Is there a similar app for iOS? A quick search there shows up mostly Wikipedia

Is the image actually too big for MediaWiki to handle, or just too
big for the maximum file upload size as currently set? Are there
limiting factors within the Mediawiki software or the image tools
that it uses that prevent rescaling of large images for online viewing?

The Hunterian have just released a mini-podcast about Britain Loves
Wikipedia - you can see it at:

We also have lots of events coming up in the next
on Commons is that we do not accept such
images.
