Hi Deadstar - thanks for the Wikipedia message, thought it might be easier to reply here. Commons:Batch_uploading/Wellcome_Images should hopefully give some context for the files - they were batch uploaded in 2014 and there were some challenges linked with the huge number being put up - see this 2016 follow-up for example: Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Wellcome DR request for RAMC. I think the images recently flagged will be the same situation as many of the RAMC ones.

I wasn't there back then, and am no longer there now, but I hope that context is helpful and if there's anything further I can do to help you get in touch with anyone, let me know. Zeromonk (talk) 14:28, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Zeromonk: Thank you - I think I've done what we can do for now so we'll see. I don't think there's a current WiR at Wellcome I take it? -- Deadstar (msg) 14:35, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! There is no longer a WiR but there are folks who can do some editing still, I believe. Zeromonk (talk) 10:58, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, I noticed that you've made a malformed deletion request: not including year, month, or day; not creating the subpage; not notifying; and not transcluding. Here, {{Delete}} is not for speedy deletion, please see COM:DP. When you want to delete a page by manually using the {{Delete}} template (rather than the automatic Nominate for deletion or Nominate category for discussion tool in the Tools menu on the sidebar provided by the AjaxQuickDelete gadget per subpolicy procedures COM:DR#Starting requests and COM:CFD#Starting requests), you MUST follow the instructions in the template, including the "Click here to show further instructions" portion (or Commons:Deletion requests/Listing a request manually policy or the "By hand" portion of subpolicy procedure COM:CFD#Starting requests, normally collapsed), otherwise you will create a lot of work for other people. Warning: such edits are not tolerated and have led to account blocks, as "We cannot work here with people who are not willing to follow our procedures, in particular for deletion requests."   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:47, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I apologise, not sure what happened. -- Deadstar (msg) 16:46, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
