Low-res image was moved to Commons; not sure what process to use

I have a question about File:1925-1926 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team.png, and I'm asking you because (1) you were the deleting admin and (2) you know the processes better than I do.

This image was non-free when uploaded, but copyright expired in 2022. Only the low-resolution reduction was transferred to Commons, while the high-resolution original upload remains in the deleted history here. I tried to download the high-res image to disk and upload on top of the Commons image with attribution, but I don't have the requisite permissions to overwrite at Commons.

Where can I request this type of operation? I suppose I could undelete the full-res file here and tag as {{Incomplete move to Commons}} for further attention, but this may be too confusing. There are undoubtedly more files in this situation. Wikiacc (¶) 02:05, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

@Wikiacc: I have exported it with the original revision, you can now simply reverted to it on Commons. ✗plicit 03:36, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! Based on what you did, it looks like the next time I see this situation, I'll tag the Commons file for speedy deletion under G5, undelete the file here, and then do the export properly. Wikiacc (¶) 21:32, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

anti-jewish pogroms by Muslims

Hey, why was this article (Category:Anti-Jewish pogroms by Muslims - Wikipedia) deleted? Guyveru01 (talk) 11:44, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

@Guyveru01: Hi, Category:Anti-Jewish pogroms by Muslims was deleted because there was consensus to split the category into Category:Anti-Jewish pogroms in the Middle East and Category:Anti-Jewish pogroms in North Africa as a result of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 April 18#Category:Anti-Jewish pogroms by Muslims. ✗plicit 00:11, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Undelete page

Hi, I noticed you closed this PROD a while back. I would like to request undeletion. The concern was "Unused, obviously incorrect license tag (not PD-US), but unclear if this is eligible for Commons. Esoteric file format, dubious encyclopedic value".

• "Unused" - Can just be transferred to Commons, File:Chittenden Hotel 1963.tif is a crop of this image so might as well have this image around
• "obviously incorrect license tag" - image was made in 1963, likely published somewhere without notice. Website also states "No known copyright restrictions", it is unlikely these photos went unpublished.
• "esoteric file format" - tif is in no way esoteric
• "dubious encyclopedic value" - the cropped image I linked is being used in Wikipedia. Clear c:COM:EDUSE.

Knightfall merge

Hello Explicit, per WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 May 13#Knightfall (comics), can you add the {{merge}} tag to Knightfall (character) to merge to either List of Batman supporting characters or List of DC Comics characters: K, the current target, or may I do it?

Deletion of Alaa Najjar

hi can you check the news again in this article i think should be go to delete not relaibel sources and not good sources Hi mana oh w0 (talk) 06:14, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

(talk page watcher)@Hi mana oh w0: I'm not Explicit, but I just want to let you know that the "Alaa Najjar" article was actually nominated for deletion a few years ago but was kept per the consensus established at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alaa Najjar. Have you taken a look at that discussion? I guess, in principle, you can nominate the article for deletion a second time if you really think it needs to be discussed again. If, however, you decide to do that and just simply repeat the same delete arguments made in the previous discussion, you're unlikely going to gain any real support from others. In addition, since you've only made two edits with your account so far, and both have been related to trying to get this article deleted, others will likely wonder about your reasons for soing so. Is your interest in having this article deleted perhaps related to reasons not havning anything to do with Wikipedia? To be honest, it's a bit odd when someone randomly appears out of the blue and create an account simply for the purpose of seeking an article's deletion, and it kind of gives the impression that there may be something more going on that's not really Wikipedia related. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:48, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Ok thanks @Marchjuly but @M7 has other opinions about this article and This article only contains sources from local sites and mentions his name in passing and does not meet the standards Hi mana oh w0 (talk) 09:08, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Sorry this Admin User:Mz7 Hi mana oh w0 (talk) 09:10, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Ah ok. I was mentioned, but I've never interacted on this. --M/ (talk) 09:11, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Deletion review for Page nameKarin van der Laag

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Page nameKarin van der Laag. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. on their talk page. Karinvanderlaag (talk) 18:21, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

I imagine that the editor is having trouble creating the DR. Sometimes the instructions can seem arcane. I wonder, Explicit, if you would be kind enough to assist them. Please see the foot of their user talk page where I suggested primarily that they discuss this with you, but I think they are trying to move to a review. They did not create the article, nor !vote in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Karin Van Der Laag, but mangled it when trying to set up the DR. You will notice that their interest in the article is that it is about them. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 18:32, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

I do not anticipate your close to be overturned. There has been a set of heated discussions by various editors with the editor, and a discussion with you may help. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 20:44, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
