Are yo0u sure that "Stargazer and Pegasus F43 ..." is (or will be) Picture of the Day 2027-12-12 ) Uli Elch (talk) 15:40, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

@Uli Elch: Template:Potd/2027-12#12. No clue why, it's just what was posted to the file's page. Personally, I find it a little strange that PotD is being filled up so far in advance, and with such old images. Huntster (t @ c) 15:47, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

@Don-vip: Hi Don! Sadly, my health no longer permits me to travel. I do hope you have a great time and some great discussions there! Huntster (t @ c) 13:24, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
Hi! I'm really sorry to hear that. Things are nice here, we even had the luck to have a welcome greeting from... Sophie Adenot right from the ISS! Take care of yourself, I wish you all the best! vip (talk) 20:27, 24 July 2026 (UTC)

Hey @Huntster, I want to know the reason for redirecting File:Hubble Spies One-Sided Spiral (NGC 4654).jpg to File:One-sided spiral (potm2607a).jpg. Abdullah1099 (talk) 08:54, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

@Abdullah1099: File:Hubble Spies One-Sided Spiral (NGC 4654).jpg was lower resolution but otherwise identical. Huntster (t @ c) 13:11, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
Ok, But i think the source and credit and other think are different and are licensed differently. So, probably it is not the same thing overall. Sorry, but i don't have very good knowledge on copyright Abdullah1099 (talk) 13:38, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
@Abdullah1099: That part is irrelevant. The existing file had a valid license and source. Duplicates having different data can still be deleted. We don't keep multiple copies of a file just because they come from different sources. Huntster (t @ c) 13:44, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
Then why same image from ESA and Flickr of Hubble and Webb are kept while not NASA ones. Abdullah1099 (talk) 13:50, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
@Abdullah1099: I'm not sure what you mean. Link the two images? Huntster (t @ c) 14:02, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
For example, File:NASA Webb, Hubble Reveal History of Relic of Milky Way’s Formation - Flickr - NASA Hubble.jpg is same as File:Bulge fossil fragment Terzan 5 (Webb and Hubble image) (weic2611a).jpg Abdullah1099 (talk) 14:06, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
@Abdullah1099: I'm so confused. You're asking about images totally unrelated to the ones you initially mentioned. I'm not omniscient; I don't have a magical ability to know all duplicate images on the site. I happened to notice that one you uploaded was a duplicate and dealt with it. These others simply haven't been noticed yet. Read COM:Dupe for more information on how duplicates are handled. Huntster (t @ c) 14:12, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
