Issue descriptionWhile working in Wikimedia and changing a photo in it the following happened two days ago: File in question: St. George's Hospital, Tooting, from Nutwell St. - geograph.org.uk - 1019781.jpg First attempt I downloaded and edited the file in Windows 10 and uploaded the revised copy. The new file image failed to overwrite the original file; no error messages. Second attempt, error message said file identical; it wasn't. Tried to undo the change, said that it had already been done??? No. Third attempt I made a more radical crop and re-loaded. I was told again the file was identical. The Wikimedia technician fixed the problem. Then today I noticed that when I bring up the page in MS Edge or Internet Explorer it is correct as fixed. However when I open it up in Google Chrome it isn't. The page will not refresh to the current page no matter what I do. If i go back to the Wikimedia front page and type in "St Georges Hospital tooting" as a search it shows me the wrong (outdated) photo. Click on it and it shows me the page for the file unchanged (unfixed) by Wiki helpdesk. Refresh the URL at the top and it still shows the old page. Copy the URL into Edge and bing shows the correct page. Copy the same URL again into a new CHROME page and it shows the wrong page. Really don't know what to make of it Chrome refuses to update no matter what on this particular page. I went into the file history clicked on the latest copy and still it shows the outdated copy of the file. Any ideas? So I got a new photo (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Aire_libre.jpg) I downloaded it and fixed the orientation of it and uploaded it into Wikimedia. Got an interesting result. Chrome updated the large image but failed to update the File History thumbnails. And yet both Edge and Internet Explorer show the pages as being wholly correct.

Can you please include a screenshot of the page with the unexpected image? When I load the Wikipedia homepage and search for "St Georges Hospital tooting", the search results page that appears does not contain any images. More generally, Wikipedia does not appear to be sending Cache-Control directives on its responses, which mean that browsers (all browsers, include IE/Edge/Firefox/Chrome/etc) are forced to use heuristics to decide whether previously-downloaded resources are still fresh.

Category:St George's Hospital, London will now be correct in chrome because I manually cleared the cache, as I said before. See the two snapshots here at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:AKH_KNITTING_%26_DYEING_LTD..jpg. In this case both browsers are showing thee correct main pages, but the revised thumbnail is wrong (after saving). I have made a further edit (in Chrome) and saved it again and still the file is wrong.

So I did it again with a new file making sure I just used Chrome. The new uploaded file looks correct in the main picture but the latest thumbnail (which should match) is wrong and unchanged from the first image). https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Alexanderplatz_ab_2015.jpg. The same page shows correct in Edge. If you were to go to the view the image in Chrome direct, it would be correct. However my Chrome is is not clearing the cache to view the change. Look carefully at the points of the buildings roof for the difference.
