You're not obligated to do additional work of re-scanning images, but the bigger and higher quality the better. (: If an image is too tiny to be useful it may be deleted, but that is unlikely. However, larger and higher quality images are more likely to be designated as Quality Images or Featured Pictures. While even small images may be adequate for thumbnails in Wikipedia articles, the biggest and highest quality images would be preferable.

If your available time and/or money constrains you from providing the highest quality and largest possible images, I wouldn't worry about this, but if you have the time and money to scan the images at very high quality and resolution, that would be preferable.

Hi all,
I would add a point to the question of Flor.

Is there a minimum resolution in Commons to consider an image eligible for the cancellation?

The images which are part of this project are important for their descriptive aspects and can be useful to document some articles.

The question is important to know if there should be an additional step to rescan all images, or if we can reuse those already scanned for the website.

Kind regards

Hello!

I am in touch with a museum that is thinking of uploading images to Commons. They are a bit uncertain about uploading high resolution, but I told them the resolution they need to upload just needs to be good enough for illustrating articles without being pixellated. The thing is, I am unsure about the minimum size of such an image. I tried poking around the instructions but didn't find a direct answer.

Do you know which size is "the minimum" that can be accepted on Commons?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Warm wishes,
