If you're here about an image, try asking your question at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.
The simple answer: I didn't. Someone else did.
The full answer: If you're coming here to ask about an image, it probably was deleted because you forgot to note where you got the image from, or you forgot to indicate the copyright status of the image. See Wikipedia:Image use policy for more information on what you need to do when uploading images.
The image is not under a free license. There are three things that the image creator needs to permit for an image to be under a free license:
A permission to copy covers #1, but does not permit #2 (which is what lets Wikipedia use it in an article), and does not permit #3 (which is what permits us to distribute Wikipedia, and what permits people to re-use Wikipedia content).
Simple permission is not good enough. The image owner could revoke permission at any time, and the image can't be reused anywhere else: not in Wiktionary, not in Wikibooks, and possibly not in the other languages Wikipedia is available in. It also prevents people from re-using Wikipedia content. Wikipedia is a free content encyclopedia, so any image should be under a free license. Simple permission fails all three points of what constitutes a free license.
The Wikimedia Foundation, the organization that runs Wikipedia, is registered as a non-profit organization. That doesn't mean it's noncommercial, though: the German Wikipedia, for example, sells copies of the encyclopedia on CD-ROM as a fundraising measure. Further, Wikipedia is a free content encyclopedia, so any image should be under a free license. Any license with a "no commercial use" clause fails all three points of what constitutes a free license.
Wikipedia articles are intended to educate, yes. But "educational purposes" is a very vague term. The creator of the image could mean that they only want the image to be used by universities and the like, or they might object to Wikipedia's coverage of popular culture. It's best to stay away from images with such vague terms.
Further, Wikipedia is a free content encyclopedia, so any image should be under a free license. Any license with an "educational use only" clause fails all three points of what constitutes a free license.
Wrong. In the United States, under the Berne Convention Implementation Act of 1988, every tangible work of creative effort created after March 1, 1989 is automatically copyrighted. Including a copyright statement gives you a stronger position if you file a copyright infringement lawsuit, and you need to register your copyright with the Library of Congress to file the lawsuit, but neither step is needed to get a copyright in the first place.
Wrong. Anyone can see a book in a public library, or a painting in an art gallery, but that doesn't mean those are in the public domain. The Internet is no different.
Wrong. In the United States, copyright lasts a very long time. As a rule of thumb, everything published in 1923 or later is copyrighted.

Hello, Carnildo.
My name is Rick Jensen. I was doing some reading and research into the United States' first ironclads when I discovered your article on the Talk page of the CSS Virginia web page.
I would like to add the start and finish dates for the completion of the reconstruction from the USS Merrimack into the CSS Virginia to the article's web page. However, I do not know where you found your information for your article. So, I am reluctant to change the current page without being able to cite a reference for the dates.
Any assistance that you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hey,
Any chance you could set up some form of automatic archiving on the bot's talk page - it is really too long to navigate. If not, I may consider doing so, as it is far too long for me to read through to find if my issue has been reported (Tagging files with a valid non-free use rational with missing data).

I don't know why you removed the two images that you did, one that pictured the first Skaggs-Safeway name and its first president, MB Skaggs, and one of a picture of both MB and his wife. I received written permission to use both of those images without restriction so, unless I failed to tag the images correctly, they SHOULDN'T have been deleted. The first one is the ONLY image showing that Safeway Stores began as Skaggs-Safeway, a very important point in the history! I can't now find the images because you have deleted them. Please tell me why! Thanks, Don Nielson — Preceding unsigned comment added by Don Nielson (talk • contribs) 21:59, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello Carnildo. You tagged an image for deletion, but you did not notify the uploader that it had been so tagged. There is strong consensus that the uploaders of images tagged for deletion should be notified and that the person placing the tag has that responsibility. Part 3 of the instructions at FfD contain a pre-formatted warning for this purpose—just copy and paste to the uploader's talk page. The image in question was discussed here. Thank you. Etamni | ✉ | ✓ 23:30, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
I see you created File:Continental_models-Australia.gif by modifying the text of a similar graphic. I would like to use a variation of this on the Maori wikipedia but with the text translated. I know little about graphics and have never tried to edit an animated GIF, and there doesn't appear to be a regular editor on mi with such skills.
If you don't have time or inclination to help, I entirely understand. This is not urgent. I can ask at Commons:Graphic Lab if you can't do it.
The changes I would like are:
The parts in brackets are for your understanding, not to be included in the image. The macrons (lines above some vowels) are important.
Please upload the new version to Commons:File:Continental models mi.gif as the Maori Wikipedia has a policy of not storing image files itself.
If you are interested in the discussion which prompted this request, you can see it at mi:Talk:Paparahi.
Thanks in advance.-gadfium 01:59, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
Just FYI, ImageRemovalBot did quite a number on Situation awareness by removing image "links" within ((Plain image with caption)) templates.

