This should be redirected to either beer stein or tankard (or possibly renamed to beer mug). Personally, I think it would best be covered under beer stein (with some edits to the lead of that article). Other opinions? Kaldari ( talk) 18:28, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
What does the comment "already upright" in the change log mean? Is there a good reason for overriding the user's image size settings? Why would that reason apply to one image but not the other? Kendall-K1 ( talk) 20:51, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
I did exactly as you specified and nothing changed at this page. I resized my default image to 120px, came back, and the images all remained exactly as they had been.
As I say, I'm listening to you but I'm not "seeing it". Images automatically scale themselves to screen size on devices I use, and remain proportional when zooming in or out using either Internet Explorer or Google Chrome as a browser.
I know of users here with hundreds of thousands of edits who alter images even to irregular pixel sizes (such as 247px, rather than 250px) if that's what it takes to get one to conform to the size of others on a page. Perhaps they are inexperienced at this nuance; on the other hand, I simply cannot get images to act the way you are explaining, and cautioning. They act as I have now twice depicted. Yours, Wikiuser100 ( talk) 00:45, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
This WP policy explains the situation better than I can:
WP:IMGSIZE. "Except with very good reason, do not use px
(e.g. thumb|300px
),
which forces a fixed image width."

"According to physicist Erich Schuller of the Institute for Forensic Medicine at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, a Maßkrug is an "effective percussion tool" in which each strike is potentially life-threatening. An empty Maß weighs 1.3 kilograms (2.9 lb) and can produce a force of 8,500 newtons (1,900 lbf) in a violent blow, far surpassing the 4,000 newtons (900 lbf) required to break a human's skullcap. However, there were cases in which the Maßkrug yielded. Presumably, these mugs had reduced strength due to wear."
This paragraph is pointless and useless.

The part in bold is surely incorrect: "This vessel is often referred to as a beer mug by English speakers, and can be correctly called a beer stein only if it is made of stoneware and capable of holding a regulation Maß of beer."
A "stein" does not need to conform to Maß regulations in order to be called a stein. I'm sure it's the other way around: a stein is only a Maß if it does. McGordon 21:48, 17 June 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcgordon ( talk • contribs)
