high-res

[edit]

There was a reason why I changed Image:Avatar Wii.JPG. It was too high resolution for a fair use claim, and it was watermarked. Please don't revert it again, as high-res fair use images are eligible for deletion. --Pekaje 16:47, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Template:Non-free media rationale ^ Images must generally be of low resolution. The rule of thumb for raster images is no more than 300 pixels in width or height, which ensures that the image's resolution is less than 0.1 megapixels. If you are using an image of higher resolution, please explain why.

Well, actually it is not. Particularly game covers are a tricky subject, since people might use it for cover art for pirated games. The covers are available elsewhere, sure, but we don't want Wikipedia to be a piracy enabler (even in this small way). So the image should be sufficiently low-res to make it look crummy on printout. 256px wide seems to satisfy that criteria nicely. Besides, when consensus is to do it this way, either do it this way or work to change consensus. --Pekaje 18:35, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
