Pankhurst arrest
  • Hi, S. DÉNIEL; I don't rightly know how the current version was achieved, but resolution is secondary for such an historic photo (compare: the historical category). If someone were to create an even better, restored version, that would be a great service to the community, but I fear I am unable to. Btw. please remember to sign your comments.--Peulle (talk) 19:19, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agreed, and this is the most ridiculous one I've seen so far. It's illegitimate to oppose a historic photo because the original scan size was lower than 2MP. Judge the photo as it is. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:42, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @S. DÉNIEL: I'll address your concern properly, since there seems to be a misunderstanding of the rules. Point #1: an image must be judged in its current version. As you can see on the image page, the original version of this image was only 590×800, but higher resolution images have since been found in digital archives and uploaded by other users, thus replacing the original upload. Therefore, the image file is bigger than the minimum requirement. Point #2: there are exceptions to the rule which apply here. Allow me to explain: Yes, the 2 megapixel rule is normally in effect and applies to all pictures. There are, however, exceptions, and I encourage you to read about those in the Guidelines. As for the exception for this particular image, the relevant passage is: "Given sufficient "wow factor" and mitigating circumstances, a featured picture is permitted to fall short on technical quality." Given that this image records an important moment in history and is famous in its own right, users might have voted for it even if no size bigger than 2MP existed. As it does, however (see point #1), the point is moot. In summary, and I'm sorry to say this as I think each user should be allowed to vote their minds on FP images, but your vote is wrong since it was made on faulty premises.--Peulle (talk) 18:51, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for all these explanations. I thought the picture was the same and artificially enlarged. I should have said it in my comment, sorry. After watching with more attention I see that it is not the same version. the noise is the same but there are other small details. the link of the source deceived me. thanks again --S.
