Awaiting an explanation of the legal guidelines for using "too high of a resolution". As I've explained this was a fairly low resolution image scanned from a linotype microdot book photo - they look high-res because I Photoshopped them to look really sharp. This is only an apparent high resolution, not true native high resolution.

Per your question on my talkpage. "A commercial photograph reproduced in high enough resolution to potentially undermine the ability of the copyright holder to profit from the work." (Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Images_2). i.e. if it's good enough to print out as well as in the book, it's too high. I believe the guideline is to have the image size just big enough to convey what is required, while some administrators make an arbitrary cap at about 300 pixel width.

I've downsized the resolution of this image to a max pixel width of 800. I chose that number because a} It is a significantly lower resolution than the original photos from the book. b} It happens to be the maximum size displayed on the file page for all photos on Wikipedia c) It is the equivalent of computer screen VGA resolution, pretty much the minimum for being able to see any sort of good detail in the photos.

I tried hard, but cannot find the penetration hole described...?!? -- DevSolar (talk) 10:07, 14 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

It is the black round hole located just in front of the rectangular box on the side of the sponson, right below the front half of the turret. DarthRad (talk)
