Issue on deleting all videos i posted

For what it's worth, this is really not where this discussion should have happened, but since it began here, let us let it proceed. - Jmabel ! talk 20:02, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

the above video were my own work meant to educate people on Rites and rituals in Zimbabwe. I struggled to post these videos as it was not simple like posting pictures. I did not even see the license issues it was not there. Please help keep the videos because they are of great value under rites and rituals. Mawakhiwe (talk) 08:08, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

@Mawakhiwe: Hi, and welcome. Please choose a license and version from COM:L like {{Cc-by-4.0}}, indicate that on your uploads' file description pages, and also indicate that on Commons:Deletion requests/File:Traditional dance Bulawayo Zimbabwe.webm and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Grandmothers teaching Girls how to pound maize to make samp.webm. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:46, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

@Mawakhiwe: You added {{LicenceReview}} to your own pages, indicating that the content was first published elsewhere, and that the license needs to be reviewed. Did you mean to do that? If not, we can remove it. If you did mean to do that, where was it first published? - Jmabel ! talk 20:02, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

i did not mean that i needed you to review the Deleting Recommend action you made on my videos. Am very sory everything is confusing me. I do not even understand what i am suppose to do.

Pictures were easy to post but videos were very hard to post and they did not give me clear instructions on what to do and what not to do Mawakhiwe (talk) 01:11, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

i personally published all the work posted. Its just the confusion i have on the license issue. Mawakhiwe (talk) 01:21, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

@Mawakhiwe: Let me ask directly: were any of these files posted elsewhere on the Internet before they were posted to Commons? - Jmabel ! talk 05:26, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

no there were only posted here Mawakhiwe (talk) 19:15, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

@Mawakhiwe: So why add {{LicenceReview}}? — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 21:35, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: given what she says here, it doesn't really matter why she added it, I'll remove it since it was clearly an error. - Jmabel ! talk 22:30, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
