Better version of this file exists, File:NASA F-8A Crusader Supercritical Wing Aircraft - GPN-2000-002001.jpg . Is not a derivative, no link or attribution/record needed. The present file is not used anymore. Ariadacapo (talk) 12:56, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
- I would keep it. It is now a 1.2 MB version, but the other is 10 MB, too big for many users. Ariadacapo lives in France, where high-speed internet it often available, however, it is not common in most countries of the world. Cobatfor (talk) 16:49, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
- Well in that case we should at least create a derivative of the original so that at least one can find the low-weight alternative from the original. Otherwise one only ends-up with more mess, some Wikipedia contributors are bound to use only one of the two. I couldn’t find a Commons policy anywhere regarding such cases (the case of File:First_flight2.jpg comes to mind), is there one anywhere? Ariadacapo (talk) 17:19, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
- OK, I marked the image as a duplicate of the better version, following Cobatfor ’s advice. Can anyone point me as to what happens next? Ariadacapo (talk) 09:38, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
- Duplicate tag only applies to exact duplicates. Ariadacapo (talk) 19:08, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
- I’m sorry if I caused disturbance with this deletion request, I realize that I lack sufficient experience to decide whether it is appropriate. I won’t be offended if it is rejected =) Ariadacapo (talk) 07:34, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
