As far as I am aware, these were not identical duplicates, the Commons API ought to have taken care of that, along with my own search for the LCCN before upload. Note that there uploads were finished some time ago, and I am unaware of any other problems like this one. The restoration should be un-merged, I'm surprised that an administrator would make this error, as it should be common knowledge that restorations are considered derivatives from an original archive quality scan. There may have been a misunderstanding about what these chromolithographs are, due to the unusual hand-coloured process. If you think it is worth me commenting on the merge to ensure things are put back as they were, give me a nudge with a link to the discussion on my Commons talk page. Thanks for your work on restorations, they are much appreciated and add a great deal of educational value. | :Sorry you have been experiencing this issue.

TIFFs from the LoC
Fæ, why are you uploading TIFFs from the LoC that already existed as part of the documentation of a featured picture? Hedwig just accidentally deleted the FP documentation one while trying to clean up two of your recent uploads.
Specifically, File:A yeoman of the guard (Beefeater), London, England-LCCN2002696943.tif replaced File:Detroit Publishing Co. - A Yeoman of the Guard (N.B. actually a Yeoman Warder) - Original scan.tiff, which was part of the documentation for File:Detroit_Publishing_Co._-_A_Yeoman_of_the_Guard_(N.B._actually_a_Yeoman_Warder),_full_restoration.jpg, a featured picture here and on en-wiki, but the deletion removed all the FP documentation.
,_full_restoration.jpg){kind=link}
I presume this was accidental, of course, but this could become a massive problem if every featured picture I have with a Library of Congress original scan gets the documentation broken. Adam Cuerden 06:12, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

For all the work you've recently been doing with HABS uploads, tagging with NRHP reference numbers, and otherwise improving the quality of images related to sites on the NRHP, you deserve much more than a cookie! Dudemanfellabra (talk) 11:33, 16 July 2014 (UTC) |
