Discussion
Hi. You're misenterpreting the guidelines. Filesize is irrelevant. Resolution is the pixel count, and your upload has the same pixel count as mine, which was already under the maximum pixel count. Granted, the loss of color retention/intensity in your upload is minimal and most people won't notice it, but saving a few kilobytes is not a valid reason to replace a file. Cheers. —  Film Fan  09:14, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Acknowledgement of this issue before I revert back would be nice,, unless you'd rather do it yourself. I can see you're actively editing. Cheers. —  Film Fan  12:40, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I was unaware of this discussion Film Fan, so I would appreciate more civility and less user-activity stalking. Just because I am editing, in any kind of capacity, does not mean I necessarily am either aware of a discussion and/or have the ample time to discuss to the lengths I desire.  The fact that a lower-res image exists is what matters and what is preferred, per Wikipedia NFCC policy. You wanting to revert back clearly shows a dominance of owning the upload, and given your block-history, you have substantial problems with that.  Even stated at 3b, it states: "ow- rather than high-resolution/fidelity/bit rate is used".  A lower-resolution is available for use, therefore, that is what should be used per the NFCC policy and guideline.  Your own preference for your own preferred upload does not trump this.    livelikemusic    talk!  00:33, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The resolution of your image is exactly the same as mine. My uploads meets the WP:IMAGERES guideline and therefore does not require replacement. I have no interest in owning Wikipedia files or articles, and never have - that's a child's game. But I want you to understand the principle of it so this doesn't happen again. Resolution is pixel count, not filesize. Also, FYI, "bit rate" refers to video, and "fidelity" refers to audio. Please do not replace files unnecessarily. It creates extra work for admins. Thanks, . Are we on the same page? —  Film Fan  11:20, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Again, with the OWN'ing mentality you have. Your civility is also alarming to me; we are not on the "same page" and I do not appreciate being spoken to as if I am beneath you. And no need to continually link me in this discussion, either.  The lower res file should remain, per NFCC.   livelikemusic    talk!  00:56, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm simply trying to explain the rules to you and you still don't get it. You don't even know what image "resolution" is despite my attempts to explain. This discussion is absolutely ridiculous. Learn what you're talking about and don't give me crap about OWNing when the only person showing that unfortunate trait is you. You're not familiar with me or my edits so whatever, but sometimes it's best to hold back judgment when you don't have a clue, pal. —  Film Fan  10:55, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Film Fan, your remarks are starting to personalize the issue. Please focus on the content decision only, and don't make rude remarks about the other editor. WP:Image resolution is the relevant content guideline (note this is a guideline, not a policy page. The policy page is WP:NFCC). Both number of pixels and overall file size should be taken into account when selecting non-free images, because images with a higher number of KB take longer to load and are actually higher quality images. The idea is to use the lowest quality image that will get the job done. — Diannaa (talk) 13:54, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I disagree, Dianna. And whoever told you that smaller filesize = better quality was telling you porkies. There is no truth whatsoever in that. Nice to see your name pop up again, by the way, but your recent warning was absolutely ludicrous and I think it may be time to take me off your watchlist, no? Cheers. —  Film Fan  14:47, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Counting pixels is intended as a rough guide only, and is not something you should be edit warring over. — Diannaa (talk) 21:22, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't do edit wars mate. —  Film Fan  01:21, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Film Fan seems to be up to their own games, again. Again, replacing a low-file size resolution, per NFCC, for their own preferred upload, to have ownership of the upload. Surely, this is not acceptable behavior on Wikipedia, especially calling a smaller file-size "irrelevant", when it's one of the parameters of NFCC and if a lower-file size is available, it should be used.  livelikemusic    talk!  13:44, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Don't replace files for the sake of replacing them. Your upload did zilch. It 100% is not one of the parameters of NFCC, as we have established. Plus your upload has the brightness turned up, so isn't an accurate reduction of the original poster. Cheers. —  Film Fan  14:26, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * You are again edit-warring this issue, after we already discussed this issue with Diannaa almost six-months prior. I do believe that you have an owning issue with film posters, and it's troublesome.  All I did was lower the file size, I did not change the colour of the poster, at all.  This has all been discussed before, and it is you attempting edit-war this issue for your own preferred upload, and I am seriously considering taking this to a higher-level board about this issue, as I do believe you are not here to edit constructively for the Wikipedia, aside from your own preferred uploads.   livelikemusic    talk!  14:29, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I absolutely have no interested in "ownership". If someone has a valid reason to replace, then great. You do not. You uploaded the same file with altered colors. I have reverted you twice. Any action beyond this point will constitute an edit war. Don't let that happen. Do you want me to show you the difference in colors/contrast/brightness? Or are you going to move on? Cheers. —  Film Fan  14:47, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

