This image on Commons was restored by me and then by Yann, and by every standard this is the better image. Not only is it color but it is higher quality with it being about 6,000 pixels. I believe that this should be the main image, but I have to discuss this on the talk page. Thoughts? Wcamp9 (talk) 16:05, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You keep making the same points that are either marginal or totally irrelevant. It needs to be reiterated that the following are not themselves compelling criteria for whether an image should be the lead illustration of a biography:
Whether it is in color or black and white
Its native resolution, given it is displayed in the article at thumbnail size
What users have edited it or the editing work they have done
What status it has beyond the internal consensus for placement in the article in question
OK fine, but you have to let me make my points before absolutely going off and reverting my every move that I do like your monitoring me. I think ignoring these points, we can say that it really is subjective to which image is better. When I Googled Louis Armstrong images I found that there are slightly more results showing the image I want than the one that you reverted it to. But at an encyclopedic standpoint, it would be great to see an image showing the colors of one of the first popular African American entertainers. Wcamp9 (talk) 01:53, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry but you are plainly wrong when you say that the color is irrelevant. Color is certainly a defining part of the physical appearance of a person. I support replacing the lead image with the color image and oppose unnecessary black-and-white images. ―Howard • 🌽3320:49, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
