I'm sorry as well, and it was a good thought for people looking for the content. On the other hand you have to admit having somebody from a "duplicate" wiki removing images with the note that they are now on the other wiki looks a bit off.

The images that I checked while investigating your request were still in the camerapedia flickr group incidentally.

I don't have any issue with you marking spam for deletion, but generally a stub article invites somebody to add to it more than a non-existant page does, which is why I disagreed with marking those.

I have no idea what happened previously as I was not involved, but the situation in terms of people maintaining and building the wiki was quite different.

I mentioned the DMCA note because it is a way for people to handle image removals when there is no admin. There are standard DMCA forms to use. They can either submit them through the Special:Contact/general page (which works equally for anonymous users) or to support@wikia-inc.com.

In terms of the general maintenance on the wiki, I would still recommend you get in touch with the active user I mentioned previously; he seems interested enough to be building the wiki; he may also be willing to take on some maintenance roles. I agree it is not fun to watch anything fill up with spam and nonsense.
