Minor aesthetic question here.  It's standard practice to scale images down to 250px in, for example, [[:Template:Infobox Individual]].  However, should that also apply to scaling up images which are smaller than 250px wide, despite the quality loss?  Compare [http://tardis.wikia.com/index.php?title=Dracula&oldid=379454 this] and [http://tardis.wikia.com/index.php?title=Dracula&oldid=337417 this].  Thoughts?

:Preferably a higher res image should be found. Practically though, it's a stylistic choice. 250px is the standard, but given the small amount of information on the article scaling the image up doesn't really add to the article. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 14:10, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Minor aesthetic question here. It's standard practice to scale images down to 250px in, for example, Template:Infobox Individual. However, should that also apply to scaling up images which are smaller than 250px wide, despite the quality loss? Compare this and this. Thoughts? Rob T Firefly 00:10, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Preferably a higher res image should be found. Practically though, it's a stylistic choice. 250px is the standard, but given the small amount of information on the article scaling the image up doesn't really add to the article. --Tangerineduel 14:10, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
