Infobox image size

[edit]

Hi, Jcc, I had set a custom |image_size parameter since default resolution of the image doesn't allow face of person to appear more clear. I however have no hard feeling for 300px, it could be anything that serves the purpose (it was one minor edit made in haste). We sometimes need to set custom image-size in infobox, and this is precisely why the parameter exists. I invite you to discuss the change and am hoping to reach an agreement. (Alternatively, we can crop the image to portrait size.) Thank you. Anup [Talk] 20:18, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Anupmehra: The simple solution is to crop the image. The image size parameter is used when the image may be hard to crop, but on this particular image, there should be absolutely no problem cropping it. jcc (tea and biscuits) 20:22, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, we can do that..but I don't think that would solve this thing. IMO, image-size parameter is more about visual identification of subject being discussed in article (cropping, resolution change are among other methods to achieve this purpose). I do not recall anything on image-cropping anywhere in our image use and/or mos policy. However, WP:IMAGESIZE says that lead image should not be more than 300px. I propose to adjust resolution to 270px. Anup [Talk] 20:59, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Anupmehra: There is no justification for putting it at 270px. The main reason that you want to increase the size is to make the subject clearer. The image at present has a large proportion of blank space. Cropping this blank space will be more useful than increasing it to the seemingly arbitrary size of 270px. jcc (tea and biscuits) 21:13, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I do not disagree to cropping. Yes, readers should be able to identify the subject of article (that's why there's an image). I'm saying that even after cropping it is very unlikely that it'd solved and therefore proposing a value that is in compliance with our image-size policy. I'm totally flexible with proposed value, it can be lesser than 270px but definitely not what it's currently now. If you disagree and have a determined opinion for default value, we may need a third opinion here. Please do not ping me again n again. I'll know when you will post a reply here.

Cropped image, it looks more weird now (face stretched). I'll probably revert myself. Anup [Talk] 21:41, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The cropped image looks fine to me. jcc (tea and biscuits) 21:43, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
uh okay. and image-size? also looks fine to you? Anup [Talk] 22:15, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Anup. jcc (tea and biscuits) 19:11, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
