::::::::I gotta say, while it's attractive work, it's not historically accurate. If you flip back and forth between the images, this becomes plain. I think it's better to see no information than false information. We're supposed to be making an encyclopedia... a reliable encyclopedia. I'm not really liking this. – [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta#top|talk]]) 20:03, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

:::::::::If you want to argue these points further it does NOT go in the request sections it goes on the discussion page. [[User:Penyulap|'''Penyulap''']][[User talk:Penyulap| ☏]] 20:14, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

::::Re cropping, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it. There's some room to do so. Here is a [http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/8173/1280pxsailorsofminasger.jpg quick mockup] of a cropped and edited image. The benefit is a whole lot less area to fill in... and the area you do fill in is less obvious. – [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta#top|talk]]) 17:17, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
