Consensual review[edit]

File:VFPt_dipole_animation.gif[edit]

  • Nomination: Animation of electric and magnetic dipole. Note that the resolution is intentionally in Wikipedia thumb size to minimize bandwidth requirements. --Geek3 16:56, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
  • Review
  •  Support Good quality. --Poco a poco 20:47, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Intentional or not this fails the 2MP requirement for a quality image and is very clearly low quality. EoRdE6 01:46, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
  •  Oppose The rule is very clear: only .SVG files are exempt from the 2 megapixel minimum size requirement for QI.--Peulle 07:33, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
  •  Support good animation. The rule of 2MP is nonsense for animated gifs. What we are like to see more with more then 2MP??? --Alchemist-hp 10:42, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
@Alchemist-hp: what are you going to see? Higher resolution? Less aliasing? Less pixelation? The exact same benefits you get from a higher resolution photograph? It's no different, that's a poor argument. There is a reason GIFs are specifically included in the guideline. EoRdE6 14:05, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
  •  Support Alchemist is right.--Ermell 11:26, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
  •  Comment Guys, we've been over this: it doesn't matter whether it makes sense or not, we can't just decide to ignore the rules here in CR on a case by case basis. Non-.SVG images below 2MP are ineligible for nomination, that's just the way it is; this image has no business in CR.--Peulle 14:59, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - Rules are rules. -- Ikan Kekek 16:50, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
  •  Support This image was created using a phyton script and IMHO, the important here is the source code present in the image description. It's not a photography and more size in this case is not more information --The Photographer 14:55, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
  •  Comment - But the rule does not allow for exceptions. I suggest you propose a rule change. -- Ikan Kekek 17:52, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
  •  Comment In the past the 2-Mpixel-rule has never been applied for animations and/or videos. --Smial 19:22, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
  •  Comment That needs to be made explicit. -- Ikan Kekek 21:56, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
  •  Comment I am not against a rule change, but as long as the rule says what it says, we need to follow it.--Peulle 23:28, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
[I added] the rule, please, feel you free to change/improve this rule --The Photographer 19:06, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I do not demand 2 MPixels for an animated GIF, but 220*220px is really too small. Many wikipedias have nowadays a thumbnail standard size of 250 or 300 px width. Standard VGA (640*480px resp. 480*480px for square images) should be minimum. --Smial 19:30, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
  •  Support The rule of 2MP is nonsense for animated gifs. --Ralf Roletschek 21:51, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Per IK and others. --A.Savin 22:46, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
Total: 5 support (excluding the nominator), 5 oppose → Inconclusive result after 8 consensual review days   --Peulle 18:06, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
