Comment - a very cute photo, but ‎it is only 1,922 × 1,373 pixels, and the requirement are minimum 1500px X 1500px. Hafspajen (talk) 20:38, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I have uploaded a higher resolution version of this file. It is now 2,311 × 1,651 pixels. Blalonde (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 01:05, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - What are the rules? I'm sure that alternatives must be added, rather than an overwrite of the file, especially if it isn't actually just a bigger picture, but a looser crop. They're not the same thing. 129.234.0.22 (talk) 10:55, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
In cases where the original file is radically insufficient and the new version is obviously superior, overwriting the file isn't a big issue. Here, it's not likely to pass with either version. 24.222.214.125 (talk) 21:03, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
