Comment – The crop used with the article is a bit tighter, and IMO even a little more left-cropping would be advisable. – Sca (talk) 14:28, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- That's what CSS-crop is for, though. Lets you have the full image, but crop it a little for thumbnailing. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.7% of all FPs} 18:31, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Suffren is the photo subject, and those interested in naval history might like to zero in on 'her' a bit closer. All the murky gray context isn't helpful in that regard.– Sca (talk) 14:01, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support Should not crop historical photo. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:01, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why not? It's been done here before. – Sca (talk) 13:43, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PS: The subject of the article is the ship itself, not the Toulon harbor in 1911. – Sca (talk) 13:27, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support – the lower left border looks faded, I think it can be touched up. Bammesk (talk) 03:57, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Bammesk: Should be fixed! Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.7% of all FPs} 06:30, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support. There's a black blotch in the hills, though. MER-C 15:56, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Having the full image restored and featured, in enough detail that it can be CSS cropped for the article, is a good way to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:05, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – Would someone like to explain to us benighted non-fotogs what a CSS crop is? (I was a news fotog of sorts in an earlier lifetime.)

- @Sca: Oh, {{CSS image crop}}. It's a way of cropping things on Wikipedia for articles without cropping the original image. It has the advantage that it directs people interested in the image to the uncropped one, which they can then crop however they like for reuse. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.7% of all FPs}

Okay, thanks Adam. – Sca (talk) 14:11, 14 November 2020 (UTC)01:23, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
