Comment – FP criteria says images should be a "minimum of 1500 pixels in width and height". This is only 1181 pixels. I would support the infobox image if a 1500+ pixel version of it can be found. Bammesk (talk) 02:16, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Resized - truly sorry. I know I can't change half-way of the nomination the picture. I thought it was the best. --LLcentury (talk) 11:06, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Did you upsample the image or download a new version from the source? MER-C 14:01, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MER-C - I resized the same picture which was uploaded previously. --LLcentury (talk) 14:07, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's upsampling, a practice that is strongly frowned upon at FPC. You should revert your changes - (1) per c:COM:OVERWRITE and (2) the information "added" by the upsampling algorithm is literally made up and can be anything. Upsampling does not address the lack of physical resolution (i.e. information per steradian, see also Angular resolution) in the original image. Speedy close. MER-C 14:31, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
