Alternative banner for this article?
[edit]
- We generally avoid close-ups of people, but the new banner is more interesting. Ground Zero (talk) 19:15, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- I agree, but it looks like it has a cylindrical projection, which makes it a view that could never be seen with the naked eye. Am I right? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:27, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Wide-angle view is not preferrable to represent a destination. Neither is close-ups of people. /Yvwv (talk) 14:43, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Two more suggestions: Ground Zero (talk) 17:13, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- I'll point out that #3 also looks like a cylindrical projection of some kind, but I'm going to rely on all of you to make the choice of banner. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:01, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- I don't understand the objection to cylindrical projections. I don't think that is a policy. I think that the existing banner is awful, and prefer any of 2, 3 or 4 to it. 3 is my preferred choice. Those who don't like the choices so far are welcome to propose alternatives. Ground Zero (talk) 23:19, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- I think they're questionable because they show a view that can't be seen with the naked eye. Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:18, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- I don't see a problem with that as a cylindrical projection can sometimes give a better overall impression than a true-to-life projection. Ground Zero (talk) 00:59, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- That would be the advantage, yes. I just think it's worth a discussion. Banner #2 looks way more distorted than #3, on the face of it (not knowing the city). Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:11, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
