• Of course it doesn't give a sense of scale. That's not the point of a closeup. I'm not going to respond to the "too small" comment in detail so I can force myself to remain civil. Let's just it's really ticking me off. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:24, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Please, can you elaborate? This is a good faith nomination and an uncontroversial one IMO. I'm surprised to see that someone would be "ticked off" by this. If you believe this should remain an FP please say so. Witty Lama 10:35, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep One of the more unusual and weirdly compelling FPs. This time, size doesn't matter, but I do wish those things would stop looking at me. --Bagginz 04:52, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Virtually all of User:Bagginz's contributions consist of voting Keep in delist nominations.--Bagginz 04:56, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

• Keep I agree with Bagginz: why does size really matter that much? This is simply an interesting image. I think that unless you want to volunteer to go and take a better, higher resolution copy you should keep this one. --Vaelta 17:42, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - The reason size is important is that Wikipedia isn't intended only for online use. Our images should be of a high enough resolution to make decent copies in a printed version of the encyclopaedia - even assuming a print resolution of 200dpi, which is a bit on the low side (usually the standard is 300dpi), you'd be lucky to turn this into a 3"x3" print. Since it's an easily-replaceable image, it is fair to expect high resolution (at least the minimum 1000px). Also, I should point out that past discussions have led to a consensus that go take a better one is not a valid reason for a Support or Keep vote. --YFB ¿ 18:00, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

• Comment: It's always good to ask the original uploader if they have a larger version, rather than [1]. Question: Has any effort been made to replace this image with a Free one from flickr et al.? Samsara (talk • contribs) 17:16, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
