These images were uploaded in the JPEG format even though they contain non-photographic information. It is suggested that the original sources be revisited and that a PNG or SVG file without compression artifacts be uploaded in their places. For more information, see Wikipedia:Preparing images for upload. Images can be added to this category by placing the {{Bad JPEG}} template on the image description page. Computer and video game screenshots should be tagged with {{Should be PNG}}. Note: If the image is copyrighted, it should not be rendered any larger than is required for the purposes of identification and/or critical commentary.
