When it matters, I play around with the thumbnail sizes until I get a reasonable result. The auto-generated thumbnails for this picture for instance look acceptable to me at 300px (50%) or 270px (45%). And when it ''really'' matters, I'd just do what you did and produce a manual thumbnail.

I have replaced the picture of Black-winged stilts in flight with one that shows a lot more detail. The new picture was taken in Rajasthan, across the country from Kolkata. The birds, however, look pretty similar so I see no reason to keep the older picture. See comparison below:

==Range==
My book gives the southern breeding limit of Black-necked Stilt as southern Chile, S Argentina and the West Indies. Is there a split I don't know about, or is the range just wrong? If the latter, the "where to see bit becomes very parochial". [[User:Jimfbleak|jimfbleak]] 06:35, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Very confusing page. The range map is for stilts generally, but the page is for one species. The map had me wondering why I'd never seen one. Well, because they're N American vagrants. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2601:2C6:4300:6EE0:9C08:E030:3F08:26BB|2601:2C6:4300:6EE0:9C08:E030:3F08:26BB]] ([[User talk:2601:2C6:4300:6EE0:9C08:E030:3F08:26BB#top|talk]]) 00:03, 20 January 2022 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:Aha, as far as I recall, there is some difference of opinion over how many taxa should be included under this speices or split out. Not sure where we're up to with it. Worth fleshing out though.

== "It is widely distributed" ==
Does that mean worldwide and if so where? Or is it just limited to Thailand? [[User:Simply south|Simply]][[User talk:Simply south| south]]....[[User:Simply south/Poem|..]] ''catching SNOWballs for just 6 years'' 12:24, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
:The article's a bit of a mess, but the main text clarifies the distribution. Exactly how widely depends on the view taken as to whther the American and NZ forms are subspecies or full species <b style="font-family:chiller; color:red;">[[User:Jimfbleak|<span style="color:red;">Jimfbleak</span>]] - </b>[[User talk:Jimfbleak|<span style="font-family:arial; color:green;"> talk to me?</span>]] 16:11, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
