a mirror image picture does not accuratly display the person involved Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 11:14, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
- Is it illegal to flip images? --DIREKTOR (TALK) 13:26, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Comment: no, but we try not to do so, especially for portraits of people. Human beings are not symmetrical, so a laterally inverted image may not show the person as he or she actually appears. But where is the evidence that this image has been laterally inverted from an original? — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 17:56, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
- As a medical student, I'll just say that (regardless of what Wikimedia has to say) the above goes against some of the basic facts on human anatomy. The human form is, in fact, an example of reflectional symmetry along the en:median plane (planum medianum, one of the sagittal planes or plana sagittalia, also known in anatomy as the "plane of symmetry").
- That aside, I would really like to see which policy proscribes deletion of the image based on the direction in which it is (currently) flipped. Isn't this an issue for the image talkpage, or even the article talkpage of a particular project, not a commons deletion request? --DIREKTOR (TALK) 11:49, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
- No one is exactly symmetrical. Some are so much a a-symmetrical that a mirror-image would not be identifiable. Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 12:27, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
