@ Ab207 TOI says 65 ft in 2019 [1], while Indian Express says 66 [2] and The Hindu says 61 [3]. I think 66 is the correct one? — DaxServer ( t · c) 15:41, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
I read in an article yesterday that the location of the first idol is now a small temple. I forgot what the article is. — DaxServer ( t · c) 12:49, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

5x expanded by Ab207 ( talk) and DaxServer ( talk). Nominated by Ab207 ( talk) at 20:21, 23 February 2022 (UTC).
A 5x expansion was accomplished on the date of the nomination. No close paraphrasing was found. I think ALT0 may have somewhat internationally broader appeal and is also a more interesting hook in general; it is verified in the source and is cited inline. No QPQ is needed here. Both images are fine but I think the 2021 image is slightly more clear. My only concern is the sentence
During the same time, the organizing committee announced their plans to build 70-foot eco-friendly Ganesh idol made out of clay in 2022
: I'm not sure if the article should instead say "plans to build a 70-foot", please clarify if "plans to build 70-foot" (without the "a") is correct in Indian English.

@ DaxServer: I'm wondering why you use feet as the primary unit for this article when India is a metric country and MOS:UNIT would require SI units primary? Avi8tor ( talk) 20:32, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
Here are three examples of the same place with different areas of the supposedly same mosaic in an 8th century Palace near Jericho.
The picture from AP news shows 827 m2, conveniently close to 8900 ft2. The second is in the text below the picture where it becomes 930 m2 (10000 ft2). You have to hover over the picture or click on it to see the text. https://apnews.com/article/lifestyle-middle-east-travel-israel-west-bank-2407e36f6e4302f2670798720008a457
Looking at Wikipedia /info/en/?search=Hisham%27s_Palace it’s 836 m2 (8998 ft2). The source here is from the Guardian in the UK with the source as Agence France Press (AFP). https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/oct/28/huge-restored-mosaic-unveiled-in-jericho-desert-castle So which one is accurate? It seems possible the earlier text on the picture of 827 m2 but conveniently rounded to a nice round number in the latter two examples. Avi8tor ( talk) 06:33, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
"Peak Height" seem to suggest the sources differ: Yes, sources do differ but only in terms of feet.
Should the height of the image be listed with feet as the primary units, or with meters as the primary units? (The other system of units will be given as secondary.)
Please enter Feet or Meters in the Survey, followed by a brief statement. Please do not respond to other entries in the Survey. Back-and-forth discussion is permitted in the Discussion section; that's what it's for. Robert McClenon ( talk) 04:57, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
