Infobox image - round two
In the past, there was a (very) brief discussion about changing the infobox image for the Second Doctor, but a change was never made. I agree with User:OttselSpy25's argument that it's not the best image per policy, so I'm starting a new round of discussion.
I've found a few images that potentially could be used for the infobox, but I encourage anyone to try and find mere suitable ones as well. Out of these, my favorite is #4. It just encompasses Two's personality the best. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 16:12, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
Current image (#1).
User:OttselSpy25's old proposal (#2).
(#3) (OncomingStorm12th)
(#4) (OncomingStorm12th)
(#5) (OncomingStorm12th)
(#6) (User:Scrooge MacDuck)
- All valid choices. I've added a suggestion of my own, #6, from The Evil of the Daleks's iconic "I will not be your slave!" scene. Though he might be remembered as 'the Clown', I think the more worried look is actually closer to the usual tone of Troughton's Doctor in his own era. Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 16:29, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- #4 is my favourite too, but I would also be happy with #2 or #3. LauraBatham ☎ 03:37, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- 4 > 3 > 2 > 6 > 5 >1 NoNotTheMemes ☎ 23:39, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- So it seems that, since 2021, nothing has changed here. That works out well, because I actually think I have a better crop of images to choose from. We've had higher quality scans of a few episodes that are more easily available and a change in our image policies, so it makes sense to start from scratch. Compare:
Current image
- 1 - B&W
- 2 - Color
- 3 - OS25
- If we're not going to use an image from The Three Doctors (a decision I myself am unsure about), I think #1 is very obviously the image we should use. Feel free to add other options or otherwise voice your opinion. NoNotTheMemes ☎ 06:46, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- I really like this #1. Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 01:35, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
- While I like your old suggestion (which is now #3), I feel that #1 better encompasses Troughton's performance and character.
