998

Well, I checked the original image, and it's at 998 px at full page. The problem is that the most important panels are 2/8th of the whole page.

We could upscale the quality. I'm just baffled that we need a ridiculous standard of quality for something that people can clearly read.

UPDATE:

I used an upscale program to increase the minuscule quality. It's now at 1073 px.

29.2 [tup]

I am curious about the "why" of the size increase too. It does look nicer, but it's not really something I'd vote a pic down over.

Since it's a Google rec I'm wondering if it has something to do with increasing search visibility?

[up][up]It's been discussed to death on the IP Policy and the Changelog threads, and possibly on others. The short answer is that yes, the site owners decided on a minimum recommended image size because of SEO reasons, and we in the IP forums try to find large enough images as much as possible because the site policy says so. In fact, the image uploader on the wiki won't allow uploading images smaller than 800px wide, but it can be worked around if really needed by uploading through the forum uploader. Emphasis on "if really needed". We prefer upscaling images to uploading smaller ones because while the actual quality might not be better, it will help the SEO.
