May I suggest the gallery for this picture should be either Non-Sporting or Funny? I have my own category of Dogs/Non-Sporting. Just a suggestion

May I suggest the gallery for this picture

Hi, we need only the proven (non-guessed) data in Archive.
The main purpose of Archive section is to restore and keep the data that was available on the old WS website. Can't afford guesses here.
If you have any WBZ - that would be very helpful, as we can pull the exact data out of WBZ. With JPG-only pics it is not technically possible, that's why some of pics living in "Unsorted".

PS: the dup photo was in "Cats & Dogs / Medium Dogs", see http://parasite.kick...pic/4540-19364/ (but that's different ID).

Sorry about that, I get it. Just ignore my recent post for the football pic, please. What are WBZ pics, exactly? I am not sure what you mean. I have thumbnails with info but no ID numbers. I did keep these pictures since 1999 plus the info on flash drives so I wouldn't lose the original pics if that helps any.

What are WBZ pics, exactly?

WBZ is a proprietary picture file's format used by WS while distributing daily images. By clicking on the old WS daily images - you was downloading WBZ file which get imported to official WS client.
Each WBZ file contains the picture itself PLUS all the necessary info (such as ID, Gallery data, Description etc) as provided by WS.
You may notice the WBZ wiles attached to the most of the posts (see http://parasite.kick...pic/4540-19364/ as a sample).

By having WBZ file it will be possible to pull all the necessary data out of it. By having "just JPG" or template - it is not possible to pull such metadata out of that, so those images residing in UNSORTED unless the proven metadata is obtained (this way or another). Of course we all may GUESS the missed data - but it is not guaranteed to be as exact as WS had that earlier days.
