US-NTSB-Seal.svg is existing SVG. No use. Fry1989 (talk) 22:43, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
- Keep - Actually this is here to use to replicate US government webpages on Wikisource. Normally a low quality version would be deleted, but this is expressly for duplicating content from US PD government webpages onto Wikisource. See Wikisource:en:Portal:Korean Air Flight 801 investigation and Wikisource:ko:KAL801기 사고 청문회
- Also I understand you were trying to improve the page, but Wikisource I think is about presenting source material as it was. Those US government webpages did not use more detailed US seals images. They used the lower quality one, so I believed that we should use the lower quality image on those Wikisource documents.

- The SVG is scalable, and can be made to fit any size needed. Therefore we don't need the GIF version of the seal. It's the same Seal, even if the formats are different. Fry1989 (talk) 02:42, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
- I understand that the SVG version can be scaled to fit any size. I also understand that it's the same seal. But what I am trying to do is actually recreate the webpage using the same images and files, but using MediaWiki instead of HTML. That means that if the webpage has a low quality GIF, then it uses the low quality GIF even though we can scale an SVG version down to make it look similar.

- But that creates a problem. When somebody wants to look at the seal, they won't make out what it is. This file is not very good. Surely you can understand that. Also, re-creating a website can get into all sorts of copyright problems, so I would be concerned about that. Fry1989 (talk) 03:04, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
- I do understand the file is not very good, so I would say "that's what the website had, considering it was made in the late 1990s"
- The question is, on Wikisource, should webpages strictly adhere to the images that they came with, or should they be "improved" upon?

Kept: Commons doesn't editorialize on the other projects. The removal of this image when it was in use and contrary to the Wikisource philosophy was not appropriate. Wikisource doesn't even fix typos because the idea is to replicate the original as accurately as possible. Please do not remove the uses of this again. – Adrignola talk 20:31, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
