I've posted a comment at the FP removals discussion regarding the claimed

motivation/supposed-mea-culpa for uploading the faked image which seems to somewhat


contradict what was said here.
(In short; Wilfredor (talk · contribs) says above that they "don't even remember
the place where I took that photo", yet in the FP discussion, they "liked it as a
way of expressing the dictatorial regime's obsession with controlling people",
something that is neither mentioned nor alluded to anywhere in the title or
description which doesn't even mention that it's a military building). Ubcule

It is not contradictory, and was motivated by a recommendation from Charles

@Wilfredor: The contradiction in question was between
(a) your claim that you liked it as an expression on the nature of the
military/regime when elsewhere, versus
(b) you didn't remember anything about the building and made no mention of (a)
elsewhere. Ubcule (talk) 22:33, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
I remember that this image was to protest the regime and I don't remember how this
image was generated exactly at this moment. I know I used Hugin because it was the
software I used at that time, I remember that it was a panoramic photo because I
took several photos to be unified later. I don't remember the specific building in
this photo or the camera I used to take this photo, or how I got there to take that
photo, I only partially remember some details. Wilfredor (talk) 22:38, 15 January

Okay, I've said what I have to say on the first bit and don't plan to repeat that
further.
As for "I remember that it was a panoramic photo". Well, regardless of how that
image was created and whoever or whatever (Hugin, Photoshop, etc.) was responsible
for the end result, the evidence makes clear beyond any doubt that it goes way
beyond a simple panoramic stitch. Ubcule (talk) 23:01, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
The software used at that time was Adobe Photoshop, according to the metadata
