Any other possible explanations? Most likely, someone was drunk. [[User:Giggy]] On 7/15/07, Mark Wagner <carnildo(a)gmail.com> wrote:

As part of the testing for ImageRemovalBot, I had it running through the oldest entries in the deletion log -- not that I was expecting it to find anything to remove. On December 27, 2004, the image [[Image:Bardock.jpg]] was deleted. Sometime in mid-February of 2007, the image was added to [[List of Saiyans in Dragon Ball]]. Am I reading this correctly, and if so, did someone deliberately add a nonexistent image to an article? -- Mark [[User:Carnildo]] _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

No, someone uploaded a new image over a title that had previously been deleted. 19:08, 12 July 2007 Joeystuff (Talk | contribs) uploaded "Image:Burdock.jpg" ({{Non-free fair use in|List of Saiyans in Dragon Ball#Burdock}} [http://dasaiyanprince20.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/b…] ) This image, which currently does exist, was added to the article by the same user: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Saiyans_in_Dragon_Ball&am… Mark Wagner wrote:
