Excuse me, Slakr, but you are wrong. I created a stub for this company that is referred to elsewhere in the Wikipedia (did you bother to check the links?) with the intent to get back to it later and flesh it out, and you speedy-deleted it. Your remark that it was "blatant advertising" is way off. This is an important company doing extremely valuable research. I have no affiliation or personal stake in this company, just happen to know about their work. I have been a contributor to the Wikipedia for some six and a half years, have made thousands of contributions and have created many articles. I urge you to undelete the article and give me a chance to get back to it and add more information. Pasquale ( talk) 15:14, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
If I may quote from Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion: "Administrators should take care not to speedy delete pages or media except in the most obvious cases. If a page has survived a prior deletion discussion, it should not be speedy deleted except for newly discovered copyright violations. Contributors sometimes create pages over several edits, so administrators should avoid deleting a page that appears incomplete too soon after its creation." Pasquale ( talk) 18:52, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
Dear sklar,
last week, you were approached by User:Kansas_Bear regarding his belief that I was engaging him in edit warring regarding my revisions to the Battle of Corunna page. In reply, you pointed out to him that I had not been warned earlier of what edit-warring was ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Schpinbo). As a newer editor to Wikipedia acting in good faith, I was not conversant with this rule; I hope you will agree that since that warning, I have refrained from edit-warring. If I have not, please let me know how I may still be continuing to err, and I will happily alter my behavior further.
The grounds upon which User:Kansas_Bear, in collaboration with User:Charles, have sought to undo my edits have been varied. For User:Kansas_Bear, the issue was the reliability of courses. He demonstrated that references used on Wikipedia should be published by reliable print sources, rather than web-based. I acceded to his points and have now provided that additional citation ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Battle_of_Corunna#British_Victory). User:Charles seems to believe that, because he disagrees with my POV regarding the history of the battle in question, he has the right to undo my edits. I have sought to address their complaints on both fronts. They have sought to undo my revisions, accusing me of disruptive editing, when it is I who have worked to address their concerns.
User:Charles has today seen fit to yet again revise one of my edits ( http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Battle_of_Corunna&action=history). When I removed a "reliability tag" that had been installed by User:Kansas_Bear, because his question about the reliability of sources had been addressed, User:Charles undid this revision, claiming "like hell it has." Sklar, may I ask you for your opinion on this matter? First, I find it puzzling that User:Charles, whose concern was not with reliability but with a POV issue, is now acting to support User:Kansas_Bear's concerns. User:Charles has yet to address the substance of my latest rejoinder to him regarding whether the battle in question can be regarded as a strategic victory for the French. Providing for the fact that History is a matter of interpretation and that interpretations differ among historians, I believe I have introduced compelling evidence that shows scholarly judgment backing my POV. I can find no reason for his posture on this score other than he will not allow for a POV other than his own. His latest edit of the Battle of Corunna page shows, I beleive, that he has no interest in seeking consensus or cooperation in the editing process ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CONSENSUS). User:Charles continues to act, in my view, like a "vested contributor", supposing it is his prerogative to simply reverse my edits without engaging in discussion with me ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_vested_contributors). His latest "warning" on my talk page is, in my view, an attempt to silence me because he does not like my POV.
May I ask you to weigh in on this issue?

Dear Slakr, I have been the recipient of a very, very long ongoing attack by former editor SkagitRiverQueen and her innumerable sockpuppets (last count, I believe, was 60ish). Every time my account is unprotected, she continues her attacks. I get emails from her to remind me she is watching me. The woman has Aspergers, (she outed herself at ANI), and is obsessed with me, hence the indef. Additionally, I do not intentionally engage in edit wars. Yes, I goofed the other nite when I should have been in bed (duh) and received the warning I deserved. That is not my normal behavior and I would appreciate it if you not infer that it is. I must have a target painted on my you Know what :-D I have read your page and you have a great sense of humor, my kind of person!

Several weeks ago (approximately), my User name turned red. I don't know what I did but obviously it was something wrong. Today I received a very respectful two-tilde message from SineBot reminding me to sign messages with four tildes. I have been doing that but they were not being recognized.

