I have had many issues around this in the past. If the images are the
same in
quality/resolution then avoid duplicating what is currently on
Commons. However if your versions are, in your view, better quality then
there is no problem uploading them as they are not true duplicates.
Digitally identical duplicates should be rejected automatically at upload
as the files have matching SHA-1 checks.
Thats from normal upload. Gwtoolset may be different. Anyways they can be
dealt with after the fact too if they are exactly identical as its easy to
detect later.
For most of my batch uploads I do a check of whatever
unique ID is
suitable to see if there are matches. This can be highly useful when
re-running uploads as a check of matching filenames or image page text is a
lot less processing/data volumes than downloading the image file to create
SHA-1 values.
PS this feels like "advanced class" techniques. Apologies if I'm a crappy
teacher. :-)
