Hello! I was in the process of accepting Draft:CallMeCarson, but noticed that you had create-protected the page. I think this draft falls safely within the GNG, particularly with the new sexual misconduct allegations. If you could unprotect the page or let me know why not, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,
The Editing team has scheduled a major update to mw:Extension:DiscussionTools (the new Reply tool) for next week's deployment train. Since you invoke the feature from a script ( I do, too), you're probably going to see that update next week, before it's officially released in the mw:Beta Feature system. The new update will use a similar system for starting a ==New discussion==. As before, full-page wikitext editing will not be affected. There is more information on the project page at mw:Talk pages project/New discussion.
You don't have to do anything about this; I just didn't want you to be surprised. If you encounter problems next week, please ping me or leave a note on the talk page for the project. Thanks, Whatamidoing (WMF) ( talk) 22:09, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

You do realise that what you said is victim blaming? If someone improves an article then that's one thing but just deleting everything is completely against the ethos of wikipedia. Will you be writing something on the talk page of the people who did the deleting warning them not to do it and to try to improve pages instead, or is it just me you seek to correct?

Hi,
I can confirm this picture was posted by the Tasmanian government, I can send a link to the government page if you want.

Hi,
Should I try and find if this image is in the public domain? If not, how do you know the other images are not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TomVenam2021 ( talk • contribs) 23:15, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
I have requested this image that I've uploaded for the article Everywhere at the End of Time to be deleted in the FFD discussion about it, as I did with some audio samples from that article. After an interesting conversation with another administrator, where I had rickrolled him, I realized just how many non-free content I had put in that article. He pointed me out to this list, where the EatEoT article was at the top of. While yes, the article's topic is very abstract (a musical depiction of the stages of Alzheimer's) and very long (a series of six different albums), that does not justify such a large amount of non-free content as I usually though it would.
Anyway, my question is: since an administrator speedily deleted the audio samples I had uploaded, due to criterion G7, could I do that to the previously mentioned image, too? I am genuinely curious about this, as I see a "delete" button just after the name of the file on its FFD discussion, but I have no idea where it takes me or if I have the permission to delete the image. The criterion in question states that, if the uploader of the file him(her)self supports its deletion, it should be speedily deleted. And I am the uploader of the image (two obvious facts). But the criterion says nothing about if the uploader can delete the file if he supports so, which I obviously do.
So, in summary: can a file be speedily deleted by its own uploader, even if he does not hold a higher position on Wikipedia?

He's very persistent and when I revert it he reverts it automatically and often.