Hey bro, I just want to suggest that maybe sinebot could be a bit friendlier - instead of "you must sign your posts by typing four tildes", you could write "you should...".

Hi I understand you are kinda like the Wikipedia vigilante police, that's cool. I noticed the page for Amazon Mining was deleted. The company has a lot of environmental and agricultural significance, since they are working on developing a revolutionary fertilizer in Brazil that is better for the environment and will cost way less than the alternatives which currently have to be imported from Canada and Russia. Brazil has more available farmland than any other country, grows a wide variety of crops. It is world's leading produces of corn (from which enthanol oil is produced), soy (a major meat substitute and food additive) in processed food, as well as sugar cane and a myriad of others. Many observers, believe that Brazil will soon overtake all other nations as the world's largest food exporter, however the cost of fertilizer stands in the way. unless of course there's an alternative. Currently, Amazon Mining is the company developing it!
Unfortunately, being new to wikipedia, I don't completely understand how and what to cite in an article. However, the organization is very newsworthy, to the point that the stock jumped up from 93 cents to over $8 in one year. So???!? if it was deleted because the significance wasn't explained, my apologies for not explaining...however, it definitely belongs on Wiki. Since the invention of Thermopotash will eventually be responsible for feeding the world. My two cents.

You, of course, were the one who revoked my rollback privilege two months ago. You know what I was fighting against. I may not have told you this before, but I was up quite late that night, and that contributed to my Wiki-stress. Since then, I have used Twinkle to combat vandals, warning them without fail. Save for blatant vandalism, I only click the vandalism button when there has been un-explained mass removal of cited/sourced content, and that has only happened a few times. Since I use pop-ups, rollback will allow me to revert the damage without fail; pop-ups often fail to automatically load the next page. -- HXL 's Roundtable, and Record 22:21, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Your User:Sinebot page is clear about how you can opt out of having your postings signed by Sinebot even if you don't use ~~~~, but says nothing about when -- i.e. it does not mention the fact that opting out may be inappropriate in some cases.
The standard wording you get when editing a talk page says something like "Please respect the talk page guidelines. Sign your posts...". Taking this together with the ability to opt out as shown on the User:Sinebot page, I had been assuming that this sort of signature was merely a guideline. This weekend that assumption got me into a dispute that nearly got me blocked. This ended when WP:SIGN#Internal links was called to my attention and I realized I was wrong about it only being a guideline.
I think the section about opting out needs some added wording, with links to the appropriate pages, to help prevent others from making the same mistake I did.

Hello Slakr. I'm a sysop and bot operator ( tr:User:Khutuck Bot) at Turkish Wikipedia, and we need a signature bot badly. Is it possible (technically and personally) to use your bot at tr.wikipedia? Will it require high amounts of re-coding, or will changing en.wiki's to tr.wiki be enough? We already have users with 24/7 running computers, so computing power is not an issue. I'd be very happy if we can have a sign bot here too. Khutuck ( talk) 14:23, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
Wikilawyers have been trying to drive through a wording loophole in WP:BLP, saying ethnicity and gender of WP:EGRS don't apply to living persons, simply because the two words aren't in the policy.

Hi Slakr. I'm going around helping bot owners to publish the source code of their bots on wikigit, a github organization created for this purpose. Publishing your source code ensures that others can take over maintainence of tools if the original author becomes unavailable and allows others to create bots based on yours. Very little effort is required - in the simplest case all you have to do is e-mail a ZIP of the source code to an owner. Please take a look at the options and let me know what you want to do. I'd also appreciate any feedback on the project since it's new. Thanks! Dcoetzee 18:17, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello Slakr. My name is Zach. I'm beginning to learn Python and I was wondering if you could help me in creating a bot.

I'm a ptwiki user, and I'm lately surfing on enwiki to bring some ideas for the Lusophone project. I'm very interested in SineBot, because in ptwiki, when a user does not sign a message, we have to check the signature manually.

