the Jo Palmer MLC image is sourced at the link provided where the relevant department has provided licensing information.

@DeadlyRampage26 Please provide link where the Jo Palmer MLC image was published. The link you gave needs to include this image to indicate that it was made by the department. Regarding Michael Kent's image, thank you for contributing it and please ask her to send a permission to "permissions-commons@wikimedia.org" using work email . Here is the email template. Looking forward to your good news! 0x0a (talk) 13:51, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
One more thing. I've obtained the high res image. You can include the URL (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Michael_Kent_AM.jpg) of this file in the email to help VRT agents associate the email with it. 0x0a (talk) 14:36, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vinuka2002

  • User: Vinuka2002 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) 
  • Reasons for reporting: The user came back after four years to badly request deletion of all eight of their WLE uploads, with no reason other than "uploader request", in ignorance of the irrevocability of their cc-by-sa-4.0 licenses. They appear to be implementing some sort of "scorched earth" policy.

Asking for a courtesy deletion doesn't go against the license tho so i would hardly call them ignorant Trade (talk) 22:36, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. Really uploaded one out-of-scope file after warning, but as the user has no activity for more than 2 years, blocking is not practical. Taivo (talk) 10:18, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
