If you remove an image from an article, you should list the article it used to be at, so there can be effective community review of whether the image should be deleted or not. This is necessary because the image pages do not remember the articles they used to be used on.

  • There's a lot of junk in User:Silsor/weirdmedia that needs to be deleted - I already deleted some obvious ones, like an Outlook Express executable. silsor 06:53, Feb 17, 2004 (UTC)

  • Image:TeamRocket.png - orphaned unoptimized duplicate Guanaco 04:39, 2 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's not orphaned - it's still at Team Rocket. It looks like you tried to switch to the optimized picture, but there was no change to the article. In any case, the optimized picture should be uploaded over TeamRocket.png and the unnecessary duplicate Image:TeamRocket2.png should then be deleted. DopefishJustin 06:42, May 2, 2004 (UTC)
      • It's orphaned now. I just missed Team Rocket when I redirected the links to the new image. I didn't upload it over Image:TeamRocket.png because of a major caching bug that causes it to keep the old image or some form of it. Guanaco 18:29, 2 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
        • Are you sure it's not just a cache problem on your end? Try deleting your browser cache or doing Shift- or Control-Reload. If it's on Wikipedia's end, it'll probably be automatically refreshed after a while (I know that's how thumbnails work). DopefishJustin 22:36, May 2, 2004 (UTC)

I didn't leave a message on the user's talk page, because she's only made four updates, all in February or so, and no one's welcomed her yet. If someone wants to do that, please make a note of why her images have vanished, too. Grendelkhan 17:15, 2004 May 12 (UTC)

Image:TerroistBeheading.png - this is the image of the severed head of Nick Berg. There is no reason this should be in Wikipedia. It has no encyclopedic value and it is humiliating to the family. Dori | Talk 20:56, May 12, 2004 (UTC)

  • Additionally, the following was just posted to Image talk:TerroistBeheading.png by user 217.44.227.226 (20:32, 13 May 2004):
    • Just wanted to say keep the video. It's important for people who can stand it to be able to see for themselves what is shown. I'm horrified, sorry for the family and outraged, but now I KNOW. Mona

  • A little less controversial here: I've completed as much of the task at /Flags as I could---see that page for explanations---and so all of the Foo flag medium.png files should be up for deletion, as they are obsolete thumbnails, each obsoleted by Foo flag large.png|125px. They're listed on the /Flags page. Grendelkhan 00:32, 2004 May 13 (UTC)

  • Image:Geo_prizm.jpeg - uploaded with an incorrect filename; actually a Geo Metro
    • It's also tiny. Ick. You should sign your additions here, by the way---just type ~~~~ after your post, and it'll sign it. Grendelkhan 03:55, 2004 May 14 (UTC)