Hi. I saw the block log today for 194.126.21.9 and I'm a little confused. It looks like ProcseeBot meant to block 213.175.165.130, but blocked this IP instead. I've attached the relevant entry below. If you could take a look, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Hi! Could you please assist. It appears we have a Vandal here who is using his "power" with WP to assert himself. On the Beagle 2 page, I originally wrote on the first para, that Beagle 2 "...may have missed Mars altogether, skipped off the atmosphere or entered an orbit around the sun, or burned up during its descent. If if reached the surface, then it may have hit too hard, or simply failed to contact Earth due to a fault". This was very concise, accurate, detailed and informative.
However, some time later, the "Vandal" complained of, Ruslik0, replaced this text with less informative, and misleading text which also doesn't inform the reader of all the possibilities which could have befallen the Beagle probe. I have undone his insertion on a number of occasions and I have written on the Discussion page about this Vandalism. Please see "Vandalism" and "Comment" on the Discussion page, which explains all of my reasons in detail.
However Ruslik0 simply kept blindly replacing my original wording with his -- and always without a word of explanation.
Lately, he has also deleted part of the History where all this was happening -- and locked the entire Article-- and again without a single word of explanation!
Sadly, there are on WP many who still display the "territorial ape" which is regrettably all too present in some people, and they simly get rattled if you "violate their space, where they have left their territorial marker". This is why he cannot provide any rational justification for his actions -- but at the same time he can't stop doing it. Could you please investigate the matter. WP deserves the very best in writing and informative standards and here we are definitely going backwards.
Thankyou. ( 204.112.57.207 ( talk) 18:07, 18 April 2011 (UTC)) I am also Valhalan; I was asked some years ago to be an administrator but alas I have a very demanding job which limits my time.

It was granted userification by the deleting administrator User:Sandstein. The following changes were made to the page: 1) Added a notable reference. Specifically, an article in the The Wall Street Journal. The link to the latter article was not on the page before deletion. 2) Added Harvest (software) to the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Computing, an effort to increase the quality and quantity of information about computing on Wikipedia.

As an uber-last resort, you could wait for the sock to reach the minimum edit count to be ignored by default, and thus necessitate {{

I understand you blocked this user for 36 hours, unfortunately he/she continues to disruptively edit various articles - apparently mainly those regarding the war in Iraq. As an example on the Operation Telic page (let alone the iraq war page) he continually re-edits it to imply its an on-going mission; despite the fact it came to an end in 2009.

Hello, I wanted to say a few things but firstly to say thanks for sinebot - it is great :) I quite often make a number of edits in a day - and I do forget to sign some of them. I can't envision a time when I wouldn't want to. I wondered if there was a way to add arguments for sinebot so that I don't get the 'you forgot to sign stuff' message on my talk page. Or perhaps for it to know that there is already such a message on my page - so it doesn't need to post there again? Not a big issue - just thought I'd pass the suggestion on along with my thanks for the continued good work.

Hello!
Your boot recently informed an IP-number that he/she should sign the insult they recently placed on my discussion-page. I was insulted by this IP because I have reverted unreferenced changes the IP made which gave a great impression of being POW. I have posted a report on the IP:s behaviour on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Was this the right place to put my report?
This was the attack made by the IP on my user-page:

As you are an administrator, I wonder: can I remove the insult from my discussion-page? I have been told that you should not remove posts from discussion-pages. I also hope that you can direct me to the right place in wp to post my report on the IP, if I have placed it on the rong place now. Thank you! -- Aciram ( talk) 18:52, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi,
Thanks for your kind note on my talk page. I am new to editing Wikipedia and I am mainly interested in working on materials related to Nepal. Currently (and actually for about a year now) I am trying to upgrade the .svg image of the Coat of Arms of Nepal (Image). I even uploaded an upgraded version of the .svg file last summer but at some point later on an administrator took off the new image. I also uploaded a .gif file which was converted to .png by another user. This image (fortunately) has not been taken down image.
The continued use of this inaccurate image is particularly bothering because almost everyone on the Internet seems to be using the current image.
Also, it seems I can't re-upload the upgraded version of the file because it has already faced deletion once. Therefore I thought of asking you for help.
Thanks a lot for your attention to this matter.

