File:Standard of the Prime Minister of Republika Srpska (1995 - 2007).svg

This file was initially tagged by Fry1989 as duplicate (dup) and the most recent rationale was: duplicate|Standard of the Prime Minister of Republika Srpska (1995-2007).svg. I believe that DR is the most proper way to solve this problem. micki 22:32, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

 Delete This file is a duplicate of File:Standard of the Prime Minister of Republika Srpska (1995-2007).svg. It has been uploaded twice before and both times deleted/merged with the above file as a duplicate, by two separate admins. This is a continuation of an attempt of personal control over the flag in question by Kacnepcku-Cp6uja because the linked file was edit protected after his various abuses of it, including nominating it for deletion as "a fake", but then attempting to remove that same DR tag from the file 3 times (1, 2, 3). The user was engaged multiple times on his talk page in an attempt to discuss the file, and each attempt was met with accusations rather than actually discussing the file.

Duplicate of File:Standard of the Prime Minister of Republika Srpska (1995-2007).svg. Fry1989 ^eh? 02:12, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

It's not an exact duplicate. What has changed since the last deletion request? --99of9 (talk) 03:25, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

It is an exact duplicate, they're the same fucking flag!!! My god this is stupid, do you have ANY idea why this file exists? ANY idea of the history of this dispute. The user called their own upload a "fake" and tried to nominate it for deletion because they would rather exert that level of control over the image than allow any changes to it, including a fringe which I added for practicality reasons of visibility. Except for a tiny sliver of yellow on the edge, they're the exact same thing. We don't need two of the same thing, and two admins agreed because this is the THIRD TIME this user uploaded the file, both of the other two times their upload was merged or deleted into this one for same reason that it's a duplicate. This file is not used, why do we need it? Now I've removed the fucking fringe from File:Standard of the Prime Minister of Republika Srpska (1995-2007).svg, will an admin delete this stupid cold war duplicate that doesn't belong here? Fry1989 ^eh? 03:33, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

And if you want to know why I'm outraged, it's because we have admins more interested in appeasement than sensibility. Two admins could see this for what it was, and because a third was blind we have two of the same thing when one will suffice. Fry1989 ^eh? 03:48, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Of course I have looked at the history. In fact it is on my watchlist because you two so egregiously edit warred over it, and I'd rather not see that happen again. So I see you have now reverted to User:Kacnepcku-Cp6uja's fringeless version at File:Standard of the Prime Minister of Republika Srpska (1995-2007).svg, so now they are duplicate. Does this mean you're at peace with not having a yellow border? If so, then I guess this one can be deleted. But don't put the border back, or you'll reignite round 57. --99of9 (talk) 03:57, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

That user isn't even here anymore, what makes you think they will come back and make an issue of it? I don't understand admins who excuse this kind of nonsense, creating cold wars and duplication issues. I can show you a tonne of them caused directly because certain admins doesn't have the fortitude to deal with issues and rather let them sit and fester. This troll (and no I will not retract that because only such a person would do this) called their own file a fake and tried to get it deleted rather than allow any modification no matter how valid, purposeful or minor, and you people give their opinions the same weight after that behaviour. Fry1989 ^eh? 04:08, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

So you didn't actually answer my question. Are you planning to put the yellow border back as soon as this version is deleted? That would be more than a little duplicitous IMO. Regarding admins who are tolerant of "nonsense", you would of course have been caught in the same net - you were half of the edit war, so it's probably better not to argue for tougher enforcement! The fact that you warred over yellow shows that you thought the files were not duplicates, but I'm glad if you're now willing to let the yellow go. --99of9 (talk) 04:52, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Don't be ridiculous, and don't put words in my mouth. I edit warred regarding the yellow for a very imporatnt reason, that being it's near impossible to see this is a flag without some sort of border. And yes, I may have edit warred with this user, but I have NEVER vandalized one of my own files in an attempt to exert ownership over it. Two admins saw this exactly for what it was, and it should have been deleted the third time but instead such behaviour is rewarded without any actual purpose or benefit to the project. I don't care if I have to say it a million times, we don't need two of the same thing (and yes, I consider them to be exactly the same thing), we gain nothing from it other than encouraging these users to continue such behaviour in the future. As for your question, I have no obligation to answer a supposition. What I will say is there are other ways of adding a border. Fry1989 ^eh? 20:23, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
