Minor Suggestion[edit source | reply | new]

The 'before' picture was actually taken when Whitney had mild ME.
Perhaps substitute it with a true 'before' picture?

Sounds good, although I don't have one. I did the editing using existing images already on the wiki.
I think it would be helpful to edit the one of Whitney wearing ear defenders - it's too dark to really make sense of the image - there's not enough contrast so it just looks brown (especially on a small screen).

I found a true 'before' picture, already uploaded by Kmdenmark. I made it 300px so it was the same size as the after pic.
I'm not sure in which picture he is wearing ear defenders, but the 'after' pic sure looks pretty low resolution compared to the before pic.
There is another 'after' pic already uploaded. This one is higher resolution, but is not as viscerally graphic as the current 'after' pic: Whitney Dafoe - after illness.png

The "before" image of Whitney just looks copied from the website mentioned in the file description. If anyone knows his parents or wants to tweet them (Janet Dafoe & Ron Davies) perhaps they have another that could be used.
Here's the picture that's too dark, it's the one used when the main page is shared

I've asked some of the other editors elsewhere about this - I'm reluctant to change such a heavily used image. notjusttired (talk) 17:32, 28 February 2019 (EST)