Excuse me, Slakr, but you are wrong. I created a stub for this company that is referred to elsewhere in the Wikipedia (did you bother to check the links?) with the intent to get back to it later and flesh it out, and you speedy-deleted it. Your remark that it was "blatant advertising" is way off. This is an important company doing extremely valuable research. I have no affiliation or personal stake in this company, just happen to know about their work. I have been a contributor to the Wikipedia for some six and a half years, have made thousands of contributions and have created many articles. I urge you to undelete the article and give me a chance to get back to it and add more information. Pasquale ( talk) 15:14, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
If I may quote from Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion: "Administrators should take care not to speedy delete pages or media except in the most obvious cases. If a page has survived a prior deletion discussion, it should not be speedy deleted except for newly discovered copyright violations. Contributors sometimes create pages over several edits, so administrators should avoid deleting a page that appears incomplete too soon after its creation." Pasquale ( talk) 18:52, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
Dear sklar,
last week, you were approached by User:Kansas_Bear regarding his belief that I was engaging him in edit warring regarding my revisions to the Battle of Corunna page. In reply, you pointed out to him that I had not been warned earlier of what edit-warring was ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Schpinbo). As a newer editor to Wikipedia acting in good faith, I was not conversant with this rule; I hope you will agree that since that warning, I have refrained from edit-warring. If I have not, please let me know how I may still be continuing to err, and I will happily alter my behavior further.
The grounds upon which User:Kansas_Bear, in collaboration with User:Charles, have sought to undo my edits have been varied. For User:Kansas_Bear, the issue was the reliability of courses. He demonstrated that references used on Wikipedia should be published by reliable print sources, rather than web-based. I acceded to his points and have now provided that additional citation ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Battle_of_Corunna#British_Victory). User:Charles seems to believe that, because he disagrees with my POV regarding the history of the battle in question, he has the right to undo my edits. I have sought to address their complaints on both fronts. They have sought to undo my revisions, accusing me of disruptive editing, when it is I who have worked to address their concerns.
User:Charles has today seen fit to yet again revise one of my edits ( http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Battle_of_Corunna&action=history). When I removed a "reliability tag" that had been installed by User:Kansas_Bear, because his question about the reliability of sources had been addressed, User:Charles undid this revision, claiming "like hell it has." Sklar, may I ask you for your opinion on this matter? First, I find it puzzling that User:Charles, whose concern was not with reliability but with a POV issue, is now acting to support User:Kansas_Bear's concerns. User:Charles has yet to address the substance of my latest rejoinder to him regarding whether the battle in question can be regarded as a strategic victory for the French. Providing for the fact that History is a matter of interpretation and that interpretations differ among historians, I believe I have introduced compelling evidence that shows scholarly judgment backing my POV. I can find no reason for his posture on this score other than he will not allow for a POV other than his own. His latest edit of the Battle of Corunna page shows, I beleive, that he has no interest in seeking consensus or cooperation in the editing process ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CONSENSUS). User:Charles continues to act, in my view, like a "vested contributor", supposing it is his prerogative to simply reverse my edits without engaging in discussion with me ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_vested_contributors). His latest "warning" on my talk page is, in my view, an attempt to silence me because he does not like my POV.
May I ask you to weigh in on this issue?

Hi I understand you are kinda like the Wikipedia vigilante police, that's cool. I noticed the page for Amazon Mining was deleted. The company has a lot of environmental and agricultural significance, since they are working on developing a revolutionary fertilizer in Brazil that is better for the environment and will cost way less than the alternatives which currently have to be imported from Canada and Russia. Brazil has more available farmland than any other country, grows a wide variety of crops. It is world's leading produces of corn (from which enthanol oil is produced), soy (a major meat substitute and food additive) in processed food, as well as sugar cane and a myriad of others. Many observers, believe that Brazil will soon overtake all other nations as the world's largest food exporter, however the cost of fertilizer stands in the way. unless of course there's an alternative. Currently, Amazon Mining is the company developing it!
Unfortunately, being new to wikipedia, I don't completely understand how and what to cite in an article. However, the organization is very newsworthy, to the point that the stock jumped up from 93 cents to over $8 in one year. So???!? if it was deleted because the significance wasn't explained, my apologies for not explaining...however, it definitely belongs on Wiki. Since the invention of Thermopotash will eventually be responsible for feeding the world. My two cents.

