File:Rafah displacement camp airstrike.webp
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)


 * Can you point out the text? -- Whpq (talk) 03:40, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Sorry!
I'm here to apologize for accidentally reverting a LTA move into a wrong target. I mistook the revert vandalism was all changing something like Example clan -> Example (clan) and didn't notice some were named like Example Family. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 12:41, 22 June 2024 (UTC)


 * No worries. That was an easy mistake because of the pattern of moves. -- Whpq (talk) 13:17, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

File:With a Little Help from My Friends by Joe Cocker UK vinyl single Side-A.png
I'd like to import the file to Commons, but undeleting the prior revision is required before doing so. George Ho (talk) 19:19, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Deletion of movie articles
Hello, I really appreciate that you didn’t allow my article ‘Dil (1991)’ get deleted. The user ‘Saqib’ is always deleting my articles when they are notable. I have a passion for Pakistani cinema and Hindi cinema. I would really like you to approve of my future articles and allow them on the main space without them being taken down constantly. Thank you for your help and support!!! Saqib lollywood (talk) 16:22, 3 July 2024 (UTC)


 * i don't normally do AFC reviews.  The best way to ensure acceptance is to have good quality reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 17:59, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Non-free images of still living persons
Hi Whpq. Are you using a script or bot to search for possible violations of FREER? I used to use ToolForge page created by someone long ago which listed such images in tabular form, but that page stopped working a few months back. Now, I usually only come across some images through random clicking or scrooling through one of the subcategories of Category:All non-free media. It's not a very efficient approach, so I'm wondering if there's a better way. Perhaps a category page for recently updated non-free images? You also seem to be working in this area so thought you might've figured out a better approach. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:03, 5 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Nothing automated. I just look at recent uploads and pick out images that look like they might potentially be a problem. -- Whpq (talk) 11:10, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * OK. Is there a particular category page for recent uploads or a category page for date uploaded? -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:21, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I just use special:newfiles. -- Whpq (talk) 11:22, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I didn't know about that link. Thanks for that. -- Marchjuly (talk) 18:19, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Wrong venue close
You closed Templates for discussion/Log/2024 July 8 as wrong venue, but you didn't procedurally nominate it at MfD as you should per WP:PROCEDURAL. Can you please do so? Nickps (talk) 18:31, 8 July 2024 (UTC)


 * My bad. Done!  Thanks you. -- Whpq (talk) 18:35, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

PD-NWS
Hey Whpq! I know you deal with a lot of copyright discussions, so I wanted to give you a little checklist for NOAA/NWS-related images. Based on the FFD, as you come across weather-related images in the future, this checklist will probably be fairly helpful.

Is it on a .gov page?
 * Yes – Most likely
 * No – (Unless it is from a U.S. government social media account on Facebook.com or X.com)

Is it from a branch of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration?
 * Yes – Most likely
 * No – or follow other applicable U.S. Government copyright guidelines

Is it on a webpage of the National Weather Service (weather.gov)?
 * Yes – Most likely
 * No –

Does the image caption or webpage directly state a copyright symbol (©) for that image or subsequent image group?
 * Yes – (Example – "Tornado Photos" tab)
 * No – (Example – "Multimedia" tab)

Does the image itself have a watermark?
 * Yes – Most likely (Example 1) {Example 1 webpage "Multimedia" tab} + Example 2) {Commons DR}
 * No –

Does the image itself have a watermark specifically with the copyright symbol (©)?
 * Yes – (Example + Example webpage "Photos" tab) + Commons DR on that image.
 * No – (Example) + {Commons DR on that image}

Hope that helps solve some future weather-image questions you may have or find in the future! Cheers! The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 20:17, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Could you please revoke talk page access for a user that you blocked ? They've repeatedly spammed on their talk page with no apparent intention of stopping. Thanks. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:06, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

nchervitz sandbox
Is there any chance you have some copy of my sandbox page that you deleted? I was planning on rewording and thought it was still private on my page, thanks. -- Nchervitz (talk) 17:39, 15 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Copyright violations are not restored. -- Whpq (talk) 17:50, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

U5 for multiple pages
Hello. My articles about Hong Kong transport was deleted under U5 but I didn't have a backup for it. Please can you provide the source for the following pages? I am planning to post these on other non-Wiki sites (aka outside Wikipedia). My intention is to make a brief Hong Kong transport news that happened recently, but I didn't know Wikipedia is not the place for that. HingWahStreet (talk) 09:59, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
