I've checked and it's only 553 KB on facebook, and 8.35 MB here.  By
no stretch of the imagination is it possible to have been copied
from facebook.

My guess, as I'd stated in the discussion:

   Did you actually check the dates and times of posting in two places?
   Or did you simply search for the word facebook, and nominate a large
   number of photos for deletion?

Out of curiousity, I just checked the post before Aguilar:
   
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Multiply-inbox.PNG

Yann posted: "From Facebook. No permission."  No rationale.  Nada.

Refers to:
   https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Multiply-inbox.PNG

That says: "Multiply, Social Networking, Alternatives to Facebook" and is
used to illustrate:
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiply_%28website%29

Obviously, he didn't even look at the photo.  It's not "from Facebook."

He's a fraud.  All of his deletion requests should be denied.  I'm
formally asking that he resign or be removed as administrator.