You, of course, were the one who revoked my rollback privilege two months ago. You know what I was fighting against.

Your User:Sinebot page is clear about how you can opt out of having your postings signed by Sinebot even if you don't use ~~~~, but says nothing about when -- i.e. it does not mention the fact that opting out may be inappropriate in some cases.
The standard wording you get when editing a talk page says something like "Please respect the talk page guidelines. Sign your posts...". Taking this together with the ability to opt out as shown on the User:Sinebot page, I had been assuming that this sort of signature was merely a guideline. This weekend that assumption got me into a dispute that nearly got me blocked. This ended when WP:SIGN#Internal links was called to my attention and I realized I was wrong about it only being a guideline.
I think the section about opting out needs some added wording, with links to the appropriate pages, to help prevent others from making the same mistake I did.

Note that the page name is a function of month and year (today for example you would see Wikipedia:Questions/Archive/02/2011, where ويكيبيديا = Wikipedia, أسئلة=Questions, أرشيف=Arcive).-- Email4mobile ( talk) 02:05, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Your bot signed on a comment on my talk page in regards to alleged vandalism by me on the page noted in the subject. The page is the subject of edit warring and a user SCDUE persists in editing the page so that it contains factual inaccuracies and removes factual statements so that one college is better portrayed than the other. I have not vandalized that page, merely tried to keep it factually accurate and would like you to please examine both that page and the "threatening" comment posted on my talk page. Thanks for your help. -- Glawton 03:38, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Just wanted you to know that I liked your protection icons and have put them in place at English Wikibooks. This required porting them to Commons, but now that they are there, other projects and language Wikipedias can make use of them. So don't feel as though you wasted your time on them. They're getting plenty of use if you examine usage of the files at Commons. Adrignola ( talk) 00:41, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
You, of course, were the one who revoked my rollback privilege two months ago. You know what I was fighting against. I may not have told you this before, but I was up quite late that night, and that contributed to my Wiki-stress. Since then, I have used Twinkle to combat vandals, warning them without fail. Save for blatant vandalism, I only click the vandalism button when there has been un-explained mass removal of cited/sourced content, and that has only happened a few times. Since I use pop-ups, rollback will allow me to revert the damage without fail; pop-ups often fail to automatically load the next page. -- HXL 's Roundtable, and Record 22:21, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Has there been any consideration of not marking SineBot's edits as bot edits (like ClueBot's)? I ask because when somebody leaves a comment on a page I am watching, but forgets to sign, after SineBot adds the signature it disappears from my watchlist because I am hiding bot edits. – CWenger ( talk) 16:33, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello Slakr. I'm a sysop and bot operator ( tr:User:Khutuck Bot) at Turkish Wikipedia, and we need a signature bot badly. Is it possible (technically and personally) to use your bot at tr.wikipedia? Will it require high amounts of re-coding, or will changing en.wiki's to tr.wiki be enough? We already have users with 24/7 running computers, so computing power is not an issue. I'd be very happy if we can have a sign bot here too. Khutuck ( talk) 14:23, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
Wikilawyers have been trying to drive through a wording loophole in WP:BLP, saying ethnicity and gender of WP:EGRS don't apply to living persons, simply because the two words aren't in the policy. (Apparently, they think it should only apply to dead people.) I see that you have participated on this topic at the Village Pump.
They also are trying to remove the notability and relevance criteria at
WT:EGRS, but that's another fight for another day, I'm simply too busy to watch two fronts at the same time.

