Regarding some files you uploaded

edit

Hi, I deleted those Obama images as they were not used anywhere (and also not related to the MediaWiki development in general!). Personal images (of yourself) is okay, but this wiki doesn't need local uploads of random things that don't follow documentation of MediaWiki software.

Tropicalkitty which files? I didn't get notifications about deletions recently. Note that this is a work account, and as a member of the Wikimedia Performance Team, everything I do on wiki is about MediaWiki development and Wikimedia operations, whether it's obvious or not. With links to the particular files, I would be able to clarify if those are tests that can be safely deleted or if they have some non-obvious long term purpose. Thanks!
