512x512 icons
Please don't upload 512x512 icons. "Low resolution" is a requirement for fair use claims. AlistairMcMillan (talk) 17:58, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I am trying to edit and improve some of the logos/icons for some of the Apple related articles. What resolution of pictures can I use? Also, can I upload a high resolution picture and then within the article, make the amount of pixels smaller? Thanks --Applehockey87 (talk) 21:17, 11 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Adding icons/logos to articles is debatable to start with. Not long ago most of the icons were deleted from articles, and they just recently started being added again. I wouldn't be surprised if they all get deleted again.


 * One of the rules for claiming fair use is that the fair use content "would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding". Icons don't really significantly increase understanding.


 * There is a pile of information available on the subject of uploading images available here: Uploading images. AlistairMcMillan (talk) 21:46, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
