Thanks Andy! +1 to what Dmitry said. Apart from what you brought up, in many articles maps show up as lead images. Maps that you can't interact with are a frustrating experience. This first leg of work on lead images improves 90% of the articles. Getting everything 100% right just isn't possible with the large amount of unstructured information and annotation we have around images.
Once we introduce focal point repositioning for images as a micro-contribution, these weak areas start to get ironed out.
