  • How is this a better image? MER-C 20:19, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It's in JPG format. Wow (talk) 20:28, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – The current FP has higher quality, i.e. more pixels, larger file size, sharper when viewed at full size. Bammesk (talk) 02:06, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Bammesk. – Hamid Hassani (talk) 18:29, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @MER-C, Bammesk, and Hamid Hassani: There's a bug on Wikipedia (that has been known for over a decade now) that PNGs are scaled to thumbnail by an algorithm that makes them rather soft and blurry. Compare the thumbnails, not the full-size image, and it's exceptionally clear around the braiding and hair.
    That said, it's fully possible to just convert PNG to JPEG. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.6% of all FPs. 05:41, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I support converting the current FP from png to jpeg (at the highest quality setting). Bammesk (talk) 04:23, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
