Orphaned non-free image File:Peta toplogo.png
 Thanks for uploading File:Peta toplogo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:


 * I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
 * I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.

Thank you
Good, much-needed block. Thanks; well done. Strange Passerby (talk • c • status) 09:28, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Is this in regard to user:Bad edits r dumb? I'm going to say that I do not agree with this block, or the general reaction to this editor. This is not an attempt to change your mind (because it's clear what the community consensus is), but to indicate that the majority opinion is not universally held. It was not Mr. r dumb's edits that were the problem, but rather the community response to them. Buddy431 (talk) 18:31, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is. And yes, the edits were a problem. I cannot believe the community withheld judgment on a user evidently not here to be constructive for so very very long. Almost 80KB of text was typed about him - he was a self-confessed sockpuppet, he was using an almost unintelligible method of communication - frankly, he's a fairly obvious troll, and I fail to see how anything less than an indefinite block would be appropriate in this situation.  f o x 11:40, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
