Re Special:Diff/1059624657

The file was deleted with no permission and then recreated. It's blatant F5, it doesn't deserve seven more days without permission. Jonteemil (talk) 12:07, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

@Jonteemil: Then you should explain that it was previously deleted. Just putting a simple "F5" without explanation is not a valid speedy nomination. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:33, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

Pending inquiry

Hi, King of Hearts! As you probably noticed, Claudiupt agreed to the deletion of the file file:Monumentul Eroilor din orașul Brezoi.jpg, since he cannot prove that he is the author of the controversial photo. Should I make a new formal DR? --Pafsanias (talk) 05:23, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

@Pafsanias: Sure. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 16:31, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Done. --Pafsanias (talk) 06:32, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
