Duplicate BSicons

[edit]

Duplicates of File:BSicon KDSTaq red.svg and File:BSicon KDSTaq yellow.svg respectively. They cannot be speedily deleted since they are in use on log and template-generated gallery pages in userspace on Commons, which do not need to have the file removed.

Files in Category:Duplicate

[edit]

Initially tagged as duplicates. They are not true duplicates - the png version is a crop of the original. Might be deletable as "redundant images"

 Keep - Why didn't we delete the png-files then?
It is for shure not a matter of which file is older, but which file is better.
And there are some reason to do it the other way around:
  • why should we delete the uncropped version at all? The uncropped angel of view is choosen to give sharp and full detailed view in thumbs - the cropped version due to png and higher pixel scale less so.
  • the increased angle of view is helpful for larger objects (examples below), without loosing on smaller objects (as explained above)
  • there is no point in storing a jpeg compressed file in a png format, as it is done in the png-files
  • Now we have NGC 1 - NGC 3644 in jpg with one scale, NGC 3645 - NGC 4095 as png in a different scale and NGC 4096 - NGC 7800 as well as IC 1 - IC 5300 again in the first appearence
  • the png-files have artefacts in the lower right corners
  • The angle of view can be expressed in a short form, ie 4' x 4'

Kept: Two reasons to keep these -- they are roughly 10% the size of the PNGs, and nine of the ten I randomly checked are in use on WP. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:09, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
