For the second time this month, one of my images was deleted on the english wikipedia.
I was not warned at all.

I'll be frank, I AM PISSED OFF.
It is written clearly on my talk page, and my user page that all my images are gfdl. All my insects pictures listed on my user subpage are labelled, but this one.
Just as I already said on the pump less than 2 weeks ago, I think it is really pure disrespect to delete an image without asking the author, and then only AFTER deletion, to go on this user subpage to remove the link to the deleted image. If there is time to go on my user subpage to remove a link, then there is time to drop by my user talk page and talk to me. Of there is time to read the mention on my user and user talk page and to read my warning about the status of my images and to update the image status.
I am sorry, but I really find this of the latest rudeness.
From now quite far away, as I have no more time to edit the english wikipedia, I have the horrible feeling the english wikipedia has become a very very cold place, where there is no respect for editors except those well known possibly. If feels like if one is not among the major editors, he does not count, and his feelings are not important at all. It looks like a machine. An automate. Not a great human construction.
We are all here because we believe in what we do, but what we do is only good because we do it together and because we trust each other.
Well, at least, some people trust other people. And if it is not possible to trust someone who spent already 3 years on wikipedia, I wonder how newbies are treated.
In case you feel like telling me "yeah, but this is just one case you know, not everybody does that", I will then ask why Quadell is trusted to delete images. I do not trust him to do so. Not because he does not do this according to rules, but because he does not do this while taking human feelings into account. And wiki only works thanks to human power.
