Image Reversion Help[edit]

I was considering posting this, but after looking into the process to getting rights (Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship) to restore deleted files, I found this article (Wikipedia:Deletion_policy) which had the information I was looking for. Note: images should be tagged Template:Non-free_no_reduce.


I've found several images that were being used correctly, but where modified by bots to make all text and detail completely indecipherable. This wouldn't be so bad except the bots also marked the previous images as F5 so they would be deleted. What can be done to fix this? When I visit the these images' pages I see their history, but there is no option to fix the damage that has been done to them. Here are just a few examples of some of the images that have been ruined by bots:

Mascarene grey parakeet

The Mascarene grey parakeet (Psittacula bensoni) was a parrot from the Mascarene islands of Mauritius and Réunion in the western Indian Ocean that became extinct by the 1760s. It has been classified as a member of the tribe Psittaculini, along with other parrots from the islands. Subfossil bones of this parakeet found on Mauritius were very similar to those of other Mascarene parrots. The subfossils were connected with 17th- and 18th-century descriptions of small grey parrots on Mauritius and Réunion, together with a single illustration published in a journal describing a voyage in 1602. The Mascarene grey parakeets had long tails and were larger than the many green species of the genus Psittacula. They were hunted for their meat, and were considered to be crop pests. Captured individuals would call out to summon a whole flock, a behaviour that may have contributed to their rapid annihilation. Deforestation was also a factor in their extinction. (Full article...)
