Common clam worm - wrong white blance
Original work by creator and original FP nom by J Milburn
Reason
The original nom and the creator's deletion request says it all. We have ruined a scientifically created image by amateur guesswork and promoted one with the wrong colours. The expert wasn't consulted and his attempts to get the wrong one deleted on Commons have met the usual stupidity where procedures and regulations win over plain common sense and courtesy towards image creators and experts. We should restore image with correct white balance to the article and promote that instead. If you count the votes in the original nom, then the wrong one actually got promoted based on votes (Greg L voted twice).

  • Delist and replace unless contested by a subject expert. Jee 13:45, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Could we please be clearer what we're replacing this with? J Milburn (talk) 14:40, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • You of all people should know :-) -- Colin°Talk 14:52, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist and replace. While I certainly didn't oppose in the first place, I do agree that we can be too quick to edit. The rationale for replacement seems sound. J Milburn (talk) 19:43, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist and replace Per above. Adam Cuerden (talk) 19:44, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist and replace This is wisdom. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 09:10, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist and replace per others. Overwriting a content contributor's file, particulaly after protesting against such, is just bad practice. There is little to be gained other than contributor ill will and future loss to the projects. Saffron Blaze (talk) 13:00, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: Here the original work is not overwritten. The issue is scientific accuracy is neglected for visual pleasing. Jee 15:42, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
