Oppose Soft and telephone coming out of head. Unrelated to my vote, is this 1500 pixel limit requirement forcing people to enlarge images now? "Weird Al" Yankovic isn't doing it (below) and is garnering many supports. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 23:14, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Like all such things, it's a requirement as much as we choose to enforce it. The intent is to give people reason to release as high quality of an image as possible; but it's not a death pact.

Basically, if you contact a studio or the like, and explain what feature picture requirements are, they're more likely to give us something higher quality if higher quality is part of those requirements. Plus, it encourages people to not be lazy: it's all too easy to stop looking after you find something just over the requirements. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 10:44, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Agree with above. The Weird Al photo is an exception, and it was correctly pointed out in that nom that I made a hypothetical suggestion that we could upsize it and still be happy with the quality, but I didn't actually intend for it to be done because there is no point doing so - it doesn't actually give the photo more detail. In the case of this photo, it was never sharp enough before being upsized, and therefore still suffers from the same problem now. There are also issues with focus, noise and colour balance.
