Oops, looks like yours is already gone! It was bigger, but maybe not a better quality picture unfortunately.

Thanks for looking it up! I had a general discussion with you mods about how to upload pictures a few days after this report; I'm not sure you remember? My problem is that I still can't see differences between pictures regarding the quality, so - when in question - I go for the better resolution. In this specific case:
1.) That's the one David Haller uploaded before me and kept on TMDb:

2.) That's the one I uploaded afterwards and that I think has a better quality:

It's just, I really can't see the difference; I only uploaded the second one because of the bigger resolution and - I think/thought - better quality. But 2 days later David Haller already deleted it from the site.
In this case, it's fine - if you guys think it's bad, just delete it. I'm more cautious now with my uploads of pictures and try to avoid bad pictures. But just this morning I saw that David Haller deleted half a dozen backdrops I uploaded for episodes of "The Good Fight" - and all of those looked perfectly fine for me. So even if I try to be more cautious, he thinks differently ...
@banana_girl, can I please ask you something else really quick (you were working on another of my reports yesterday, so it's fresh in your memory). It looks like that you kept 2 versions of a mini-series/movie with the name "Portrait of a Marriage":
They both have the same IMDb ID, and I assume the second is only the DVD version of the first. I know that you did research on both of them - are those two different titles? Or why did you keep them both?
Sorry for so much text - I tried to be shorter but didn't succeed.
Best wishes,
janar

Just commenting on this part of the issue. The one by David Haller is a little bit sharper if you look at the faces. But pretty close call overall.

Yeah, "bigger is better" is not always true. I wish I had better advice, but comparing both picture when they are at full size is usually what I do. There are very small differences, but as lineker said, this one is a very close call. Hopefully your eyes will get use to it with a lot of practice.
One, two, three, four & five. These are the one, right?
Can you see the difference between these two? The color, the details, the sharpness, etc.
I did! Mini-series are allowed in both the TV and the Movie sections for now. But we talked about it a few weeks ago and Travis decided to discontinue the exception. I think the plan is to start deleting the mini-series that are in the movie section in August.

Thanks a lot for explaining (again) to you both, lineker & Banana!

Yeah, I hope so, too! It's really hard for me to see a difference here - I couldn't tell, even if I watch it at full size and look at the faces. It's all the same for my eyes ...
Yes, those 5 from episode 4, and 4 more from episode 2: six, seven, eight, and nine.
Yes, if you show me these 2 pictures together, I can see the difference very clear and the left one is a lot better!
I think my problem is more to decide if a picture is good enough to upload it here to TMDb or not? Because it's more difficult when I see only one picture alone and decide about the quality. In other words, I wouldn't have a problem with the picture on the right to upload it - in my opinion it's good enough. Or, look at this one here: This wasn't deleted from episode 2, and for my eyes it's the same quality as the ones who were deleted from episode 2. I guess if I would see all of these pictures in a better quality in comparison to those, it would be obvious to me and my eyes, too - but if I see them alone, I'm just lost ...
Anyway, I think I understand now and will only upload those that look really good. I made the experience that the best pictures are found in recaps after the episodes aired. So I think I'll always wait for those recaps and upload those pictures. That's the best solution in my opinion.
Okay, I didn't know that or forget about it already. Thanks for all your work and comments!
Best wishes,
janar

This one is kind of a similar picture if it helps. But yeah, I see how that can be a problem. The safest route is probably with official stills, but you still need to be able to tell whether the version you find is good or not.
I think a small part of the problem is that you're adding pictures for a new and probably popular TV series. Nowdays the quality of the stills available is ridiculous. It allows us to be super picky. But IMO that's also one of TMDb's strong point. The pictures are awesome!
