- Comments: I re-wrote the article and nominated it for GAN. Few issues: the "creator" is unknown, with most crediting to Charles C. Ebbets, but the true identity is not known. See Lunch Atop a Skyscraper#Photographer. Also, more seriously, this source says "... Corbis, the company that owns the rights to the photo ...". Are we sure it does not have any copyright/copyright was not renewed? – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 05:02, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- And now someone's found an even higher resolution image, which was uploaded over the original.
Support whichever is the highest resolution, provided the copyright status is OK. MER-C 10:41, 8 May 2022 (UTC)- @MER-C: the trouble with the original is it's clearly just an upscale. There's more detail in the alt, despite pixel counts. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.8% of all FPs 11:02, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- True that, plus the original is cropped. Support alt 1. MER-C 11:18, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