Hi Slakr. I'm going around helping bot owners to publish the source code of their bots on wikigit, a github organization created for this purpose. Publishing your source code ensures that others can take over maintainence of tools if the original author becomes unavailable and allows others to create bots based on yours. Very little effort is required - in the simplest case all you have to do is e-mail a ZIP of the source code to an owner. Please take a look at the options and let me know what you want to do. I'd also appreciate any feedback on the project since it's new. Thanks! Dcoetzee 18:17, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello Slakr. My name is Zach. I'm beginning to learn Python and I was wondering if you could help me in creating a bot. In python I can create a calculator, a Fibonacci generator, a prime number generator, and a generator of a numbers factors. I figured the next step would be to make a wiki bot. I understand that Sinebot is coded in php, not Python, but I was wondering if you could help me get started on making a bot similar to this for a wiki I contribute on. [5] You might laugh when you see how small this wiki is, but I still want to make a bot in python that will sign posts. I just want to use it as a mechanism to help me learn. I've tried the pywikipediabot, but the coding changes you have to make to families is very confusing. If you have the time I would very much appreciate it if you could help me find a starting point for this project. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zachoooo ( talk • contribs) 04:44, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello Slakr!
I'm a ptwiki user, and I'm lately surfing on enwiki to bring some ideas for the Lusophone project. I'm very interested in SineBot, because in ptwiki, when a user does not sign a message, we have to check the signature manually.
Would you help me in the process of translating the language of the robot program?
As on enwiki, we have to make a request, however I do not know anything about the technical function of creating a robot.
Can you help me?

Hi. I saw the block log today for 194.126.21.9 and I'm a little confused. It looks like ProcseeBot meant to block 213.175.165.130, but blocked this IP instead. I've attached the relevant entry below. If you could take a look, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Hi! Could you please assist. It appears we have a Vandal here who is using his "power" with WP to assert himself. On the Beagle 2 page, I originally wrote on the first para, that Beagle 2 "...may have missed Mars altogether, skipped off the atmosphere or entered an orbit around the sun, or burned up during its descent. If if reached the surface, then it may have hit too hard, or simply failed to contact Earth due to a fault". This was very concise, accurate, detailed and informative.
However, some time later, the "Vandal" complained of, Ruslik0, replaced this text with less informative, and misleading text which also doesn't inform the reader of all the possibilities which could have befallen the Beagle probe. I have undone his insertion on a number of occasions and I have written on the Discussion page about this Vandalism. Please see "Vandalism" and "Comment" on the Discussion page, which explains all of my reasons in detail.
However Ruslik0 simply kept blindly replacing my original wording with his -- and always without a word of explanation.
Lately, he has also deleted part of the History where all this was happening -- and locked the entire Article-- and again without a single word of explanation!
Sadly, there are on WP many who still display the "territorial ape" which is regrettably all too present in some people, and they simly get rattled if you "violate their space, where they have left their territorial marker". This is why he cannot provide any rational justification for his actions -- but at the same time he can't stop doing it. Could you please investigate the matter. WP deserves the very best in writing and informative standards and here we are definitely going backwards.
Thankyou. ( 204.112.57.207 ( talk) 18:07, 18 April 2011 (UTC)) I am also Valhalan; I was asked some years ago to be an administrator but alas I have a very demanding job which limits my time.

Hi, I'm writing in response to your deletion of Harvest (software). I created the page in October 2010 and it passed deletion review. The page was reviewed again last month and deleted. It was granted userification by the deleting administrator User:Sandstein. The following changes were made to the page: 1) Added a notable reference. Specifically, an article in the The Wall Street Journal. The link to the latter article was not on the page before deletion. 2) Added Harvest (software) to the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Computing, an effort to increase the quality and quantity of information about computing on Wikipedia. Before deletion, Harvest (software) was apart of Comparison of time tracking software, an informative article that is apart of the project.

As an uber-last resort, you could wait for the sock to reach the minimum edit count to be ignored by default, and thus necessitate {{

Or perhaps for it to know that there is already such a message on my page - so it doesn't need to post there again?

Hi,
Thanks for your kind note on my talk page. I am new to editing Wikipedia and I am mainly interested in working on materials related to Nepal. Currently (and actually for about a year now) I am trying to upgrade the .svg image of the Coat of Arms of Nepal (Image). I even uploaded an upgraded version of the .svg file last summer but at some point later on an administrator took off the new image. I also uploaded a .gif file which was converted to .png by another user. This image (fortunately) has not been taken down image.
The continued use of this inaccurate image is particularly bothering because almost everyone on the Internet seems to be using the current image.
Also, it seems I can't re-upload the upgraded version of the file because it has already faced deletion once. Therefore I thought of asking you for help.
Thanks a lot for your attention to this matter.
