Can anyone tell what this show is about?

If a better (higher resolution/better quality) version of the existing image is uploaded, what's the reason to keep the original (i.e. the same but worse quality) image on board? Same goes for the people portraits (some contributors are too lazy to make a couple extra clicks to get a full-res image from IMDB/agency website and uploading a small thumbnail from Google image search results).

I agree of course, if its the same scene/portrait only in better resolution, there is no need to keep the less quality one.

Of course they're not. The policy is quite clear about that, the image could be portrait (poster), landscape (banner) or of any other proportions (square etc.).

I am a bit confused now and do not want to read all posts again, is the image still in the gallery or is it deleted now?

It's not in the gallery. I believe it was deleted according to the edit log, although earlier when i checked, I didn't see a deletion entry.

Several images of there are basically the same except for resolution and text images. Duplicates and near-duplicates should presumably be deleted as well.

There doesn't seem to be a need for at least two of them. Thus one of my questions. The whole thing involves several data issues, and the image have been deleted accidentally. The log shows that it was deleted, but the logs apparently aren't always accurate. Since there are issues with the data, I posted in the Data forum rather than a PM.

None of which seem to be involved, and this is the first I've heard them mentioned on this topic.

To recap, we're talking about an image that was similar to, quality-wise, the original image that was and still is there. And is arguably better, since it was poster and didn't have extraneous/cut-off text. And my question is, why was it deleted (and if it was intentionally deleted) given that?

if you're asking why the original image is still there, as far as I'm concerned for the reason that wmulder said earlier:

"I wish people did not delete pictures out of the gallery that others have submitted. If you delete your own that is different!!!"

I didn't and don't see a reason to delete other people's work, unless we're running out of storage space which my understanding is that it isn't the case. Apparently others agree with me, since no one else has deleted the original image..

For instance:

It was presumably deleted because it is "not a poster". But... do gallery images have to be poster? Show images have to be poster. But that just means selecting a different show image if one is available. Which happened in this case.

That log is for the image that was submitted by Whitey01 as a show image poster and not only tagged as a poster, but the user also used the word "poster" as description. The image was not a poster. Thus at first, I simply renamed it "not a poster" and removed the poster tag, but then later deleted it after Thomas' comment:

So far if people are disobeying our policy by adding non-fitting banners as poster (main image), i find it completely justified to delete theirs.

ahh ok, that brings some light into this :)

Non poster images can stay in the gallery though, just not as the main image :)

Actually that was an answer to Shelley's post.

As for the reason – we do not welcome duplicates, right? I think no one would argue that, despite that we do not have this written in policy as a hard rule (except for the shows). So it's either have duplicates (what possible reason could be for that?), or to have only the first available quality (which is crappy in most cases). What "other people's work" are we talking about? 30 seconds on Google and copy/paste a link to the image? Hell of a work I'd say )))

It's obvious, that only an image provided by the network or other official source could have a different resolutions/qualities available, none of the custom made images would have those variations, so they in no risk whatsoever.

@momijigari

You delete a lot of pictures others submit, and I am getting sick and tired of it.

QUIT DELETING MY PICTURES!!!!!

latest example, Rocky Mountain Railroad, where I spend some time to make up a poster, not the best one I admit, but you deleted it without having the right to do so.

This is the image that was originally used as the (supposed) portrait show image. I don't know if it was added again afterward (it doesn't have the "poster" tag that I can find.

The image I submitted, which was eventually deleted, did not have "poster" as the tag. Or any tag. The image at the link above, as I originally noted, has wording on it that becomes gibberish once it's made a poster show image. It still does.

Just because it takes you or me 30 seconds doesn't mean it takes everyone 30 seconds. :) Or that their access speed is fast as ours.

Me, I figure that if someone took the time to create and submit a duplicate image, then it should stay unless there is an issue with storage. We're not mind readers: we don't know what reasons that they thought it should be there. If it's a "crappy image", that's another issue and "crappy images" should all be handled the same way whether they're duplicates or not.

Regardless, the image I submitted wasn't a duplicate so discussion about deleting duplicates seems like another topic.Thus my confusion. I didn't think Shelley asked about duplicates.

@momijigari and everyone else:

deleting pictures is NOT ok, if you find a better fitting poster you can use it as the main image but please let the old one stay in the gallery.

Deleting is only ok if you add the same picture with better resolution, then it would be redundant to have the exact image with less quality in the gallery.

thx

+1, at least in this situations we're talking about. If an image is factually incorrect (the wrong person, from the wrong show or episode), it's presumably okay to delete and replace.

I'm still curious if momijigari meant to delete the image I submitted. Or, as seems more likely the case, he clicked on the wrong image. Or the system deleted an image other than the one he intended to delete. That's a big part of why I asked: it seemed like the image was deleted by error, and I was trying to determine where the error occurred. If the system is deleting images other than the ones that we click on to delete, that seems like a big problem.
