Edit summaries
Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thanks, and happy editing.
Hi there,
I reverted your changes to File:Gumby.png and File:Gumbys-present-architects-sketch.jpg. Unfortunately, this didn't increase the amount of detail (upscaling generally doesn't and simply magnifies lack of resolution). Since it's possible to dynamically resize images via the thumbnail width (which I notice you later discovered anyway), it's not necessary- WP can upscale on the fly without modifying the originals!
BTW, I deliberately converted the images to a small size before uploading as they were
fair use
rather than free. Maybe they could have been a bit bigger, but not much :-)

To be honest, I've checked and I might be wrong- it doesn't seem possible to dynamically upscale a thumbnail image beyond its native resolution, only to downscale it (i.e. make it smaller). So I'm happy for you to scale them up if you want. I might replace them with higher res versions if I have time, though not by much, as they're still fair use. All the best.
