Nice[edit]

I love it when a brand new article attracts multiple editors!

@Epipelagic and @Hohum, I have no doubt that your assessment is correct, you both have extensive experience at Commons, but just for my learning, if either of you would be willing -- why is the main image considered to be in the public domain? I see that the second image is from NASA, so that's why it is? Valereee (talk) 17:03, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I had looked at that but not found the statement...I think maybe I should have searched on copyright. Duh. :D Valereee (talk) 17:52, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Image size[edit]

@Deor keeps reverting my changes to the image size, so as to not break WP:RRR, I'll post here. He says the image is too large, yet his revert is making it larger? PalauanReich (talk) 15:12, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't "keep reverting"; I've reverted you only once on this article, replacing your image-size specification of 630px with the default image size (which Hohum had previously done when you specified an even larger image size). If you think that a change from this to this is making the image larger, you aren't looking very closely. Deor (talk) 15:40, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking pretty closely, and the image is increasing in size. Going from this to this is an increase. PalauanReich (talk) 16:15, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What is your thumbnail size set to in your preferences? Also, WP:IMGSIZE is relevant. (Hohum ^@) 17:47, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It was set to 400px, that was the problem. @Deor, sorry for making the image larger again. PalauanReich (talk) 00:33, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
