We are probably the world's largest site for free wallpapers: the median of the distribution looks like it's 800 kpixels, which is 1024x768.
I'm not so sure, looking at our top aspect ratios: Images Ratio 201436 1.33 61803 0.75 40633 1.00 37839 1.50 20991 0.66 14287 0.62 12942 1.60 10734 1.25 10552 1.49 10352 0.80 ~~~~~~~~
I'd be shocked if flickr didn't completely dwarf us in terms of images with 4:3 and 5:4 aspect.
Since most cameras produce either 4:3 or 3:2, it would be interesting to answer the question: Are Wikimedians cropping all these images, or are we just pulling lots of images from outside websites where they are cropped to fit the layout?
