I accidentaly uploaded an image over someone else's image, replacing mine with theirs! I uploaded it again as a seperate file, but it is still an image that exists! How do I delete my images and upload them as seperate files?

:First of all, mark every edit you make on a discussion page with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, so we can know who you are. ;) Only admins can delete files, so you can link the image to an admin, who can delete it. It might be possible to for a patroller to roll back your edit, but I'm not quite sure. However, you can uplaod the image again as a different file type (.jpg, etc.), until the first image is deleted. -Austin

::I'm guessing the image you meant was [[:File:Four Giants.jpg|this one]]? Replacing an existing image (as you did in this case) is normally only used to replace one image with another of higher quality, and is only possible when both files are of the same type (jpg, png etc.). As you said, in this case you should have uploaded a new image separately. The steps for doing this are shown in the Help Guide [[Help:Images|here]]. In most cases, you'll also need to either add the [[Template:Copyright|<nowiki>{{copyright}}</nowiki>]] tag to the image's page after upload, or select it from the "Licensing" dropdown on the upload page.

::Also; Austin, I love how you advised to sign posts with four tildes, and then didn't do that yourself ;) {{:User:Adam/sig}} 08:22, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
