Hello there, im new to this community. Im an intern at Bibliothek und Archiv Aargau. Recently I uploaded some files to wikimedia with open refine. The files got deleted because of some issues with the license tag. Now I wish to reupload them but when I try to I get an error in a column stating no such entity. Can anybody help? thanks a lot! ---

Hi / Hallo, It’s not really an OpenRefine problem but a Commons situation. When a photo has been deleted, counter-intuitively, it should never be reuploaded. It should be undeleted, which can be asked on [Commons:Undeletion requests - Wikimedia Commons](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Undeletion_requests). Cheers, ---

Hallo! Thanks for answering. I made the undeletion request and an admin replied that they can be restored. Do I just wait now? Thanks a lot!
