  • "*Animations* and video may be somewhat smaller"
"Exceptions to this rule may be made where justified on a case-by-case basis, such as for historical, *technically difficult* or otherwise unique images, if no higher resolution could realistically be acquired."
for taking this screenshot in 1440p I need a 4K monitor, but my monitor and most monitors used by people are 1080p or less, so technically it is very difficult and I can't buy a 4K monitor just to take 1 screenshot, please take it easy. Editor-1 (talk) 06:03, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This image is in no way technically difficult - a Linux user can reproduce it in ten minutes. A 1440p monitor is significantly cheaper than some of the DSLRs and lens kits used around here. MER-C 10:24, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • This log shows that you have 100 edit on the KDE article (4.28% of the total edits made to the page) since 13 January 2008!! so you are a KDE hardcore fan/user/developer and have "Conflict of Interest" so your vote is not valid because KDE is the main competitor of GNOME. Also what does mean "Too cramped"? explain more details. -- Editor-1 (talk) 05:21, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think that editing an article in the field means that they're ineligible. Please don't make unsubstantiated accusations here. I presume there are many GNOME layouts possible, after all, and there is some overlapping of elements. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.3% of all FPs 05:54, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose – In addition to the size objections, this complex image is not visually accessible to most Main Page readers who are not acquainted with the relevant technology. Sca (talk) 13:33, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I don't think the resolution is a big deal. I don't think it makes sense to consider it an animation, but it's true that the reason for that minimum is most connected to photo quality. Nobody would expect a, say, 12 megapixel screenshot. What we want is for it to be a high-quality representation of what something really looks like. That takes more pixels for most photographic subjects, and if we somehow had a 12 MP screenshot it would not actually look like the thing being depicted. My question is about the layout. It's been a long time since I've used GNOME, I would much more expect a typical desktop screen, with icons, etc. and maybe one window open, rather than every bit of space taken up by open programs. I don't know. It seems like a really hard thing for FPC. I don't think it matters at all if people looking at the main page don't know what it is. There's a blurb there, after all, and we're not trying to only appeal to the lowest common denominator. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:29, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
