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&… Image:Austr mort scarletfever.gif<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Uploa… Image:Austr mort measles.gif<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&… Image:Austr mort typhoidfever.gif<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Uploa… Image:Austr mort polio.gif<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&w… Image:Austr mort whoopingcough.gif<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Uplo… These images must be undeleted immediately, and appropriate action should be taken against the individuals who deleted them in violation of policy. -- Leif Knutsen
