There really isn't a way to forcibly delete an image filename in our system. You can replace the article image with a different one, but I'll have to speak to the admins about the other problem.

Thanks - I've already replaced the file. I'll leave the rest to the admins - while the edit was from 2014, the troper has been active as recently as January 2017.

Well, he did apologize for the filename ahead of time. It goes back a while, but should we give him a PM to come here and talk to ATT?

And for the record, that file has been changed.

I'm not sure apologizing ahead of time actually makes it better, because it means he knew it would be a bad thing to do and did it anyway.

Random numbers would have been better than that. Apologies don't cut it in such a case.

The "apology" is blatant hypocrisy. Nothing forced him to use hate speech in a file name.
