SHORT DESCRIPTION

  •  Info Resolution too low for FP (Original nomination)
  •  Delist Also, there is a better version of this image I would like to overwrite it with. Still not FP worthy regardless --Alsakan (talk) 09:20, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Alsakan, COM:OVERWRITE does not permit you to overwrite this file on Commons, unless it comes from the same source (i.e. just a higher resolution version of the same scan/photograph of that painting). If it is a new photograph/scan or from a different source, you must upload as a different filename. Same if it is your own adjustment (e.g. white balance) of the image. -- Colin (talk) 10:16, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Colin: Just to be safe, I have uploaded the version I was going to use to overwrite under a different file name. Do you believe that what I did was correct according to COM:OVERWRITE or should I just overwrote the original? I mean, the new file is not my own adjustment of the image and the improvements are relatively minor to the point where I believe they are the from the same scan of the painting. --Alsakan (talk) 22:58, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think anyone would think the differences between the images were minor. One has higher contrast and darker shadows. It isn't easy for someone unfamiliar with the paintings to judge which is the more accurate reproduction. There is detail in the lighter one that is very hard to see in the darker shadows of yours. I agree it is very likely they come from the same scan because both JPGs are the same size and are in exact position alignment, but also both have separate sources so we don't know what the source ultimately is. Commons should offer both as separate filenames, and then Wikipedians and other re-users can choose which one they prefer. If you overwrite, which is against policy, then it is like you (Commons) dictating what all Wikipedias should see. I appreciate that overwriting is convenient because then all Wikipedias get updated with the new image, but that is also the drawback -- none of them get notified that their image has changed. Having separate files avoids Commons being the conflict and pushes that burden onto those who make a choice between them. -- Colin (talk) 07:28, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
