Upload war[edit]

Could someone explain to me why there is an edit war over the version of the file? Both images look exactly the same to me. I've full protected it to stop the reverting though. Mark Arsten (talk) 05:24, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand what was wrong with the cover I uploaded. There was no need to compress a cover more and replace mine. Gcampbell92 (talk) 05:28, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Status: Could you explain what the issue here was? Mark Arsten (talk) 15:25, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is that Gcampbell92 can't seem to quit replacing the artwork of all of Ms. Spears' album covers. And has upload warred many times on this file. As for the current issue, the file I uploaded is 137 KB, while his is 150 KB. The smaller, the better. — Status (talk · contribs) 16:13, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so they're the same image except one is a slightly smaller size. Mark Arsten (talk) 16:58, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is 13kb really worth fighting about? Mark Arsten (talk) 17:06, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Status, I have only replaced images if the one I was uploading was better. I have never replaced an image with something that looks exactly the same that's pointless especially over 13 KB. You can look at every image I have uploaded and I stand by all of them, they are all of superior quality and have the correct colors for web. Gcampbell92 (talk) 18:18, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Gcampbell, given their edit history, seems to have major owning issues with files. It's something that is quite alarming, with them refusing to believe any cover other than their own to be the "right cover", and that all images are simply edited to fit the standards of Wikipedia. livelikemusic ^{my talk page!} 03:31, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have an owning issue, I have issues with covers that don't represent the actual cover and look bad. All the files I have uploaded are the "right covers" because every cover I have uploaded has come directly from the label and are in RGB for web. The only covers not directly from label were from iTunes and are Britney Jean and …Baby One More Time. With …Baby One More Time I used the iTunes LP digital booklet cover because someone kept replacing the digital cover I had directly from the label with a scan. I only replace covers that have "bad" colors, are scans or are badly resized. The problem with this cover for Britney Jean is that I replaced the deluxe cover with the standard cover (http://a3.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Features/v4/a7/b2/1f/a7b21f1f-5111-705a-b363-09440ba1f813/dj.qfsdxzpt.jpg) resized to 300x300, converted color profile from Adobe RGB (1998) to sRGB IEC61966-2.1, and saved as png. Status decided to replaced my standard with something that looks pretty much exactly the same but slightly more compressed. Gcampbell92 (talk) 05:53, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but it is an owning issue when you're involving yourself in edit-wars, and claiming your covers are right and any others uploaded are wrong. Colours on images vary per source and where they come from. And since when do covers have to come from either the label and / or iTunes? If they're found at other credit sources, they're allowed to be uploaded. You're involving yourself in edit wars over covers, to deem yours are "right" and everyone else is "wrong" and uploading edited covers, which is unfounded. livelikemusic ^{my talk page!} 15:04, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If covers are direct from the label or iTunes then usually no editing has been done from the final cover, most websites resize images automatically and sometimes that drops the color profile and the image loses it's original colors so that makes then cover wrong because the colors aren't accurate. I would have no problem if the covers were correct and someone else uploaded that's why I haven't done anything to Britney Spears - Circus it looks correct. With Britney Jean, I uploaded the "correct" cover first yet Status kept replacing mine. Gcampbell92 (talk) 16:22, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
