== Image file deletion == | |||
Hi Angela, a quick note about why I deleted your image file. I have recently been trying to tidy and categorise our 3,000+ [[Special:UncategorizedFiles|uncategorised image files]], and I have been aware that some files are devoid of actual images. I discovered that sometime ago (around 2007-ish, and long before I became involved here), WikiIndex had a server crash which resulted in the loss of some images from image files, and yours was like this. I have simply been culling these 'empty' image files by deleting them; which then creates a red link in any affected article infobox. This red link should then recategorise affected articles into one of broken file links (a 'maintainance category') - which should then prompt editors to either hotlink to wiki logo files, or re-upload images here to WikiIndex. Unfortunately, your own wiki is now offline, so we can't hotlink to an image - but we would be delighted if you would like to upload another image of yourself here on WikiIndex. If you wish, I can undelete your original image file (and I presume you can re-upload to that filename), or you can create a fresh file name - I'll gladly follow your wishes. I hope this clarifies the issue, peace and warmest regards from a fellow Brit in a chilly Blighty :) [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 13:44, 17 October 2012 (PDT) | |||
