Image of male lion

I feel that the old image was better than the new one, so I'm proposing that that change gets reverted. Any thoughts? Ive inserted it below. @LittleJerry Cyber the tiger🐯 (talk) 06:15, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose for the following reasons :

• The old image of the male lion has an extremely low resolution (1280 x 960 pixels) and is very old (2004)
• The old image of the lion is not very sharp and has very harsh shadows including on the lion face
• The old image is considered of so low quality that it was unanimously delisted from the Featured picture status in February 2024
• The new image is of much higher resolution (5168 × 3448 pixels), i.e. 14 times more pixels, allowing the animal to be seen in all its detail
• The new image has good lighting
• The new image presents the lion in the same position with whole body visible, but this time including the tail
• The new image was unanimously granted the Featured picture status with 24 votes in favor which means that it is considered one of the finest images
• The new picture presents a lion that is quite famous and many articles mention him (including BBC, Whashington Post, etc.) : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, etc.
• The new picture presents a behavior of the lion which has educational value : it is standing on top of a lava rock that allows it to have a clear view of its territory.

The only reason I can see to add back the old image inside the article (but not as the lead image) is because of it's mane. The old image could therefore be added to the "Mane" section of the article where it could eventualy be relevant. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 14:40, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

"particularly has a symbol" in lead should be changed to "particularly as a symbol" Driftin Soul (talk) 06:43, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
