Would the page benefit from a comparison between a Mercator and a Miller projection?
An image could convey this by placing a Mercator and a Miller projection side-by-side centered along the equator.

I will be replacing images on the various map projection pages. Presently many are on a satellite composite image from NASA that, while realistic, poorly demonstrates the projections because of dark color and low contrast. I have created a stylization of the same data with much brighter water areas and a light graticule to contrast. See the thumbnail of the example from another article. Some images on some pages are acceptable but differ stylistically from most articles; I will replace these also.
The images will be high resolution and antialiased, with 15° graticules for world projections, red, translucent equator, red tropics, and blue polar circles.
Please discuss agreement or objections
over here (not this page). I intend to start these replacements on 13 August. Thank you.

The dimensions of the projection are:
or approximately 1.3639:1 in aspect ratio
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Miller projection SW.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on October 19, 2016. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2016-10-19. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich ( talk) 23:33, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
Very odd to revert a simple Manual of Style edit with the edit summary "It's not" when the article itself explicitly states:

According to http://epsg.io/54003 (which is a good reference BTW ;-)), the name is ESRI:54003, not EPSG:54003.
Update and give as reference?
