Keep Different version unduly overwritten. — Racconish 💬 08:06, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Racconish: My version was 5 minutes longer. It looked to me like that was the original version where the 18 minute version may have been incomplete due to elements of that print missing as often happens with these old movies, but upon rethinking it maybe the 24-minute version was a 1929 rerelease, because it mentions an anniversary with 1879 in the intro. If so, it may need to be noted as PD-no-notice in the other video. I'll have to do a careful look through these releases to determine what more exact differences there are.

- Regardless, I would still say that File:A day with Thomas A. Edison.webm and File:A day with Thomas A. Edison -.webm are redundant to each other, so 1 should be deleted. PseudoSkull (talk) 09:10, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
Comment This version is not only different but in use in many projects. — Racconish 💬 09:16, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
Kept: Nomination withdrawn [1]. — Racconish 💬 09:31, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
- [edit conflict] Nomination redacted. I still strongly suspect the file reverted back to is an incomplete print while the 24 minute version is the complete version, but if you want to leave it in its own file then ok I guess. Seems a little weird to me for such an obscure movie from 1922 to be released with a 5 minute length difference, although the difference in the intro increases that likelihood. I overwrote it because I believed that was the complete release, but I don't have hard evidence of that, just an intuition, so I'll leave it be. I don't have time to do a side-by-side comparison because it's already late, and little information exists about the film that I can find without some thorough digging, but I don't think any of these details are enough to trash a file altogether. Maybe when I transcribe it on Wikisource, the details will become more clear to me. PseudoSkull (talk) 09:34, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
