Quality of the third image in the opening section

Latest comment: 2 months ago3 comments2 people in discussion

In the opening section of the article, there is a picture of people going to a prom, corsages worn at one, and then a picture of a prom itself. The first two are of a good quality, but the latter is 17 years old and quite blurry. While it still suffices to demonstrate what a prom dance may look like, it would probably be slightly better to have a picture that included people actually dancing/sitting at tables, and then there's the obvious fact that the picture quality could be immensely better. In general, does anyone else agree that this image should be replaced with one of a higher quality, and is anyone capable of procuring a replacement?

Do you have a picture you would like to replace it with? Nerd271 (talk) 20:40, 11 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

No; I had prom about a month ago and first came to the Wikipedia page afterwards. I could obtain one next year, but if anyone already has one, it would be optimal to use that. Deeb1324354657 (talk) 04:24, 16 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
