Hi all, I happened to do a format of this article: http://www.wikihow.com/Create-Awesome-Animated-Gifs-from-Videos-Using-Videogif and I noticed there were quite a few images included in this article. However not a single one of them came out. I wonder why? Is it the same bug that prevented the images in my articles to come out?

Looks like the images were deleted some time ago because they were copyrighted and used without permission. Since the images don’t exist anymore, they won’t be displayed. http://www.wikihow.com/Image:Add-video-3.jpg

Thank you @Isorhythmic . Can I ask you a question though? I thought when Maluniu removed unlicensed images she actually physically removed every one of them and I would not see them there any more . Why did I still see them in [[…]] after her edit? This is confusing to me.

My guess is that it was a malfunction of the image licensing bot. Maluniu’s account is used by a script to find, notify users of, and remove unlicensed images. This edit ( http://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Create-Awesome-Animated-Gifs-from-Videos-Using-Videogif&diff=12828756&oldid=12758339 ) should have removed the images, but it didn’t, even though the notification was sent. (All the edit did was remove some spaces here and there). I don’t see too many edits like this so I wouldn’t be worried about it, just a fluke I think.

Thanks @Isorhythmic . Yeah, it looks like a malfunction . Hopefully it won’t happen too often. When you send a notification to an author about removing the unlicensed images and they still see them there, it may be quite confusing. LOL
