Hi there; I saw your question on the Help Desk. Are you still interested in moving earlier sandbox history out of Alvin Powell and back into your sandbox? If so, I can do the history split for you; I've done all sorts of history merging and splitting in the past. Let me know if you still care. — TKD:: {talk} 12:16, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey Genius101. I personally think you need some more experience before RfA; namely, some recognized content (a GA/FA or two) and more participation in community discussions (RfA, XfD) would help. Nonetheless, it's great to see that you have some DYKs under your belt. I'm a bit short on time at the moment, so I wasn't able to fully review your contributions—perhaps an editor review would yield some useful criticism.

When resizing images, can you check to see that the resulting photo is not made so small that relative informative detail that the image is there to provide is getting lost?
That isn't to say that some of the images haven't needed to be downsized somewhat.
But I am concerned by examples like:
I am sure there are others: these were just the first two that I loked at.
Also, in general, note that WP is content to regard images less that 0.9 M pixels (ie the equivalent of 300 x 300) as being "low resolution". I see that you are resizing images to materially smaller than this. If you reduced only to the more standard 0.9 M pixels, you might find you were creating fewer problems; though some cases might still need (and appropriately be given) slightly higher resolution, for the reader still to be clearly able to make out detail that usefully furthers why we're including the image at all.
I'd be grateful, therefore, if you could review your recent image reductions, and check whether in some several cases you may not have overdone things. Jheald ( talk) 09:51, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
