How should we upload, link and categorize derivative works? - To illustrate the article [[:en:Protestant_Reformers|"Protestant Reformers"]] I have used a cropped version of [[:File:Zentralbibliothek_Zürich_-_Effigies_praecipuorum_illustrium_atque_praestantium_aliquot_theologorum_-_000008283.tif|this picture]]. - Issues/questions encountered:

+

+
* Should I add another version to the existing picture (overwriting the previous one) or should I upload the cropped version as a separate file? - I opted for the second alternative; the problem with this is that we would theoretically have to copy all the metadata from the original file (there seems to be no way of transcluding the metadata), but having metadata about one and the same picture in various places really doesn't make any sense to me.

+

+
* Should I add the category "Media_contributed_by_Zentralbibliothek_Zürich" to the cropped version of the picture? Or is this category reserved for the original versions only? (in any case this will screw up the statistics: either uploaded pictures are counted twice or we don't count the instances where derivative versions of the uploaded pictures have been used.
