Add information on protected image

Hi, I have created an illustration Diagram of the Grand Hotel Brighton and the effects of the bomb, showing the position of key individuals at the time of the explosion. and now I would like to cross-add "Other versions" links between that and The Grand Hotel in Brighton 12 October 1984, following an IRA bomb attack. My problem is that the jpg image is protected so I can't add the information my self. The information I want added is: |other versions =<gallery>File:The Brighton bomb explosion.svg|Diagram of the Grand Hotel Brighton and the effects of the bomb, showing the position of key individuals at the time of the explosion.</gallery>.

Hope someone here can help, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:54, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TThey are not versions of the same image. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:44, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Pigsonthewing That is depending on the definition of "Other versions". To me that means other images depicting the relativ same stuff and that is exactly what this illustration does Diagram of the Grand Hotel Brighton and the effects of the bomb, showing the position of key individuals at the time of the explosion. to the protected jpg. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:49, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm inclined to agree with Andy here. The illustration is at a different angle from the photo. Other versions usually means "other versions of the same photograph or the same artwork." Abzeronow (talk) 17:10, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Pigsonthewing @Abzeronow I don't know where you found this definition "other versions of the same photograph or the same artwork" because I can't find any definition which is commonly accepted here at commons, please link to it if it exist.
The only type of definition (but not really) is at Category:Other_versions_templates, "This category is for all "other versions" templates, that is, templates used to show alternate versions of a file (usually they go in the other_versions field in {{Information}})."
What the different angel has to do with it is nothing I understand.
The main subject with both these images is to show the The Brighton bomb and it affects.
  • So if we have different views on this, what do we do, who else can look at this, who has more knowledge about "Other versions"?
--please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:37, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Andy and Abzeronow here. "Other versions" means "other versions of the same work", not "other images of the same thing." The mechanism for the latter, if needed, is a category. - Jmabel ! talk 16:24, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Abzeronow @Jmabel @Pigsonthewing So I will just drop this now, we just have different understandings, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:10, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
