User:Musiccomposersg/sandbox

Hi, Musiccomposersg contacted me about a deleted article draft. The message they received indicates it was deleted for WP:G11. The page log mentions WP:U5. Can you give us some background on what happened here and whether this material can be recovered and improved? ~Kvng (talk) 01:33, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kvng. This is a promotional/spam piece. Appreciate your AGF, but I don't think the author has the best intentions here. -Fastily 20:25, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I guess Wikipedia:Deletion review is their only option now. ~Kvng (talk) 21:25, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thank you ~kvng. hi ~fastily admittedly i'm new to wikipedia and don't know the right metrics on how to seem legit here. everything from my article can be sourced from a reference site, articles or relevant sources. I need a bit of help and guidance to understand how to do that properly. if you would be open to sharing any information about what I could have done to make my article non promotional / spam i would appreciate some insight and help so i can be compliant Musiccomposersg (talk) 02:14, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

wow...scolding people is not required and i dont understand why you have to be so rude. if you don't want to help you can say "sorry i can't help you" Musiccomposersg (talk) 04:16, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh really? Like I said, use of Wikipedia for advertising/promotional purposes is strictly prohibited. Perhaps you should explain to me why I shouldn't block you right now. -Fastily 04:37, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question about the sandbox

Good evening @Fastily, do we have to make a deletion request to reset the sandbox and its history to create another topic that has nothing to do with it? Or is there a manipulation to be done? SparklingBlueMoon (talk) 22:24, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SparklingBlueMoon. I'm assuming you're referring to User:SparklingBlueMoon/sandbox. No, requesting deletion is optional, you can blank the sandbox if you so choose. -Fastily 00:19, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:K. Uppi Saheb.jpg

Hi Fastily. Can you take a look at File:K. Uppi Saheb.jpg? It looks like it's been overwritten and either needs to be split or needs an updating of the rationale/license. FWIW, I don't think the user who uploaded the most recent version is its copyright holder, but not sure. It also looks like it might be an AI-generated image. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:58, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Marchjuly. I've split the history and moved the newly uploaded file to File:K. Uppi Saheb 1.jpg. Regards, Fastily 10:37, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking a look at this. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:12, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Bafaki Tangal.jpg appears to be another case of this, and it also seems to be the same user as above. I've reverted this one back to the non-free, but the overwritten versions probably need to be split. This user seems to be updating files with their versions and adding a free license, but providing no other information and leaving the non-free rationales as is. This isn't only creating overwritten files, but it's also creating license conflicts. Their account isn't new per se, but for some reason they decided to start uploading images yesterday; so, it could be just a newbie mistake. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:28, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
