choice of infobox main photo

[edit]

I find the current photo choosed as first in the infobox to be inappropriate for what is primarly a music group. A fashion even should not be used to portray them in favor of a music event. I think that the "NewJeans at the 2023 Melon Music Awards" photo would be vastly better as a first pick.

For now, I am refraining from doing a bold edit, what do other editors think? Cinemaandpolitics (talk) 16:21, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it. Also, imo, a simply better photo. Cinemaandpolitics (talk) 15:50, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My edit was reverted by editor @ValenciaThunderbolt with this reasoning: It's preferable to go with the most recent image.
I wanted to ask, why this preference for a one year more recent picture instead of a picture that represent the subjects in their main activity? MOS:LEADIMAGE states that Lead images should be natural and appropriate representations of the topic. This seems to support my choice.
I'll tag other editors of the page in case we can't get to an agreement. Cinemaandpolitics (talk) 18:45, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Look for exemple at the portrait of Trump on the infobox. It is from 2017, there will be many many photos to choose from that are more recent. Still that one is picked because it is the most appropriate representations. Cinemaandpolitics (talk) 21:00, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
MOS:LEADIMAGE goes in even more detail, stating: "be the type of image used for similar purposes in high-quality reference works, and therefore what our readers will expect to see"
If you search for NewJeans on google images you can see that the group is almost exclusivelly associated with colorful or informal fits. The Wikipedia photos is the only one that stands out as extremelly formal. Cinemaandpolitics (talk) 12:37, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
