This thread will be to list pages whose pics are fine as is but are needing quality upgrades, so we don't take up space in the forum with individual threads for them.
Swapping a pic with a better-quality version is a free action, as is swapping a pic with a larger identical version to fit the new image size criteria (800px minimum width). If there are more changes in the proposed swap (e.g. less text, slightly different coloring or crop), however, you might want to post here first.
Resources:
- Reverse image search engines like Google Image Search
, Tineye
, Yandex
, and Bing
are useful for finding larger-quality versions.
- SauceNAO
can locate artwork sources.
- GIMP
(download), Photopea
, and Photoroom
are good freeware for simple manipulations like increasing brightness or removing backgrounds.
Please add pages that need work to the following Sandbox page: Artifacts 'R' Us

I feel like the page image for Right-Handed Left-Handed Guns could be improved, if only because the image quality at that resolution makes it difficult to actually discern what's on the side of the Counter-Strike gun. I made an alternative using the Counter-Strike: Source model for the top panel, since at least to me it's more obvious what's actually being looked at on the side of the gun.
There is a cleaner textless version of the poster for 101 Dalmatians (1996). Would it be okay to swap it.

She Cleans Up Nicely: The image on the right seems to be relatively fine in terms of quality from what I can see, but the one on the left is far lower in quality and somewhat clashes with the right-hand image.
SignificantAnagram.Harry Potter: Not only is the image of a low quality, the top half also doesn't have the starting name fully spelt out (which is admittedly a bit of a nitpick but, considering the nature of the trope, I feel it does need to be fully spelt out in the image).

Honestly I kind of prefer you second on to the current on the page. Maybe when their is some space a thread should be started.
Edit: Started a thread
for She Cleans Up Nicely.

Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadSWAT Kats the "Razor and T-Bone" picture in the section for the SWAT Kats themselves has watermark on it. I was going to replace it with a quality upgrade I found but I was wondering if it was even needed or if we should at least be foldering it because they have images for their civilian identities together and then again as the SWAT Kats individually.
I started a thread to be sure:

I was trying to find an upgrade for Strange Terror From Beyond The Stars!. How's this?

Suggested Upgrade:

Hey I found a less blurry version (and a PNG not JPG) of the image on Everyone Loves Blondes but I was also wondering if a closer crop that still kept a lot of guys holding heart shaped cards might work better at wiki size too?:
Or should I wait for a slot to open up if it's a big enough difference?

I don't think it is that big of a difference and that you should just be able to add it.
I know there's been changes to policy about the images for unreleased works not changing until release (at least, I've been told that's a new policy), but the uploaded image on Grand Theft Auto VI is a slightly fuzzy and seemingly cropped version of the widescreen wallpaper art they released alongside the trailer (I think it might have been lifted from a news article?). I'd like to suggest a replacing it with a slightly higher-res version in an alternate, poster-orientation crop if that's alright.
