This is a listing of images which never uploaded properly and have zero size. This list was last updated 22 September 2004 from the live database.

[edit] What to do

Suggested guidelines for dealing with these (by User:Delirium):

When you can verify that the images were re-uploaded with another filename, delete them, with the deletion comment containing the new filename.
With zero-byte images added by regular contributors, but which you cannot verify having been re-uploaded, delete them and leave a message on the contributor's talk page with the filename and its former caption, so they can re-upload if they have a copy still.
With zero-byte images added by no-longer-active users, delete them.
With zero-byte images added by regular contributors and having some significant amount of material on the image description page beyond the one-line caption (e.g., copyright information), leave the page there and leave a note on the user's talk page.
When there exists a non-zero-byte old revision, revert to it.
Remember that the lack of a link to the image in the image description does not mean the image is unused - those links are routinely incomplete. You'll need to use the site search to find every place where it is used in en. Even that won't find non-en uses.

If you are not a sysop and want an image deleted, you should list it on Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. See that page for further instructions.

Images that have been deleted or successfully re-uploaded can be removed from this list.

[edit] How to update

The SQL query for updating this list is:

SELECT concat('<tr><td><small>', img_timestamp, '</small><td>[[User talk:', img_user_text,
   '|t]] [[User:', img_user_text, '|', img_user_text, ']]<td><small>[[:Image:', img_name,
   ']]</small><td>', img_description)
FROM image
WHERE img_size=0
ORDER BY img_timestamp

Run the query and copy and paste the result into the table.
