@De728631 the above file was based on File:Chasmosaurus BW.jpg. If the deleted file is non-free then the original file should be also deleted. Khủng Long (talk) 16:33, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

I just noticed that you uploaded a lot of these dinosaur images from Nobu Tamura's website. Actually this has become a big problem since only the preview images have been published under a truly free licence, while the high-resolution pictures you uploaded are restricted to non-derivative and non-commercial use. I think we can fix this though by overwriting the images wherever it is possible. The preview samples can be found in the gallery directly at http://spinops.blogspot.com, and I would like to help you with replacing the non-free files at Commons. What do you think about this? De728631 (talk) 16:42, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

@De728631 I didn't copy the high-resolution pics of Tamura. I just used the pics already on Commons, removed their background by this tool. In the background-removing process the file size increases but the resolution (pixels) remains the same. You can test it yourself. I couldn't upload to the original files as new versions because of different file type (png, not jpg) Khủng Long (talk) 16:46, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

P/S Actually Tamura himself said on his website the high-resolution pics are availabe upon requests. There's no way I can get a hand of those pics without contacting Tamura himself, which I didn't. Khủng Long (talk) 16:52, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying this. I'm going to look further into this now to see if we the original images and versions can be saved here at Commons. De728631 (talk) 16:54, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

@De728631 People in Wikiproject Dinosaurs may be able to help you in this, as I am not the one who uploaded the original pics. In the meantime I'll refrain from uploading further derivative works of Tamura that are already on Commons. I'm looking forward to your speedy correspondence so I can proceed with my work again.

I see. The good news is that these images were uploaded to Commons by Nobu Tamura himself (see en:User:NobuTamura), so we can use them here as they come. I do appreciate your work, so please go on. I have also undeleted the Chasmosaurus file. De728631 (talk) 17:06, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you :) Khủng Long (talk) 17:16, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
