Please read WP:MOS#Images - images should not have pixel sizes set, except in exceptional circumstances. It is especially important for FA standard articles, which need to comply with the Wikipedia manual of Style. I suggest you take a look at images on other similar articles such as United States, Indonesia, Australia, etc. Your point about the article size is completely spurious, the difference in size is extremely minor. Your point about ruining the visual style is wrong, it is improving the visual style for the reasons provided at WP:MOS#Images. (Caniago 10:18, 23 September 2007 (UTC))

It's your personal opinion, but I respect it, despite the fact that I disagree. For instance, the Second Cairo Conference image looks ridiculously tiny. Not worth for such a minor size difference. Patrick Sanders 10:28, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

The aim of this is not to reduce the size of the article. The aim is to ensure the images are optimally sized for the widest range of users, each of who may have different screen sizes and web browsers. Leaving images at the default size allows Wikipedia to size images based upon the user's screen size and their image size preferences. If you want the images to be larger, the correct way of achieving this is to change your default image size preferences for your Wikipedia account (Special:Preferences).
