Talk:Sydney/Macquarie Park

Banner Update

I feel the banner on this article is in need of an update. The picture we have now is a little dark and does not show the university lake in it's best light. Can I suggest we decide on a replacement? I have done a little bit of looking and found a few possible pictures however I am not sure if they meet the resolution/size requirements as I have no experience replacing banner). What do you guys think of my suggestions? Does any one have any other banner suggestions? --Justvagabonding (talk) 21:58, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Suggestions

1. A brighter picture of the university lake

2. Perhaps with a bit of cropping we could use this picture of the Lane Cove River

3. Clarks Point Reserve in Woolwich

Possibly suggestion number 1. I actually live in the area and I'm hard pressed to think of any scene that would be representative :) --Andrewssi2 (talk) 06:48, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Yeah its funny Andrewssi2, the Macquarie region is quite diverse, there is the Hunters Hill peninsula, the suburbs in the north west, and the technology park in the north east so I don't think there is one photo that is going to capture it all. I guess what I was hoping to do with this update was at least improve the quality of the photo. The current banner is a bit dark and I don't think it invites the traveller to come out and explore the area. I would be happy with picture #1 as well so I have uploaded it. --Justvagabonding (talk) 17:13, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Justvagabonding , sorry to get back to you late on this. In fact image 1 is unfortunately way too small at 799 pixels wide. It needs to be at least 2100 pixels wide (although 1800 can be used sometimes). I'll look for an alternative. --Andrewssi2 (talk) 19:21, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Okay great, the one I uploaded looks okay in my eyes however I only have a small laptop so this may be the reason. --Justvagabonding (talk) 21:58, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

The reason was "poor low resolution image". I voted for speedy keep. If not, I'll see if I have any photos of this place. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 01:19, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
