:Images 2, 4, and 5 all have other people in them in difficult-to-crop areas so I'd scratch them immediately. Image 8 (the current) is just terrible; she's looking to the side. Images 1 and 6 are really low resolution. To me that leaves image 3 (the original standard) and 7. I'm breaking towards '''Image 7''' as it's the highest resolution and not that far off from her career peak.

*'''Image 1''' It's not that bad and it goes back to that rule of adding images of people when they're at the prime of their career much like other deceased celebrities. The current image used is not bad either. --[[Special:Contributions/2601:249:8E00:420:31D0:A668:6DF:B562|2601:249:8E00:420:31D0:A668:6DF:B562]] ([[User talk:2601:249:8E00:420:31D0:A668:6DF:B562|talk]]) 21:17, 20 February 2023 (UTC) |

Trivia Change.
I removed the trivia bit about Raquel appearing on Monty Python.
Whereas Raquel is mentioned several times on Monty Python’s Flying Circus … she never appeared on the show. The episode with Ringo Starr also featured Lulu, not Raquel. The original poster may have been confusing the film, “The Magic Christian”, which featured Ringo, a cameo by Raquel, and was co-written / cameoed by John Cleese & Graham Chapman of Monty Python.75.107.41.198 (talk) 00:14, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
Movies. She was also in "Grumpier Old Men" with A huge cast of stars

- She was not. You’re thinking of Ann-Margret. Rcarter555 (talk) 00:56, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
What image should we choose?
Recently I've noticed that a lot of people have been switching the image for Welch. Which should we use? I'm hoping we can settle this here first. I'm open to every idea InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 00:21, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- @InvadingInvader I don't care, but it is customary after someone passes to change the image to one of them in their prime. So something in the 1960's I'd say. Nswix (talk) 16:31, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
We need a gallery to compare the candidates. So far we've had the following:
The latter is a crop of a picture at Commons which seems quite striking so I'm trying it right now. Per the ITN discussion, WikiWikiWayne has a suggestion too and there may be more... Andrew🐉(talk) 10:57, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Also additional two images. IP address (talk) 15:02, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've consolidated them into the gallery for uniformity, ok? Andrew🐉(talk) 17:01, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- 3rd image is my preferred one personally. It still represents Welch in a relative period of primeness, and it has a much better resolution than other images, especially when compared to the 1976 image InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 18:11, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- None your options are good. IMO this one is the most fitting File:Raquel_Welch_in_The_Biggest_Bundle_of_Them_All.jpg. Infobox photo needs to be from an era of her peak popularity/power. Other people also shouldn't be in the photo.IceFrappe (talk) 20:06, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- My primary concern is resolution with these "prime images", and I would say that the third image more than makes up for lost "primeness" in quality. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 23:11, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- What about the issue of B&W vs colour? The colour images suggested seem much richer and more vibrant than the B&W ones. Andrew🐉(talk) 08:20, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
- I would agree with this…it's an unmentioned benefit of the newer images. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 22:31, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
