Duplicate Images section
Edit
I would recommend a permanent section in the Images for deletion page: a section for only duplicate images. There are a fair amount of duplicate images on here, and I think it would be simple to have a special section. Since these duplicate images really require a different type of discussion than regular images, I think this could be a good idea. We could also do a duplicate image template if you people think that's a good idea. Input? -Platypus Man | Talk 04:56, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- You could always either upload one over the other, by renaming one image the same as the second and you could alternatively just revert between previous versions of the image to whichever is the best and request the now "copied" duplicate image for immediate deletion. --Alan del Beccio 06:23, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's great when one image is clearly better than the other. However, when two people may prefer two different versions, they require a discussion. -Platypus Man | Talk 19:23, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)
Duplicate Image Section (archive, Ten Forward)Edit
OK. All of us who watch the Images for deletion know how many duplicate images we seem to get. I came up with an idea for a special section of the page specially for duplicate images. I put my proposal on its talk page, but it didn't get much response, even after my pimping of it on the deletion page. I'm putting this here so that more people will see my idea. Please, don't reply here, go to the images for deletion talk page, where the proposal already is. Thanks. -Platypus Man | Talk 23:17, 25 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- It would just be easier to upload one over the other and post the former for immediate deletion (if they are indeed duplicate images). That is, essentially, what I, we (the admins), do when we merge images and pages anyway. The difference here is that you do not have the ability to delete, so posting it for immediate deletion fulfulls that aspect. For that matter, that this is more or less (indirectly) approved in the guidelines for immediate deletions. --Alan del Beccio 18:22, 13 Nov 2005 (UTC)
