Hi Romaine,
I agree with you 595 x 842 pixels = 0,5 Megapixel, that is definitively too low. The minimum resolution required for a Quality Image [1] and also for eligible winners in contests like Wiki Loves Earth is 2 Megapixel [2]. That would be the minimum to me.

Hi all,
A professional photo agency offers us (Wikimedia Belgium) a donation of images of art works. They now offer as a start these images with 595 x 842 pixels at 72 dpi. This size is almost double of that from a thumbnail size on Wikipedia. My own (not the most modern) smartphone makes images at 5.312 × 2.988 pixels at 72 dpi. Seeing the size of these images I think they are to low.
My question is: what is the minimum of quality we should ask?
Thanks!
Romaine
