Forum:Treatment for similar images/Archive 1

Hi all! In short, I've been deleting duplicated images on HPW: If it's 100% carbon copies or size-reduced that type of files, there's not much to argue about; however, I find the following two scenarios trickier, and would like the community's input on the matter.

I think the way to go is to follow up by adding your input to whichever sub-discussion you want to comment on, whether you think only one of them should be kept (kindly point out which one), or why both should be kept, or if there's other ways to resolve the issue, then sign your signature. =]

P.S.: I am not all-knowing. What I posted is just what I've personally come across, please feel absolutely free to add images in similar situations if they have not been posted here already, so they can be discussed. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 06:05, January 3, 2019 (UTC)

Gifs
For .gif files, unlike unmoving images, I think even when they are depicting the same sequence, depending on how they were created, they may not be registered as "obviously" duplicates.

 * a] is somewhat unfortunate to have included a peek of the reaction of the class.
 * The righthand side of b] looks like some seizure going on.
 * I thought c] was quite perfect (at least viewing through Safari it was), until realizing through Chrome, there's something odd going on on the bottom of the image.
 * Unsure about d], it also looks perfect, dunno if there's also hidden problems that Safari couldn't pick up.
 * e] is pretty nice, except for the fact it's 175px, not big enough to be used as the infobox image.
 * So basically, please help check if there's any problem with d]; or see if it's possible to help resolve the problems in either b] or c]. But either way, I really don't think we need 5 gifs for this spell. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 06:05, January 3, 2019 (UTC)

Dolores Umbridge spelling a kissing couple to break apart

 * I've tagged the 1st file to be deleted because I felt the 2nd file to be more color-and-time-frame-accurate; however, the 1st file is 500px, so I can see some people might vouch for it, though to be fair, generally in-article images don't go beyond 250px, which is the width of the 2nd file. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 06:05, January 3, 2019 (UTC)

 * Like the colorization of the 1st file, but prefer the aspect ratio of the 2nd. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 06:05, January 3, 2019 (UTC)

 * Like the aspect ratio of the 1st file, though tbh, I feel both files are cut rather abruptly. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 06:05, January 3, 2019 (UTC)
