*'''Question''' I am close to finishing a nice mapping using BeautifulSoup to general image description pages, but I have problem in the way LACMA appear to have "updated" their website. We have an prior upload of [[:File:Man's silk waistcoat with sleeves c 1715.jpg|an 18th C. waistcoat]] at a very high resolution of 4,000x6,000+ px. The original source is at [http://collectionsonline.lacma.org/mwebcgi/mweb.exe?request=record;id=159291;type=101] but I cannot see a way of getting from the current catalogue entry [http://collections.lacma.org/node/213804] to that old version. The new system shows 5 images, the first duplicates the old upload but is half the resolution (when the expanded button is selected) whilst the other 4 are good detail shots that appear clipped from the high resolution one we already have. Unfortunately id=159291 is the only relevant old reference and there is no mention of that number anywhere on the new catalogue entry, or the id's for its images. --[[User:Fæ|Fæ]] ([[User talk:Fæ|talk]]) 22:37, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

:I think, we should write email to LACMA with this problem. It is not good (for SEO) to change URL without redirection. [[User:Dominikmatus|Dominikmatus]] ([[User talk:Dominikmatus|talk]]) 09:42, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

::Yes, I was coming to the conclusion that should be my next step. It might not be solvable technically, so if LACMA cannot, or don't have the time, to help, then the solution might be to go ahead with the batch upload even if a few files will be scaled down (but still high quality) duplicates of some high resolution photos we already have. I'll do my best not to be left in that position and I'll start drafting up an email - no hurry as I don't expect a same day answer from the museum on a Friday. {{=)}} --[[User:Fæ|Fæ]] ([[User talk:Fæ|talk]]) 10:29, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