. Why did you get involved? All you've done is shown that you don't know what resolution is, much like the other users here. Resolution is pixel count. Not filesize. Do you get that? And have you followed the conversation above? Do you understand that the version you just reverted to has the brightness turned up, and is therefore incorrect? —  Film Fan  01:17, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * You have neither consensus nor support for your edits. Edit-warring on Wikipedia is not appreciated. Regards. Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 01:26, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Is that all you can say? You can't admit that you're plain wrong? —  Film Fan  11:23, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Discussion on overwriting of file

 * This topic was split off from, above.

*Comment: I think the version uploaded by Sb1990 on February 3 is problematic, but for a completely different reason. It would've been much better for the file to have been uploaded as a separate file than as an update because it is completely different from the December 16 version. Generally, updates seems to be only for simple cosmetic changes made to what is essentially the same file, and not for uploading a completely different file altogether. This seems especially important when dealing with non-free files because a major change such as this could impact the justification for the file's non-free use in a particular article. It's also important because, unlike freely licensed and PD files, orphaned non-free revisions are eventually deleted per WP:F5, so there will be no way for anyone without admin tools to see them for the sake of comparison once the older versions are gone. FWIW, I'm not sure who is right regarding the size issue, but I think this should be reverted back to the December 16 version and the new version uploaded as a new file. The size discussion can then continue at that file's talk page as needed. -- Marchjuly (talk) 16:14, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I hear you, but uploading new versions is always preferred in the same namespace so you can track the history more easily. Not hard to update the description if need be. Cheers. —  Film Fan  17:52, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I understand your point, except I don't think what Sb1990 did in this case was to upload a new version of the December 16 file; they uploaded a completely different file altogether. The versions you and likelivemusic re-uploaded of Sb1990's file are "new versions" as you have described above and it keeping track of them makes sense and helpful. All of that, however, breaks down once the December 16 version is deleted. The history from December 16 and earlier will be for that particular version and the history from Sb1990 on will be for this latest version. It seems possible for different movie posters to be released at different stages of a project's development or even for different regions. If this teaser version file has been officialy replaced by this final version, then its perfectly fine to use it in the article, but it still would've been better to upload it as new file with a new slightly different name.
 * What SB1990 did was essentially to delete a file without discussion simply by overwriting the file. In my opinion, that's kind of like keeping the same article name, but replacing all of the content of an article with something related, but different. The file wasn't tweaked or cleaned up; it was blanked and replaced with something else. There's no way to tell from the history of Power Rangers (film) that this change has been made and there's no discussion of the differences in the two versions of the poster anywhere on the article's talk page to determine which version should be used. At least if Sb1990's version were a new file, it would show up in article's history like this when added to the article and there would be a clear record of the older file being deleted like there is for File:Power rangers xxlg.jpeg, File:Power Rangers 2017 poster.jpg and File:Power Rangers 2017 logo.jpg. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:17, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I've split the discussion of 's overwriting of the file off into a separate talk page section per WP:TPG in order to make it easier to discuss both the issues related to the file's size and the issue of overwriting the file independently of the other. I adjusted the indenation of the previous posts per WP:TPG. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:27, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The version that should be used is the final theatrical poster. Teaser posters get replaced by theatrical posters. —  Film Fan  01:20, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
