That's not a problem in this case, as the photo /was/ in facebook. The
problem was identifying the prior one.
No, a *similar* (smaller) photo was on facebook. But the reference in
commons wasn't to the photo, it was merely her own facebook page. That
triggered something in the script/search that Yann used.
Which could be a javascript link to a bigger version.
I'm sure he didn't find the similar photo, as
it was no longer
visible. He'd have had to search back 63 wall photos (I just
checked). It took me over 10 minutes to find, and I knew it was
there somewhere.
I'm just evaluating that comparison utility you proposed. Please
elaborate with meticulously detail how that would work, not just "some
kind of".
Yet we know he didn't spend 10 minutes, because he
posted several
deletion pages per minute:
AGF he could have been led there from a google images search, or
compiled before creating.
You're probably right, but Yann actions being wrong don't relate on how
that "tool of some kind" should work.
