PROD of Hippo Press

Hi, I see you deleted the article for the Hippo Press, a well-known publisher here in New Hampshire. I did not have time to react to the PROD before it expired. Could you please restore the page so that editors can have a proper chance to assert its notability? Thanks. Cooljeanius (talk) (contribs) 23:45, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

@Cooljeanius: Done – as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored upon request. ✗plicit 23:47, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Photo of Virginia Giuffre

Hello Explicit, I see that the photo on Giuffre’s biography was recently deleted per your request. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Virginia_Giuffre_holds_a_photo_of_her_younger_self.jpg I am not the editor that added this image but I am perplexed as to why the image is not qualified for fair use. She is dead - so it is not possible to photograph her. What available images might qualify instead? Cedar777 (talk) 16:05, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

@Cedar777: Hi, this file was not deleted as replaceable fair use, but for not respecting commercial opportunities. Photos from sources like the AP, Getty, etc., are almost never allowed and can be deleted immediately. You can use other types of non-free photos for this particular subject, but not from press or photo agencies. ✗plicit 23:30, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Trying to re-upload an orphaned image

Hi, I uploaded an image directly to Wikipedia of Wifiskeleton a little while ago, but I later ended up replacing it with an image I uploaded to Commons. Since the fair use image wasn't being used on any pages, you deleted it. However, I apparently misunderstood the Commons licensing I uploaded the image under, and the image has been taken down. I'm trying to re-upload the image directly to Wikipedia like it was before, but when I tried to, I got a warning template saying I "should ask someone with the ability to view suppressed file data to review the situation before proceeding to re-upload it." Could you help? Thanks! NP2026 (talk) 00:00, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

@Explicit: hello? NP2026 (talk) 23:17, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

@NP2026: Hi, can you provide a link to the relevant file? I can't guess which file you're referring to. ✗plicit 23:30, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

@Explicit: Oh, sorry lol. The page doesn't exist since you deleted it but here's the deletion log page. NP2026 (talk) 00:31, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

About a page you deleted

Hello @Explicit: I understand you deleted the page Beyond Limits F.A. since the user who created it has been blocked/banned. Can it be undeleted or rather can I retrieve the material for re-creation since it is notable on its own right? Jô^hola 10:07, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

Don Wharton page deletion

On May 6, the Don Wharton page was deleted right on the verge of a big expansion of his online presence. Don has released 20 albums, has written almost 10 books, and had a notable speaking and concert tour career. His vast catalog is just now (May 9, 2026) starting to hit streaming services and I went looking for his Wikipedia page to give it significant upgrades. How can we get it restored? Thank you! ~2026-21229-10 (talk) 04:21, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

Redirect of The Frenchman (The Boys character) and The Female (The Boys character) articles

Hello, it appears that you have redirected the articles in the subject line The Frenchman (The Boys character) and The Female (The Boys character) to the general character page, there are links that redirect it back to the same article.

The history of both articles show that they were redirected because of "Sockpuppet edits". Could you clarify which edits were "sockpuppet edits" that were reverted? As it stands now, it doesn't look like either article was subject to sockpuppet edits or were experiencing vandalism. If the issue was notability, shouldn't that be marked as the reason for the redirect?

Thank you ~2026-28573-71 (talk) 00:19, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Does this apply to Cassidy (Preacher) too, and should I revert that creation? -- Reconrabbit (talk) 13:52, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Galle Marvels logo.png

Thanks for uploading File:Galle Marvels logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:17, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Category removal

Hi Explicit. You removed the category 'Public observances in Israel' which correctly replaced the wholly inappropriate use of the category 'Public holidays in Israel'. I have reverted this for the reason stated, so there is a page using this category. I do not know how to remove a tag in Wikipedia. Please could you do it for me so the category remains. Many thanks.

Add some logos

Can you add logos for Jaffna Kings and Galle Gallants and a proper logo for Kandy Falcons? Thank you! Janeesh 22 (talk) 14:27, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Apologies for all the notifications you've inevitably received - I have restored the article (and therefore incoming links), removed the PROD, and added some initial sources. I think it's needs AFD if anything. GiantSnowman 15:14, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Rollback?

Hi, I saw you first on the list of recently active admins. Could I call your attention to User talk:Jeffrey34555#Wikilinks to The Critic? A user made 500+ changes to wikilinks following a page move, many of them erroneous. I'm not sure I have the technical capabilities to revert the changes. Thank you, Wracking ^talk! 00:16, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
