Hoi,
First of all I can protect pictures if I want to because I am an admin of
commons as well. Second it does not help if it is admins who do the
changing. Third, if you use the fact that a picture is free as an excuse,
then you do not address the issues raised. The fact that you are allowed to
use a picture and make changes does not mean that it is good or wise to do
so. When you want to change a picture, save the revised picture elsewhere
and do not trouble the world with in your face esthetic notions.
I agree. Overwriting existing images with "better" versions (unless it
is eg. a photo taken by the uploader) is BAD.
The point of a picture being free does not mean that
it is good form to
replace a picture. Yes it is legal, it is also bad manners.
I agree. I should have made this a bit clearer in my original reply.
Of course, it would a whole lot easier if image deletion wasn't quite so
instantly permanent...
