  • Too big at 41Kx16K pixels, thus Oppose unless file resized to manageable size (e.g. earlier upload 2021-12-04 12:36:54), now it breaks Firefox, breaks ZoomViewer. There's no need for a map with this little detail to be such a large file. --Janke | Talk 21:12, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the size of the tiny text justifies it, but a courtesy copy would be nice. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.1% of all FPs 16:46, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    I kind of have to agree. It's only a tiny bit of the map, in the end, and there's not really much text saying why this is an important part of the border (if it is). I could see it as part of a gallery/set, but it's hard to understand why specifically this one. I also fully get why it passed Commons, where the usage wouldn't be judged so much.

  • Comment has this been upscaled at some point? At full resolution it looks blocky.©Geni (talk) 10:07, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
