Speedy deletion of [[File:1930s photo of the foreshore above Jeffrey Street 001 001004.jpg]]
hello Orangemike

Apologies if I missed earlier warnings, or if the file was incorrectly tagged however can I check please your speedy deletion of this photograph. The photograph was important to the article. The reference citation in the article on Jeffrey Street was as follows and my recollection is that a similar citation was present on the photo page:

The file appears on the Local Government website and the source attributes the photo to "c 1930s". I thought (mistakenly) that all of the correct tags has been used both in the article and also on the photo page. I refer also to the Australian Copyright Council which states that in Australia Copyright has expired in photos taken prior to 1 January 1955. This photograph is therefore approximately 20 years out of copyright. Refer to the copyright regulation here.



Can I seek your advice please as to how to reverse this or what additional "public domain" style tag you feel was missing which should have been present on this photo to cover any other countries copyright laws etc? This photo has been on this article for almost four (4) years and this is the first time that the PD status / copyright of these very old photos has been raised as an issue.

Is my deleted article stored in the Wikipedia database?
I was told my article about Claudia Caporal was deleted because it was biased and I was too "close" to her to be able to write her article. Is there a way to rescue the writing I did for it so that I may then edit it to an appropriate stage for publishing? Thank you. KatieLee92 (talk)

Second consideration appreciated on Talk:Gregor Collins
Hi, Orange Mike, or other user - this is a request for a second look ie a consideration in deleting the "Some or all of this article's listed sources may not be reliable" note that has been on the Gregor Collins article since September of 2013. Reliable sources and additional, validated wiki links (including the recently approved article Goodbye Promise) have been provided in the interim, proving it a worthy candidate for no flags. I have no reason to be untruthful that this article is indeed associated with me but that is in no way an indication it is a puff piece or autobiographical piece, nor should it not be considered just as neutral as any other entry. If for some reason it's still considered flag-worthy I'd appreciate an updated explanation and what needs to be secured to have it fully approved. Thanks for your time. Gregorcollins (talk)

Some words on "ESNA European Higher Education News"
I removed the issues from the top of the page. After spending a few weeks gradually editing this article, I believe the tone is much more neutral, many references and links have been added to integrate it, and it relies much less on primary sources. If there is anything left to be improved, please let me know. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlesfearnley (talk • contribs)

Luv Ya page
Hello Orangemike I appreciate your advice, but just to clarify, Paloma Faith is not a minor performer. Despite not being regarded as a phenomenon like Amy Winehouse or Adele she is more popular than some may realise, and even so more financially successful than some realise. I believe if my article is up to the standard of Wikipedia, my article will be accepted. Thankyou. CandidLibraryEditors — Preceding unsigned comment added by CandidLibraryEditors (talk • contribs)

Please provide contents of my deleted article
Hi Orangemike, You deleted my article at: User:ZenSunflower/sandbox1 for promotional content. I would like to re-edit and fix until the article meets wiki standards.

1. I need help retrieving the contents of my article because I did not back it up. 2. I also need help understanding what parts of my article make it look promotional.

Please help!!! ZenSunflower (talk) 02:46, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Out of courtesy, I will send you the deleted content. But it is promotional: a mewling, groveling hagiography of an advertisement, and has no place in an encyclopedia. I honestly don't think there are more than fifteen words and maybe one reference that could be salvaged. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  03:20, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * OrangeMike,
 * 1. Could you send me the entire contents of the deleted article? What I received was only a small part of it.
 * 2. Could you please let me know of the one reference that is salvageable?
 * Thank you! ZenSunflower (talk) 04:13, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 1. Done.
 * 2. Upon further examination, the one which looked vaguely salvageable is in fact clearly not a reliable source. Every single source is either self-published or grossly violative of our neutral point of view requirements. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  04:59, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
