Article photo consensus

Latest comment: 2 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

I want a vote & consensus on the photo for the article. While the Option A is official, and higher resolution, I believe, with the image being nearly 8 years old, as well as the changes in the look of Sullivan's appearance, especially with his hair going white, that the portrait no longer accurately represents Sullivan, thus I wish to replace it with Option B, which I believe would be better, especially for the purpose of an encyclopaedia. I also believe that a later photo is better for a sitting, serving Senator.

Option A
Option B

Official vote for Option D. Mycranthebigman of Alaska ^_^ 21:51, 4 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Personally prefer keeping Option A, aside from the hair going white, it doesn't look too different. I probably wouldn't have noticed if it hadn't been pointed out. Option D as a close second because B looks oddly stretched towards the right. SuperWIKI (talk) 20:23, 19 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

I support Option A, it looks more professional than the other three portraits. Furthermore, it is of higher quality than the other three. RandomUserGuy1738 (talk) 20:11, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

I motion to close the vote in favor of Option A ~ AlaskaGALT (talk) 13:04, 25 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I second the motion. SuperWIKI (talk) 13:23, 25 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I third the motion as it proves to be the best looking image of all 4 images HistorianL (talk) 15:15, 25 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
