PhotosWrong way round photo merger!

4th Aug 2020 14:50 UTCDavid Carter 🌟 Expert

I requested that this photo, originally in the the public galleries along with its three child photos (comprising minId: Q4H-401) and its relatively interesting descriptive information be merged with another minID of the same specimen which was in my user gallery (minID of this is now unknown since the merger). The four photos that were in the user gallery were clearly inferior compared to the four high quality ones in the public gallery, but it seems that the merger has resulted in the previously approved public gallery photos being relegated to user gallery now because the switch has been made the wrong way round!

I was just trying to tidy the site up, but it seems things have been made worse. Please can the four smaller and clearly not as good images [now photos 1,2,3 & 4 here] that were in the user gallery be deleted now in order that the good images [now photos 5,6,7 & 8 here] can return to the public gallery where they once were.

Cheers,

David

Found the original merge minID details now for both the public gallery images (Q4H-401) and the user gallery images (LWJ-32Y) in my photo records if it helps to rectify the problem?

Hi David

We can't 'merge' photos you will have to go into the edit of each photo and request a delete. I have made this photo the parent.

OK cheers Debbie, I have edited each individual photo now and also deleted the description on the last four because they are duplicate photos of the first four if that makes sense!

In which case, please can the last four photos only for minID: Q4H-401 be deleted as they are identical. The ones to delete are:

Thank you for your help and understanding,

David
