According to Help:Infobox_picture, "image_size should normally be left blank, so that the size defaults to the size set in a user's preferences." Since infobox size is a variable, we shouldn't arbitrarily keep uploaded images at a certain size. Uploading the largest, highest quality version possible allows us to better show the given image. ʤɛfiːpiː (talk) 00:53, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(copied reply from Film_Fan's image reupload and post on JeffyP's wall) you are not supposed to upload at the highest res allowed, actually, and a higher res is certainly not a valid reason to replace a poster. the quality is no better, and for the vast majority of users, itll be lower because wiki will resize it down to 250px. i can point you to the relevant pages about this if you like but trust me, ive been doing this a long time.
also after checking the two images, the colors are not properly rendered on your upload anyway, so the one I uploaded is actually higher quality and a closer resemblance to the original image.
I don't agree - the highest quality version should always be uploaded. It enhances the image, both literally and figuratively. Further, just because it's being used on an infobox now, doesn't mean that's the only place it'll be used. I'm calling for a third opinion on this, to understand what the best solution truly is. ʤɛfiːpiː (talk) 01:06, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Here's a third opinion, although I find this argument to be rather confusing. I don't see an issue with the color of either of the examples. Additionally, the resolution at which the thumbnail will be reduced should not really be a factor unless something extraordinary breaks the image. That is not the case here, so I find the 259 × 384 version preferable. Nihlus 08:57, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, look at the reds of the toadstools, and the word NETFLIX. The colors are faded. It's either a low-quality resizer, or the source image is low quality. The image I uploaded is clearly higher quality. And, once again, the vast majority of Wikipedia visitors do not have accounts, so they see the default size, and also the vast majority of users with accounts use the default settings anyway. Regarding thumbnails, Wikipedia's thumbnails are always distorted, the colors bleed into each other and the depth of image is lost, so avoiding this process is preferable. There is a whole conversation about this on one of the official pages that corroborates all of this. I'm just trying to remember where it is. — Film Fan 10:04, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Film Fan, this is an incredibly stupid thing to edit war over. Two people have preferred the other version, so I suggest dropping it and moving on to something else. Nihlus 10:31, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Are we just ignoring the evidence now? — Film Fan 10:34, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Film Fan, WP:3RR doesn't care about evidence. The differences were nearly impossible to notice. The largest size should be used (within the fair use guidelines) if the differences you are getting caught up on are practically non-existent. Nihlus 10:42, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Community consensus - and indeed the relevant policy - is not to use the largest resolution allowed, actually. — Film Fan 21:17, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If you're right, I'm happy to cede. Just cite the consensus or policy you're referring. ʤɛfiːpiː (talk) 00:12, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Film Fan, WP:IMAGERES states that it should be as small as possible to still be useful. Given the minor details of the poster, it would make since to use the largest version permissible as to aid those who are viewing it or may have trouble viewing it at such a small size. Additionally, please stop edit warring. Nihlus 10:12, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That policy clearly backs me up. And I am not edit warring. Please see the most recent edit. Cheers. — Film Fan 10:15, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Film Fan, I'll be reverting it back to the agreed version here soon. Nihlus 10:16, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
