== Hurricane images ==
 
+

 
+
Hi,
 
+

 
+
Good initiative to uniformly naming the rainfall images for tropical cyclones. Please redo the links to the related articles in other wikis as the redirect does not works to show theses images.
 
+

 
+
Thanks,
 
+

:Hey there,

:Thanks for the message — I think I set CommonsDelinker to replace them...though the redirects won't work. Lemme see. [[User:Hurricanefan24|HF]] ([[User talk:Hurricanefan24#top|talk]]) 14:33, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

::Hmm, I did a quick check through my last 500 or so edits and found two unused files. Could you specify which pages/images are having problems please? Thanks. [[User:Hurricanefan24|HF]] ([[User talk:Hurricanefan24#top|talk]]) 14:37, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

+
:::The ones I know of because I have them on my follow lists in Commons and wiki :
 
+
:::*[[:en:Hurricane Noel]] I had to change two images manually.
 
+
:::*[[:File:Long Island Express hurricane 1938 rainfall.gif]] I had to reinput in [[:fr:Ouragan de Nouvelle-Angleterre (1938)]].
 
+
::::It seems CommonsDelinker is not keeping up with you. [[User:Pierre cb|Pierre cb]] ([[User talk:Pierre cb|talk]]) 03:38, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 
+
:::::...that's odd. I'll certainly be checking these interwikis just in case. I'll take it up with the operator as well. Thanks for linking them. [[User:Hurricanefan24|HF]] ([[User talk:Hurricanefan24#top|talk]]) 11:22, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

:::::I've taken a look on frwiki to see CDelinker's contributions, and it looks like it took about an hour (~4:30) after the requests were cleared (at 3:22 UTC) to fix links like [https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ouragan_Sandy&diff=prev&oldid=91295882 here]. It looks like the bot is a bit slow, but would fix images eventually. Your edit was just around that time (4:31), so the bot would probably have gotten around to fix it. Thanks for bringing it up, btw. (But you're right in a way – CommonsDelinker ''is'' awfully slow sometimes...don't let Bryan read this... :P) [[User:Hurricanefan24|HF]] ([[User talk:Hurricanefan24#top|talk]]) 11:35, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

:Thanks for the note you left for me on the change on images I'm related. However, you asked to delete [[:File:Michael2000rain.gif]] because of it is supposed to be a older version of the non existant [[:File:Michael 2000 rainfall.gif]]. Did you forgot to upload ? I've uploaded Michael2000rain.gif to that name before any administrator deletion. [[User:Pierre cb|Pierre cb]] ([[User talk:Pierre cb|talk]]) 01:13, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

::Whoa, I keep making a lot of mistakes. :( Re Michael: I've removed the tag, moved it, and re-formatted it as well with the French description. Thanks for pointing this out...I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise. :) [[User:Hurricanefan24|HF]] ([[User talk:Hurricanefan24#top|talk]]) 01:32, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 
+

 
+
:::Sorry but I made a mistake. I uploaded a version of the file under a wrong name (File:20120416045353!Michael2000rain.gif) by mistake and asked to rename it to Michael 2000 rainfall.gif before I noticed you did. Mea culpa!!! Do you know what I should do ?
 
+
::::Don't worry – I've tagged it for deletion as a duplicate, if you don't mind. :) [[User:Hurricanefan24|HF]] ([[User talk:Hurricanefan24#top|talk]]) 01:46, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 
+
::::Thanks. Just for your information the deletion you ask for image could cause some problem with CommonsDelinker if the switch of image is not done before the removal ([http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ouragan_Gustav_%282002%29&diff=91330722&oldid=90457211 Example]). [[User:Pierre cb|Pierre cb]] ([[User talk:Pierre cb|talk]]) 04:40, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 
+
:::::I'm aware of that and somewhat annoyed by it as well. Hm, I'll probably ask the bot operator about it. [[User:Hurricanefan24|HF]] ([[User talk:Hurricanefan24#top|talk]]) 11:30, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

== Image speedy deletions ==
 
+

 
+
Hi HF. The problem here is that speedy deletions are generally reserved for completely unquestionable cases. In this situation, the two files are different enough that this is not the case. In any case, can you not see where some users might prefer the contour map over the solid color map? While various WP projects may prefer one style over another, you have to realise Commons does ''not'' exist just for supplying sister projects with media files. These files are used by others as well. While having exact duplicates of images is not desired, there is nothing wrong with showing data in different formats, which is what these two files do. I have no issue with you standardising file names and layouts for ease of use on the various projects, but don't wipe out alternate formats at the same time. I strongly request that you remove these speedy deletion templates. — [[User:Huntster|Huntster]] ([[User talk:Huntster|t]] [[Special:Emailuser/Huntster|@]] [[Special:Contributions/Huntster|c]]) 02:33, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
