The document discusses a disagreement over the motivation for uploading a digitally altered image. Wilfredor had stated they uploaded it to protest a dictatorial regime but did not remember details of the building in the photo. Others pointed out this contradicted Wilfredor saying they did not remember where the photo was taken. Wilfredor clarified they remembered the photo was meant to protest the regime but did not recall specifics of how it was generated or the building depicted. Metadata later revealed the photo editing software was Adobe Photoshop, not Hugin as Wilfredor had stated.

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 (talk) 21:52, 15 January 2024 (UTC) It is not contradictory, and was motivated by a recommendation from Charles Wilfredor (talk) 22:25, 15 January 2024 (UTC) @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 2024 (UTC) 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 (copy-paste this link https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b5/Digitally_altered_image_of_UNEF A.jpg to verify) -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:13, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
