- Ezlev, For "one of the first", see the cites in the main article (here I indeed focused on the tent). Check for example [4]. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:27, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the link, Piotrus! Since that means ALT1 could run also, I should say that the image (while fascinating) isn't all that clear at main page size. ALT0 is still good to go, and ALT1 is good to go without the image. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 02:35, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- Ezlev, User:Ixocactus just extracted a bunch more images, see commons:Category:Argonauts of the western Pacific. Anything jumps out to you as possibly better? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:48, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- None of the clearer ones seem as closely connected to the subject as Plate 1 – I'm just not sure that one is clear enough. Maybe it's fine and I'm being too picky, or maybe it could be edited for more clarity?
Let's get another set of eyes on the image for ALT1, please. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 18:23, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- The image either has some very strange compression or it has way too much contrast/brightness applied, because that's patently not how the images would look like even back then. I mean, it's legible, but the quality is egregious. I'll take a better-quality image and we'll see if it still works. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 08:05, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
- UPD: we'll have to deal with the images we have. Mine wasn't much better, unfortunately. Oops. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 15:10, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
- Szmenderowiecki, Ezlev: while I can see the tent in the image, even in the thumb, I am fine if the image doesn't run. It's relevant but not super relevant - a picture of the Malinowski on the verandah would be priceless, but I am not sure one exists... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:31, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- Yeah, we're gonna have to forgo the idea of an image if this is the clearest we've got—at least we've got a functional ALT0 theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 01:05, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
