[WikiEN-l] Unauthorized deletion of images

[Leif Knutsen]

Various people have tried through various ways to censor facts presented in 
the article titled "Vaccine controversy." The latest such attempt was to 
delete a number of graphs that show that mortality rates in Australia for a 
number of infectious diseases had decreased before the introduction of 
vaccines. The images were listed for deletion for alleged copyright 
violations. I obtained permission from all relevant copyright holders, noted 
this fact in the listing for deletions, but now I find that the images were 
deleted anyway.

The names of the images were:
Image:Austr mort
diphtheria.gif<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Austr_mort_diphtheria.gif>
Image:Austr mort
scarletfever.gif<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Austr_mort_scarletfever.gif>
Image:Austr mort
measles.gif<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Austr_mort_measles.gif>
Image:Austr mort
typhoidfever.gif<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Austr_mort_typhoidfever.gif>
Image:Austr mort
polio.gif<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Austr_mort_polio.gif>
Image:Austr mort
whoopingcough.gif<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Austr_mort_whoopingcough.gif>

These images must be undeleted immediately, and appropriate action should be 
taken against the individuals who deleted them in violation of policy.
