You are going to have to explain to me why you want files that are still in use to be deleted. I mean, you did just upload newer versions of the same file using the "upload new version" feature. Not uploaded a wholly new image that is a copy of an old file and thus the old file, which would no longer be in use, would need to be deleted. Tinni  (Talk)  01:47, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Quoting from the new image policy: "Any pic anime or manga as well as gifs that have been updated with better versions. You must have the old versions deleted as soon as possible. (requests should be made via the Forum:Administrative Requests)." WD   Talk to me  13:11, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

I know what the policy says but I was under the impression that you couldn't delete old version of the file. Apparently you can. My mistake. Disregard what I said, I was just a bit confused as the mechanics of the how things were supposed to work. Tinni  (Talk)  13:35, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Is there use of these pics elsewhere under a different name cause these are all linked to articles as being in use. You are insinuating they are old well where are the new versions. I think there is some confusion as to the guidelines.Salubri (Talk)  13:57, July 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'll say, that part of the policy is very confusing. I interpreted as meaning that if I were to upload, for example, Soifon_bankai.png which is the exact same but higher quality to Soifon_bankai.jpg, the I would put Soifon_bankai.png in all articles where Soifon_bankai.jpg used to be and then put Soifon_bankai.jpg up for deletion. I did not think there was any need to point out a newer version of Soifon_bankai.jpg had been placed in Soifon_bankai.jpg because as far as I know, the old version just ends up in the "history" of the file and doesn't actually clutter the image library. But it seems that you are now specifically going and "clearing", so to speak, the history of image file. Which is fine. I just didn't know you could do that or, for that matter, realised that's something that was desirable to do. Tinni   (Talk)  14:04, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
