[Wikimedia-GH] [African Wikimedians] Some IP deleting uploads and articles

</div>And those elephants, instead of spending time chasing the not so good articles
and high level crappy images on Wikipedia, they rather go on easy prey and articles
relating to celebs not well known, of course because persons like myself are toothless and
won't have anything to do.
Something I always envisioned happening as long as the whole of Africa has no Wikipedia
admin to turn around decisions like these.
You know, its hard to think Africanish, if you weren't born as one.
Those elephants are interested in the unnecessaries and instead take fun in deleting
articles with so much potential

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!
