  • Don't we say "differently body-shaped" in this sensitive age? EEng (talk) 07:56, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
Why not "rotund"?Georgejdorner (talk) 19:37, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
  • ALT1 ... that the rotund would have struggled to squeeze onto The Crescent (pictured) in Taunton? EEng (talk) 19:42, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
Would that be an S, M, L, or XL suit? EEng (talk) 22:32, 7 March 2015 (UTC) Slight additional rewording.
Gosh, there are a lot of choices here, aren't there? EEng (talk) 09:13, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
Yeah. I'm not keen on ALT2 myself, I think when there are so many commonly known words that can be used, requiring a wl to use corpulent is silly. Harrias talk 14:26, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
I think it's fine and even desirable to use wording that stretches the reader's vocabulary a bit, and anyway I don't think corpulent is any more obscure than rotund. EEng (talk) 18:22, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
  • Confirmed new creation, size (6,357 characters), and policy. Image OK. I prefer Alt1 (although the quote does use the word "corpulent"). Referenced but cited work is behind a pay-wall, so assuming good faith. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 13:03, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
