Cleanup in copyrighted images

Hi! I was very active on moving files to Commons some years ago and doing that I came across some wikis that did not care much about cleaning up on copyvios. I tried and I had some success but also some cases where I decided to let it go. Then I took a break for some years but now I'm back again.

Today I found a link to this Requests for comment/Do something about azwiki. That makes me think if it is possible to get some support from meta if I once again find some wikis that do not want to delete copyvios and unlicensed images etc.?

I will not tell which wikis I had problems with in the past because things may have changed. Atm. I only wanted to know if I can get support if needed and if yes how. Don't worry I will not come crying the first time someone says no or ignore me. I do realize it may take a few months to get the cleanup started. --MGA73 (talk) 19:08, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Unfortunately not. If the wiki doesn't have local admins you can ask at SRM but there have been some controversies. What may help is that some inactive admins were removed, so you may have better chances of success in that regard. --Rschen7754 19:27, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you! The wikis had local admins but they did not like to delete "good photos" just because they did not have a valid license or good source etc. In some of the better wikis they made me admin so I could clean up but in other places they just ignored me.

Perhaps it is better if I just go ahead and try. And if I again find me in a situation where I can get nowhere then I can return and ask for advice. --MGA73 (talk) 13:54, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

And if you happen to know anyone who can fix templates like mentioned here Talk:File_metadata_cleanup_drive/How_to_fix_metadata#lb.wiki I would be happy to know. lb.wiki is one of the good ones. We have come a long way there :-) --MGA73 (talk) 14:00, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