Some time before I operated a bot in ru.wikipedia that deleted image transclusions in the articles and the bot was based on CommonsDelinker system.

The ImageTaggingBot tagged this as no source. While technically true, a FUR does not require a source per the template. The template automatically fills in the source field with "The poster art can or could be obtained from the distributor." if it is not included. I went back and added a link but it seems a little unnecessary to tag an image for deletion when the template autofills in that information in compliance with non-free use requirements. --Majora (talk) 22:12, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

A specially created image was placed and I recieved this response...
"Speedy deletion nomination of File:Chariot Images from lost in Space (2018).jpg[edit source]
A tag has been placed on File:Chariot Images from lost in Space (2018).jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the ((Non-free fair use))
tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it."
I did re-upload as suggested but it was ddleted again by the bot. Tt may have been an error where I placed the ((Non-free fair use))

Good work from the bot here, but I'll occasionally find articles where it's taken out a deleted lead image and nobody's reacted to replace it with something else. I've just fixed up Shadowgraphy (performing art), which has been without a lead image for five years, despite replacements being easily found on commons. Would it be worth the bot adding a maintenance category when erasing the only image from a lead section (and/or the only image from an article), so that humans interested in fixing these issues can do so? --Lord Belbury (talk) 12:22, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Can I ask why you remove the images?? AslanLionheart (talk) 21:56, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi. Could you tell ImageRemovalBot to, when commenting out images with two or more line breaks either side of the image, either to place the opening <!-- at the end of the previous line or to place the ending --> at the start of the next line. What it's doing at the moment has the effect that it effectively leaves three line breaks, meaning there is a noticeable 'gap' in the middle of an article.--Launchballer 01:43, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
ImageTaggingBot said an image I uploaded (ContrabandVelvetRevolverAltCover.png) wasn't tagged when it had a non-free fair use rational on it. I'd like to know what happened with the bot to flag it. ItsCreamfan (talk) 01:57, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

The template below was left on my user page but appears to be erroneous. Please note the following issues:
Thanks for uploading File:Kristoffer Domeij.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.
To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 13:30, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Should have checked my revision (1014448688) further before applying it. Sincerely, Deauthorized. (talk) 04:05, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
Hello!
File:Religious Zionist party logo 2022.svg hasn't seemed to have had a license for its entire existing. Why hasn't it been tagged as a file without a license? Jonteemil (talk) 22:40, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed that at Tam O'Shaughnessy, the image's file border remains after the deleted image was removed by ImageRemovalBot. I was wondering if the file border could also automatically be removed when a deleted image is removed by ImageRemovalBot. Thanks! MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:08, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello. You are listed as a member of the Bot Approvals Group but it appears you may not be actively helping in this area anymore. Do you intend to return to BAG-related activity on Wikipedia, or are you happy to be removed from this list? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:56, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
This edit by ImageRemovalBot deleted one of two images used with Template:Multiple image, resulting in a single over-sized and distorted image looking like a mess. Please note, I am not contesting why the image was deleted. I wonder if there is a better way to remove the image from the page without the resutling mess? This could be a unique situation where the bot flags the page for manual deletion? Best wishes. Flibirigit (talk) 00:19, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
