 ::: I agree the 'left facing profile' for photos should be more of a guideline than a rule. If no good photos exist, only then should other options be put on the table. [[User:FractalDoctor|Fractal Doctor]] [[User talk:FractalDoctor|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 15:34, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
+I agree with pretty much everything that's suggested here. Insiting on these "extreme close up" images, or limiting the file size in this extreme manner, strikes me as rather arbitrary. On ''Stranger Things Wiki'', we generally use images with greater height than width, to create a portrait-like effect, while showing something like 25 to 70% of the character's clothing, figure, posture, body, etc. Here are some examples: [https://strangerthings.fandom.com/wiki/Eleven Eleven], [https://strangerthings.fandom.com/wiki/Martin_Brenner Brenner], [https://strangerthings.fandom.com/wiki/Vecna Vecna].
+I will say, that at their best, the horizontal close-ups can create an interesting aesthetic all of their own (but only when the images are of good quality). Infobox size also ought to be discussed/decided upon - using portrait-style images in turn make the infoboxes much, much larger, they have a greater impact. Whether that would be a welcome or unwanted change, that'd be up for the community to decide.  [[User:TheGreatGabester|TheGreatGabester]] [[User talk:TheGreatGabester|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 20:10, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
