Image duplicates (conversation continued from Teahouse)

Hi Talamioros

File:3rd Crossing.jpg

File:French Attack.jpg

French Attack.jpg

I'm starting a thread on your Talk Page because I was intrigued by your problem of not being able to upload images with minor changes. I see that you "solved" this by having the two images with larger differences, so that one file is now "3rd Crossing.jpg" and the other is "French Attack.jpg". My speculation is that the real problem is that you initially uploaded the files to the English Wikipedia rather than Wikipedia Commons, although you subsequently cross-uploaded the files there as well. The image repository here on English WP is normally reserved for "fair-use" images such as logos and low-resolution pictures that would otherwise be under copyright but are used, for example, to identify deceased people in an article about them. See WP:FUR for the details. However, you were prepared to release your work under CC BY-SA 4.0 and that's perfect for it being held solely on Wikipedia Commons, where it can be used in any Wikipedia project, including non-English-language pages. If you click through on either of your images I've inserted here in this thread, you'll see that the filepage begins as en.wikipedia.org, not commons.wikimedia.org as it is when viewing the version on Commons. Importantly, on the File history part where, for example, French Attack.jpg shows the upload timestamp of 17:17, 24 November 2021 there is no option to "Upload a new version of this file". On Commons at this URL for the same file there is such an option. The rationale for this, I believe, is that non-free files are supposed to have detailed justification as to why they are allowed on the English WP and the system is intended to hold only one version (bots take care of lowering the resolution of logos. for example and revision-delete higher resolution older versions).

All this is a preamble to saying that I'm pretty sure your problem would disappear if you simply asked for the local English copies of these files to be deleted. I've never done that for one of my own files but on Commons the procedure is to place the template {{SD|G7}} on the file's page, which showns the admins that you've requested this as the author of the file. (see Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion). Incidentally, once the files at en.wikipedia.org are deleted, the versions at commons.wikimedia.org will be used in the Battle of Gosselies article without anyone needing to edit it: the system looks for the en version first but falls back to the commons filename when there is none at en.

Feel free to ignore all this if you feel it is too much to bother with but for future uploads you are happy to license widely, the suggestion is to only upload to Commons.... Mike Turnbull (talk) 15:16, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Guillaume Anselme Philibert de Soland moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Guillaume Anselme Philibert de Soland, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. John B123 (talk) 18:22, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, just saw this. I think the draft will have to be deleted in that case; I was only translating what I'd found about him on the French wiki into English, but I have no sources of my own to add that can illuminate the content further. Hence if that's the bar for remaining published, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet it :) In hindsight, given the work I've been doing, I oughtta have recognised this wasn't going to pass, but...I didn't. Thanks for calling it out!Talamioros (talk) 01:32, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
