Files in Category:USS Pickaway (APA-222) log books

[edit]

Individual pages of multi-page text document. Already uploaded as PDF (File:Pickaway (APA-222) - September 1956 - DPLA - 2ac9529e3e2c19be07e3b71317645f0b (page 1).pdf), which is the preferable format. The individual page files are therefore redundant.

{{vk}. Separate pages allow for a faster non-linear search of the contents and aid categorization. -- Ooligan (talk) 05:40, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No and no, both statements are factually wrong. The PDF file has the text embedded - go to the PDF and you are able to search within all 122 pages directly by using CRTL+F. Embedded text is not possible with JPGs (and even if, it is not present/and even if, you would have to open 122 individual files to search)
122 seperate files instead of one aids categorisation? There is no realistic reason why any categories should differ on any of the 122 pages. So you need 122 times the effort when maintaining the categorisation for absolutely no demonstrated benefit.
A document is called "document" for a reason, and it's pages belong together, into a document file format, not an image file format. Even casually trying to read this document using the JPGs is a major pain, as categories start with page 10,100,101...109,11,110.. instead of 1,2,3..., and there is no convenient way to go from page to page.

 Delete redundant. Something isn't working with these uploads. Apparently there are issues affecting millions of files: phab:T343131#9887951. Enhancing999 (talk) 15:12, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
