How Wikipedia rolls? How does it? Deleting
legitimate articles and images
because someone at the other end dont know the true origin and considers
every celeb image on Wikipedia to be copyright?

Is that one of your policies too !!!
I used to be in flames and be super furious but after I realized how we
roll I just chilled. So unfortunately this is how we roll don't worry just
chill and keep on editing, the machines will decide if your edits are
worthy to be part of sum of all human knowledge.

There are many policies on Wikipedia, and I also
joined with my own
policies.
One is, if a legitimate content I upload to Wikipedia is deleted by
someone or something at the other end of the world, I dont and won't
contest for its undeletion. Never!
I received these images listed here that has been marked for deletion (
see close to bottom of page)
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Nkansahrexford#File:Peace_Hyde…
explicitly from either the celeb herself or from her manager.
They are nominated for deletion.
An article about Ashesi University's found that has seen about 200,000
views since it was started has been nominated for deletion on grounds that
make no sense.
"Patrick Awuah, Jr." on @Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Awuah%2C_Jr.
Just saying.
Contributions from well meaning individuals go to fix the imbalance
whatever of africa we all preach about, and IP addresses delete them
without any substantive reasons. And no one cares. Feels to me machines do
those deletions instead of humans.
Are machines taking over editing on Wikipedia? Or because of these
weird activities, humans are no longer contributing their time, and rather
bots and machines are taking over?
I'm in flames here!
