Pinging @Felix QW Pinging @Explicit

Could you, please, let me know which is the proccedure to re-upload File:Dimitrios Ntouskas 1955.jpg, as it is now more that 70 years since it was taken by an unknown photographer? If I remember well, you had said that there is an automatic way for the deleted files to be uploaded again, after the 70 year period has passed.

your actions on people vs humans

your close & revert decision was unjustified. (even if you chose to close it as stale, going around reverting was NOT appropriate for a no-decision discussion, esp when the "revert" was to the NON-STANDARD, more awkward, contested format)

'human' WAS the standard format for such categoeries, & has been for many years. i know, because i help organise the category schema in the first place.

'people' was the non-consensus, spam-change; mostly by one editor. after creating, declaring victory & closing THEIR OWN DISCUSSION proposing the change from 'human' to 'people'; viz. https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Categories_for_discussion/2024/08/Category:Male_humans&action=history

also the format 'male people ...x' & 'female people.... x' is just obvious BAD , clumsy english.

AND based on the edit history of the categories that you "reverted", there are at least 2 ppl who favour 'human' & you are the only 1 who favours 'people'. Lx 121 (talk) 09:27, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
