| == "Unused" images (continued) ==
| | ---- |
| | |
| What is it with both you and [[user:Skittles the hog|Skittles]]? Today, you've both archived pages while you were in the middle of conversation with me, leading to an edit conflict because of archiving. You could've at least left the open discussion thread on the new page so the conversation flow wasn't interrupted.
| |
| | |
| But anyway, yeah, let's make it a full week. So on Sunday, you delete the old and markup the new. Or if you'd like, I can take care of deletion with the bot, which'll be quicker. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''18:29:48 Fri '''15 Apr 2011 </span>
| |
| :full week, if you would, please. Sunday to Sunday. In fact, why not just let me delete them, since it'll literally take me 30 seconds, where it might take you several minutes. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''18:41:50 Fri '''15 Apr 2011 </span>
| |
| | |
| ==Duplicates: things to consider==
| |
| On the matter of duplicates, please be careful. A cropped image isn't a duplicate. For instance, you called [[:file:Cleanup.jpg]] and [[:file:Cleanup2.jpg]] duplicates, and that's not true. There are good technical reasons why an editor might want Cleanup2 versus Cleanup. And, likewise, there are times where you want the widescreen dimensions of Cleanup. Also, you can tell from the colour balance that they ''aren't'' the same pic. They might have been taken from the same instant of ''Spearhead'', but they're not the same.
| |
| <gallery>
| |
| Cleanup.jpg|possibly from the VHS
| |
| Cleanup2.jpg|definitely from the DVD
| |
| </gallery>
| |
| Note the completely different orientation of the pics. I did the second version precisely because I needed something "longer", so that it would slide neatly down the left side of a template. You'll see me doing this sort of thing all the time, because there are occasions it's important to try to get an image to fit a precise space. (See, for instance, the remarkably difficult [[:file:TenThin.jpg]] and [[:file:TenThinner.jpg]].) You're going to find, I think, that we're going to get "thinner" versions of a lot of images, now that we can put pics in navboxes and the standard width for navbox pics is 85px. That width means that we ''cannot'' use images as they are; we have to specifically manufacture them. Same thing is true with top-of-page images like [[:File:Update200px.jpg]]. That pic comes from another one at full widescreen dimensions. But it had to be cut down to fit 200px. This means that there are two ''reasonably'' similar pics on the site, with perhaps even the same basic orientation, but for two totally different purposes.
| |
| ===Transparency===
| |
| Another thing to remember is the importance of transparency.
| |
| <gallery>
| |
| McDaidSketch.jpg
| |
| DanMcDaid10.png
| |
| </gallery>
| |
| Same pic, right? Not at all. The one on the left has McDaid's original background, whereas the one on the right is a transparency. Useful to have both; sometimes you need a transparent version of an image, sometimes you don't.
| |
| ==="File links" can be wrong===
| |
| With pages in the file namespace, a link on the file page is only displayed when it's normally referenced. That is, if you put the actual picture on a page, it shows up under "File links". If you just link to the ''name'', it doesn't. For instance, compare [[:file:McDaidSketch.jpg#File links]] with [[Special:WhatLinksHere/File:McDaidSketch.jpg]]. What you find is that there's one more link under "What Links Here" than there is under "File links". '''"File links" does not report instances where you link to the ''name'' of a file; it only reports places where the image is on display.'''
| |
| | |
| In other words, it's possible to have a file apparently having no links, when in fact there ''are'' links to it. In this case, the non-image-generating link is rather important, because it's a part of the copyright explanation for [[:file:ComicStub.png]].
| |
| | |
| Moral of the lesson is that ''only'' "What Links Here" gives an ''accurate'' report of whether there are any links to the file.
| |
| ===Summary===
| |
| "Duplicate" means ''exact duplicate'' (or something so close to exact as to make no odds). The two pairs of pictures are just the tip of the iceberg of similar versions that should be allowed to remain on the site. Check the dimensions, check the colour balance, check the "What Links Here" before even ''proposing'' deletion. We ''should'' be getting rid of true duplicates (as listed at [[Tardis:duplicate images]]). But we should exercise extreme caution when getting rid different ''versions'' of the same image. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''18:29:48 Fri '''15 Apr 2011 </span>

| == Series 6 trailer removal ==
| |
| | |
| I see that you removed the series 6 trailer that was on [[Series 6 (Doctor Who)]], citing the reasons that it "mucked up format". Well, that's a fairly weak rationale, since the series pages largely have no format. They will, eventually, but they certainly don't now. Unless you count centering a logo at the top of the page a "format". I definitely agree that it was in a bad place — why Ghastly would have buried it in the middle of a sentence and set it at 300px — is beyond me. These pages are missing infoboxen, which is really where these trailers should probably go, but I don't see any particular harm in sliding them right under the logo on the right-hand side.
| |
| | |
| We need to remember that our [[tardis:video policy|video policy]] does in fact allow for videos released to YouTube by the copyright holders. Throwing such a video off the page, and suggesting that the user "put it on [their] user page", isn't in the spirit of that policy. Trailers are uniquely appropriate descriptors of a story or a season, so we should use them where legally available. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''17:01:33 Sat '''16 Apr 2011 </span>

| Well, on the flip side, why didn't you go to the talkpage earlier, instead of ignoring me? If there is a disagreement, then the arguers are to go to the TP. You are disputing my edit, so you are go to the TP to discuss the issue, right? --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:blue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 19:20, April 18, 2011 (UTC)

| Did you read the page? He clearly states his thoughts that I am a dick. That's profanity, which is against the [[Tardis:No personal attacks]] policy. You can clearly see this on the forum link above on his latest post. I think its such an obvious act that it doesn't really need a third party view, however I accept that your opinion may differ and so apologise if you think I'm being unfair. The user is clearly aggressive. Nearly all his posts include such profanity and he then aimed it at me. Bit over the line in my opinion.
