- What's this like in comparison to the original size? The text is a little on the small side... J Milburn (talk) 21:56, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
- The original is 24,244 × 8,078 pixels and very clear. This is downsampled so it will show at thumbnail (5,000 × 1,666 pixels). upstateNYer 23:31, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
