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
Deletion discussion
[edit]Hi Explicit! I think this discussion was closed prematurely. Can it be restored so that more people have time to comment? Only one person voted, and from what I see the related discussion on the talk page has reasons provided by a few editors for why the photo is public domain. NutmegCoffeeTea (she/her) (talk) 13:41, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
- @NutmegCoffeeTea: Hi, sorry to say, but there is no evidence that this particular image is freely licensed. While the artwork itself is in the public domain, a photograph creates a second copyright by the photographer (c:COM:DW#What is a derivative work?). It was deleted on Commons twice for this very reason. The crop is a faithful 2D reproduction, which is fine to use. More information regarding the copyrights concerning public domain artwork can be found at c:COM:DW#Casebook, particularly the third bullet point. ✗plicit 00:39, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
Please undelete this. I am going to turn it into an article here. Thanks! Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 00:53, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
