Image from "Wikidata and GLAM intermediate workshop"

Hi Maarten, my images from the Wikimania sesseion "Wikidata and GLAM intermediate workshop" are online now: Category:Wikimania 2016 - Wikidata and GLAM intermediate workshop. /cc Alex. Raymond 17:22, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you Raymond! I hope you had a nice relaxing holiday after Wikimania. Multichill (talk) 17:43, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi Multichill. You reintroduced a 2006 version of this file with the description "Commons:Overwriting existing files:". You gave no details, so could you please be more specific, considering the fact that the newer file was giving a much better representation of the painting? If it has something to do with "changing original license", I think you have been too strict about the blessings of the "PD-Old" license. It is still there - just specified. Cheers --Rsteen (talk) 10:09, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

The overwrite was in violation of Commons:Overwriting existing files (and part of a larger set) and had nothing to do with the license. Feel free to take the better version and upload it under a different name. Multichill (talk) 10:11, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
Sorry for being so ignorant, but what I see is "replacement with higher resolution versions of the same file" - meaning a better scan or photo of the same painting. Do you really think we should retain every stamp-sized (or similar) pic that someone found on the internet? --Rsteen (talk) 10:25, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
It's not the same file. If I take a photo of a painting and I have a low and a high resolution version, the high resolution photo can be uploaded over the low resolution one. If I have two different photos of the same painting, that is not allowed. Just upload it under a different name. And yes, we keep every old version, but the difference is that if you upload a new version, the old version can't be used on Wikipedia. If you upload it under a different name, our (re-)users can choose which image the want to use. In both cases the files take up exactly as much disk space.
The background is that Commons wants to over choice to the re-users, in particular with paintings we've had big issues with users who overwrote existing painting images with "better" images (as in, higher resolution), but the colors were completely different. Multichill (talk) 10:33, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
Well, after reading the discussion, I can see that there is basis for your action in the guidelines. However, you could have been more helpful to fellow users by telling them which part of the guidelines they were violating. I am sure everybody here have been acting in good faith, but you were not reverting a "contested" image, you were just making an inferior version stand out as the current version. You may have been providing choice, but at the same time you are forcing people to re-upload better versions, for something that seems to just be a matter of principle. Principles are important, but there is a fine line between being pedantic and being pragmatic. --Rsteen (talk) 11:57, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi Multichill, do you think this list is an improvement?. It is not a real list..It is not going to stay like this hopefully--Oursana (talk) 11:32, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Oursana, the listeria list you mean? I added that because Wikidata appeared to be much more complete than the gallery here. Feel free to do anything with it. Multichill (talk) 14:16, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
