Files were deleted because of no acceptable FOP in Laos, which is true. However, enwiki can host unfree buildings through {{FoP-USonly}}. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 03:57, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Why wasn't restoration requested at REFUND? Both of these files were deleted via nominations that received no comments. Courtesy ping for @ShakespeareFan00 -FASTILY 07:59, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Corrected the links to the deletion discussion. Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion has a giant notice saying that deletions pursuant to deletion discussions can't be appealed there and the deletions weren't marked as "soft deletion", either. So I can see why this was brought here. Anyhow, yes, enwiki only considers US copyrights and freedom of panorama applies here. So restore. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 11:44, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- With all due respect, that sounds a lot like pointless bureaucracy, which has no business being on Wikipedia. -FASTILY 21:43, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't disagree, but the fact of the matter is that under these circumstances people are going to come here rather than at REFUND. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:29, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- JWilz12345, did you attempt to discuss the issue with the closing admin as WP:DELREVD instructs? Cases like these can be resolved a lot more quickly and don't require DRV at all. ✗plicit 15:00, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Explicit: I might get another note from there saying that such restorations must be made here as the files were deleted through a discussion page, notwithstanding the level of participation in those deletion requests (FFD/PUF), like the case of a Le Corbusier building from France (which I requested to be restored via Deletion Review recently). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 15:43, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- As per requesting admins, I cannot determine who are still admins today and who are no longer admins, unlike Commons that has the feature to mark admins with "A" designation just beside their usernames (which I activated last year). I cannot tediously check on the deleting admins' current user rights statuses as I had been busy compiling deleted enwiki files at this userspace page of mine for reference. (P.S.: I found such FFDs via [1].) JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 15:47, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I would imagine the number of people deleting is relatively small, so checking if they are still active (admin or not) and asking doesn't sound like a big tedious process, if they are no longer an admin or not willing to undelete they will tell you, doesn't sound like a massive drain to me, certainly no more effort than a listing at DRV. At a worst reading you are suggesting your time is too valuable, but time of DRV participants isn't. Notwithstanding a solution such as Hobit suggests below is probably the right way to go. --81.100.164.154 (talk) 06:05, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @81.100.164.154: you don't know my real life schedules. I am a college student that has experienced some mental stress and breakdown lately, yet I was still able to make this tabular list of deleted files due to no FOP (now mostly via FFD, I will add deleted files via PUF around next month). But I may need to do my usual real life (off-wiki) errands which will slow down my expansion of that tabular list. Be more cautious in your comments, you may not know the real life errands and also off-wiki stress of users like me that conflict with my contribution to that userspace tabular list of mine, which I created in my belief that someday in the future some of no-FOP countries will introduce commercial FOP, and to ease the burden of other users of tediously searching the FFD/PUF deletion requests. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 07:50, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Exactly you have no idea about all the other users here, what priorities, stresses and otherwise they may have, so it's not clear why you'd be adverse to taking a different approach when queried, which in the end may be less burden all around. You didn't answer how it would be more onerous to group and ask the original deleting admins (who may either may say "no" for some reason (in which case DRV is still an option), or I suspect in many cases, if explained you intend to tag the undeletions correctly, will just do it) would be such a huge burden on you compared to listing them one by one on DRV. --81.100.164.154 (talk) 18:38, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @JWilz12345: The English Wikipedia does have some user scripts that can make admin identification easier. One example is User:Amorymeltzer/crathighlighter, which highlights admin usernames in blue—you can install it by adding the text
{{subst:iusc|User:Amorymeltzer/crathighlighter.js}} to the bottom of your common.js page at User:JWilz12345/common.js. Mz7 (talk) 02:16, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks Mz7. I'll add it now. Though I am final in my withdrawal of these two requests. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 02:20, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @JWilz12345: I hope you reconsider. The IP above was definitely out of line in suggesting that you were considering your time as more valuable than other editors. The reality is that it seems like you've already put in a lot of time and energy into investigating these files, which would improve the encyclopedia if we could restore them. I would hate to have it all go to waste. Mz7 (talk) 02:31, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Withdraw my request for deletion review/undeletion: after some discouraging inputs by an IP user (which simply isn't true!), I felt the lack of appetite to pursue this deletion review / restoration. Therefore I withdraw my request. No more mood to continue this request for restoration. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 00:57, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
