:{{EP|d}}, but the page wasn't protected, so you could have done it yourself. If you meant to upload the new image in place of the existing image, you should request it on [[:File talk:Www.wikipedia.org screenshot.png]]. Note that some people might want to keep the old image for historical reference, though. — '''''[[User:Mr. Stradivarius|<span style="color: #194D00; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">Mr. Stradivarius</span>]]''''' <sup>[[User talk:Mr. Stradivarius|♪ talk ♪]]</sup> 01:30, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
::Thank you. Strange, the page ''was'' protected (cascading??). There is no need to re upload. We keep the old file per historical reference. Regards --[[User:Steinsplitter|Steinsplitter]] ([[User talk:Steinsplitter|talk]]) 09:57, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
:::FYI for historical interests — the chain of action went as follows:
*Noticing that [[W/index.php]] got tons of hits, I created it as a redirect to this article.
*The redirect was one of many potential spambot targets listed at [[User:John Reaves/PT]], which has cascading protection enabled
*Unknown to me, when a cascade-protected page links to a redirect, cascade protection applies to the redirect's target
*As a result, the entire article was transcluded on John's userpage, and it therefore was fully protected
*Someone notified me of the situation, and the following conversation ensued: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=577045436 message 1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=577065252 message 2], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=577065434 message 3], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=577104795 message 4]
*I removed the redirect from John's userpage and added full protection directly. This has the safe effect on the redirect but doesn't affect the full article
