Template:Edit extended-protected The word 're-elected' should be changed to 're-appointed' in last line of 1st paragraph, as the Prime Minister of India is appointed by the president. Riteze (talk) 09:59, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

It is mentioned in Constitution of India's article 75(1) on page 34. Riteze (talk) 10:34, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

RS use the word "re-elected" Rainsage (talk) 08:31, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

@Rainsage An official publication should be treated as more reliable source than opinion of an editor. Riteze (talk) 17:24, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Both words are used in RS. See the Prime Minister of India article for example. it can stay as is. Rainsage (talk) 11:25, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

RfC: What image should be used in the infobox?

User:ClueBot III/DoNotArchiveUntil Template:Closed rfc top Which of the following images should be used in the infobox, as the portrait of Manmohan Singh? EarthDude (talk) 09:46, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

  Option 1
• Option 2
  Option 2

• I believe we should use Option 1 instead of Option 2, since the latter seems to be of much lower quality than the first. I didn't wanna edit war so I am thus beginning this discussion. Furthermore, I think that the Cropped version given by TansoShoshen is ideal. EarthDude (talk) 09:49, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
• Both the files are good to use.-25 CENTS VICTORIOUS ^🍁 09:49, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

  I want to see whether the consensus leans on the first or the second image EarthDude (talk) 09:51, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

• File:Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh in March 2014.jpg

  I find the one to the right better - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:52, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

  This third one by Fylindfotberserk appears comparatively better among all three in terms of area of exposure and contrast between cloth and skin. Riteze (talk) 23:48, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

  This one is better than the other two option.-25 CENTS VICTORIOUS ^🍁 14:45, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

• Option 1 Better in quality and I see no issues about it. Not sure why there's this image issue now when option 1 was the infobox image for a bit of time without fuss. I'm strongly opposed to the third option as it's not an official portrait. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 13:39, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

  Do we have a policy per which the IB image should be an official portrait? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:15, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

  I think it's more of following a precedent, especially when the subject is no longer in office and/or is deceased. Look at Obama, Clinton, Bushes, Reagan, Carter, Blair, Gordon Brown, Cameron, Lula, etc. If an official portrait is available and in good quality, we should use it over candid pics. This I think is also in the case when the subject is deceased since the argument of "using a recent picture" would no longer apply as for deceased celebrities/politicians/athletes, etc. the images used on their IB's are pics depicting them either younger, in their prime (in this case while they held office) or a black and white pick. I think for Singh's case, it makes sense to use an official portrait since it's in good quality, follows precedent with other wiki articles that have official portraits available and I honestly don't see the issue in using either official portrait (1 or 2), however I have a preference for 1 due to quality. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 07:01, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

  Fair enough. In that case Option 1 for me. It was also the IB image when the article got selected for ITN. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:22, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

• File:Official Portrait of the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh (3x4 cropped).jpg

  Option 1: But I would prefer this crop. My opinon is that we should use official portraits where not noticeably inferior. TansoShoshen (talk) 05:24, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

  This cropped version by TansoShoshen is looking better, may be used. Riteze (talk) 08:16, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

  Looks pretty good. I'd say this cropped version is the best looking EarthDude (talk) 14:11, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

  Option 1, preferably the cropped version. JohnLaurens333 (need something?) 00:36, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

• You should choose option1 as to my mind from Indian perspective, option does not do the justice to his serious and no-nonsensical personality. Mayla23 (talk) 14:51, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
• Both the photos have been used in official pages. While Option 1 appears as an official portrait of the PM[1] the latter appears also on the page managed by the Prime Minister's office. Both photos are during Dr. Manmohan's term as Prime Minister of India, his most significant accomplishment. The choice then rests with which is the better image per se. While many hear have argued for Option 1, because it has a higher resolution, it is also a fact that at the size it will portrayed in Wikipedia, Option 1 is much darker. Option 2, shows the whole face much more clear. So my vote is for Option 2. Rigorousmortal (talk) 17:15, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
• Option 1, the cropped version which TansoShoshen commented, is the best image. The face is straight looking at the photographer and the contrast is good. TarnishedPath^talk 08:42, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
