CropTool
[edit ]In the future, I would appreciate it if you used CropTool to crop images. This tool allows users to crop images already on Commons without having to download the images. It also makes sure that, if necessary, the file has already passed license review. It also properly links the images to one another, in case an issue with them comes up later.

File copyright status
[edit ]Information icon Welcome to Wikimedia Commons. While everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the project, one or more of your file uploads had missing or false information regarding its source and copyright status. Please note that Wikimedia Commons takes copyright rules and infringement very seriously. Files may only be uploaded and included if their copyright status meets the conditions stated in our licensing policy, and if their source is clearly documented. Files that fail to meet those conditions may be deleted, and users who fail to meet them may be blocked. Please follow our first steps, if you haven't already. If you have questions, feel free to ask at the Village Pump copyright question page or on my talk page. Thank you. --Yann (talk) 10:48, 28 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
The AI upscale
[edit ]The heavily filtered version of File:Nick Fuentes virtual debate, August 2022.png you uploaded is so visually different it can no longer be considered the same image. To be blunt it looks like AI slop. Regardless, in the future, when making dramatic changes please create new images instead of overwriting existing images, and please tag derivative images accordingly.

- @Grayfell Hi, it is true that I use an AI tool to clear the blurriness, but how is that bad? I literally didn't change anything except the blur Lililolol (talk) 18:32, 31 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- There are multiple problems.
- The image looks very different. It is no longer the same image. I know you can tell the difference, otherwise you wouldn't have bothered. You think it looks better, and I think it looks worse. What matters is that it is no longer the same image.
- Using this on Wikipedia adds more problems. On Wikipedia we almost never use AI images for real people. By replacing the original image with an AI version you made it harder to use that image for Wikipedia. If you want to propose this new image for an article, upload your AI version as a new file with attribution to the original image. That way you can start a fair discussion on that article's talk page.
- More generally, using AI to "clear the blurriness" is basically just asking the AI to guess what the image would look like if it were not blurry. It is not logically possible for AI to know this. It has to guess. Maybe the image looks better to you, but that doesn't mean it is accurate. It is just a high-tech form of airbrushing
- AI is not magic and it is not actually intelligent. It doesn't know what anything looks like it, it produces an average based on a data-set of other images.
- To put it another way, AI upscaled portraits don't look more like the person in the original image. AI makes the image look 'prettier' by making it less accurate.
- It doesn't matter whether or not you agree with me. If you want to upload these kinds of photos, upload them as separate images with a direct link to the original image for attribution. I would recommend against uploading AI upscaled images, though. They are mostly useless for Wikimedia and Wikipedia.
- Regardless, make sure you have the rights make derivative versions of to the original image, also.
