[edit] File:Magnesiumcitrat.jpg

black/white and hence out of project scope, could be anything, not used anyway. --Yikrazuul (talk) 12:45, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment This is a typical Yikrazuul deletion request. By "black/white and hence out of project scope, could be anything, not used anyway" you could delete 25 % or even 50 % of all Bundesarchive images. Usually black/white, without description they could be anything, unused. But what reason to delete is this anyway? It's like saying: The picture shows a boat, delete it. So... the picture shows a boat?!
I really would like to know what the intention of this deletion request is. Is it to improve commons? But how is this gonna happen? It is quite worthless to argue why this picture should not be deleted, if the reason why it should be deleted is not clear. Btw the picture is used in the dutch wikipedia, but that just as a side note. --Cwbm (commons) (talk) 13:58, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
Pictogram voting info.svg Info: And this is a typical Cwbm response showing that he is not skilled and experienced in chemistry. In contrast to b/w photos of the Bundesarchive images, this pictures should show the composition of characteristcs of a dry chemical. So some key properties should be identifiable, but they aren't:
Which color does the chemical component have? We donna know, could be yellow, green, rosa, white, light-blue....
Which characteristics does the powder (?) have? We donna konw, could be some kind of needles, crystals, just a powder,....
Is the resolution high enough to identify anything usefull? Definitely no!
Should we keep something like that: Definitely NO! It could be anything, maybe cocaine! --Yikrazuul (talk) 11:48, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment A white powder stays a white powder even in a black and white image. --Cwbm (commons) (talk) 11:16, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment What about moving to a less specific name, e.g. “Open can containing a white powder.jpg”? --Leyo 10:54, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Why do you know that this is "white"? This info comes not from the picture? But anyway we could rename it "Strange can with something in in black and white". --Yikrazuul (talk) 00:02, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Symbol neutral vote.svg Neutral it's a completely worthless picture, but if it's in use, it's in use, I guess.--Prosfilaes (talk) 15:32, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] File:ADH.JPG

not used anymore, wrong file format, poor quality, superceded by e. g. this. --Yikrazuul (talk) 12:03, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Symbol delete vote.svg Delete Unusable. --Leyo 12:13, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
Symbol keep vote.svg Keep Just mark it as superceded, if it is, no resaon to delete --Tony Wills (talk) 23:00, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment And there is especially no reason to keep sth like that. --Yikrazuul (talk) 12:51, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] File:Almagate.svg

IMHO this is not an appropriate depiction of the almagate structure, even though PubChem shows it in a similar way. See also this discussion. Leyo 07:58, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Delete, cos it's misleading. --Yikrazuul (talk) 12:06, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

I've no opinion one way or the other - as I have said this was just constructed from the SMILES. If the structure is not correct then delete - I would add that if that is the case then we should make a comment on the en:Talk:Almagate page, otherwise someone else may see the PubChem image and repeat the operation. I note that the SMILES string is now absent from the en:Almagate page. Ron 23:48, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

It's a good idea with the talk page. --Leyo 09:21, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] File:Portulaca gen.jpg

I guess this is a copyright violation Cwbm (commons) (talk) 12:38, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Pictogram voting info.svg Info: There is a posting of the uploader on the talk page. --Leyo 14:09, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] File:Immersionsvorteil.jpg

svg is available, jpg not required any more. Should I add that I am the creator of the jpg-version? Dietzel65 (talk) 20:29, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

IMHO the author requested deletion would be OK in this case. --Leyo 21:46, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
