• Minor side comment: I have templated the image as distorted on Commons; it should be fixed before going up. HLHJ (talk) 20:03, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

• @HLHJ: Thanks for the heads-up. I have no idea how to do that, however. MX (✉ • ✎) 21:28, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Some people have tools for it on Commons, and will probably fix without your intervention; if you're getting queued and it's still a problem, ping me and I'll figure it out. HLHJ (talk) 21:54, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
