Hi, Cebr1979,
I saw your comment about an editor replacing okay images with ones of lesser quality. Please read WP:BRD, it might provide some helpful advice for you. Liz 00:23, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Liz. Thank you however, as seen here, I did attempt that and it did nothing to bring the old photo back. Unfortunately, WP:BRD appears to be useless when dealing with photos.Cebr1979 (talk) 00:27, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- Well, if an editor makes a lousy edit, you are free to revert it (but not edit-war) and if the editor wants it back in, the issue needs to be discussed on the article talk page. Liz 00:54, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Liz. I'm fully aware of that. Unfortunately, when dealing with photos, reverting doesn't do anything. It doesn't bring the old photo back.Cebr1979 (talk) 00:56, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- An image is just a file name. Unless the file is deleted, the image still exists. Go into edit on a previous version of the page with the better photo and save that version. Liz 01:00, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- No, Liz. You are incorrect. I am telling you: Nothing brings the old photo back. It has to be re-uploaded. Even going to a permalink, is useless. Case in point: Victoria Newman: permalink of old photo & permalink with new photo. Both the same photo. Here is a permalink of the old photo and here is a permalink of the new photo. Both are the same because there is not a way to get an old photo back - it must be re-uploaed. WP:BRD is useless when dealing with photos. Everything and anything other than re-uploading the old photo as a replacement for the new photo is useless on wikipedia.Cebr1979 (talk) 01:09, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
