What is the provenance of this image? I can't find it on NASA's website like the image description claims, and it looks to me like a user-created image that was not designed properly. I've added an actual image from NASA in its place. Please also explain the use of this image in the article. Viriditas (talk) 21:19, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This image is two images from http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/phoenix/main/ stacked one above the other. That is what the stated provenance is. I don't understand how the relevance can be misunderstood; as the preamble to the article states: [Space archaeology] includes launch complexes on earth, orbital debris, satellites,and objects and structures on other celestial bodies such as Mars. I also fail to grasp how your "actual image" is an improvement over my two also actual images. In fact yours is one of my two. Brews ohare (talk) 06:56, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Where is that image is on the page? You created the image. But you didn't do it correctly, and the image resolution is badly distorted. If you can't see this, then there might be something wrong with your display; You also added the wrong categories to Commons. I've nominated it for deletion, but you are free to create a new one (or ask for help). Can you answer the question about why it is being used in this article? I mean, there are hundreds of good images, why this one? If you cannot "grasp" how the current image is an improvement over the one you added, then we have a problem with your display. Which browser(s) are you using to view it and what is your screen resolution? Perhaps you don't understand that when you create a montage of two images, you have to use the original size or smaller to get it to display correctly. It looks like you enlarged the image from the original, or you somehow lost quality by saving it multiple times, or all of the above. If you need help with creating images, let me or others know. The image I added is not, I repeat, not one of yours because it displays correctly. Viriditas (talk) 07:06, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It looks OK to me in Firefox and in Explorer. It was saved as JPEG and has low resolution to save space. Brews ohare (talk) 14:13, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

JPEG's aren't upoaded as "low resolution to save space" on Wikipedia, hence you've nailed the problem. Viriditas (talk) 23:42, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the issue is resolved with your most recent upload. Thanks for fixing the image. Viriditas (talk) 07:21, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
