Talk:William Howard Taft

Lead image
Would be a better lead image, or the current one (probably would redo the current one's colours a bit. While the original is a bit dark, so lightening it wasn't a bad idea, it might get a bit better look with some care when doing the levels adjustment.

 * Well, going to presume no-one much cares. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 20:28, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * For fuck's sake. I spend literally a month working on an image, and the reaction to a fucking sliver of headroom is to "compromise" by replacing it with a completely different image that A. is full of chromatic abberation and B. appeared in the article much further down, so was used twice. Let the people who know what they're doing with images handle images, please, because you clearly don't know anything about historical images, and it's getting frustrating, like I don't want to do anything on any article you might potentially ever edit.

 * I did not replace the image you used. I just made alterations to the "crop_top_perc" category when editing the Taft article's infobox. If you have that much of a problem with it, do an RFC and obtain consensus opinion on how the image should look.Emiya1980 (talk) 14:47, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm really sorry. It was this edit withput a summary. I'll try to be less prickly. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 18:09, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * As someone still getting the hang of "CSS Easy Image Crop", how exactly would I go about cropping the image from the bottom upward?Emiya1980 (talk) 21:36, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
 * crop_bottom_perc     =  5
 * ...would remove 5% from the bottom. Though I wouldn't crop too much. That shirt's going to look increasingly weird as more gets cropped. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 22:58, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
