Perhaps the Macra may come back one day, as it has been more than a thousand days since they were [[Gridlock|last on TV]], and you may get the picture with the highest quality, but in the mean time I think my picture from [[Series 3]] should be as the main image.

We are looking for an image to best illustrate the page. The original Macra is clearer, shows the entire creature and is the higher life form. I'm just reiterating here but you haven't stated anything that could justify changing it. The series three image is well placed below as it is directly in line with the information about that form. This means that the article is also better formatted in this way. I see that you agree it is a better image, so what exactly are you basing your point on? So far it seems your just demanding it because '''you''' want it. As with the slider you proposed, you need to justify your demands. I'd be happy to read any reasons you have to change the image and look forward to doing so. :)----<u>[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small></u> 15:16, June 12, 2011 (UTC) | |||

Take speculation to The Howling, our general discussion forum. Messages not having to do with the improvement of the article may be deleted.
main Image
I think the infobox image should be the original Macra for several season. For starters, it is a better image. Its clear and features the entire creature. The new Macra image, and all images of that variant, are unclear and feature only a portion of the full creature. From a real world viewpoint, the Macra of old are a higher lifeform.
The only reason given as to why anybody wants this new image is that it's the latest. This is not a valid reason. Quality and relation to the topic should always out weight such factors. Does the Tenth Doctor page feature the Doctor from The End of Time? The latest image should not be placed before an image with a high quality. It's not even as it the image won't appear, It's just slightly down the page near its appropriate information about the lesser species, so being there allows it to be compared with when reading. Unless anyone can think of a valid reason, the old Macra image is the one that should stay.----Skittles the hog--Talk 10:12, June 11, 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, well, Skittles the hog, I think you're forgetting something. The Tenth Doctor hardly looks any different to what he looks like in The Fires of Pompeii to The End of Time, but the Macra here have changed, and improved (I mean in a real-world perspective, I'd be a completely stupid to say that in an in-universe perspective).
It may be better quality, but remember. This wiki is not looking for the best picture in the whole wide universe, it's just looking for a picture to illustrate the article.
Perhaps the Macra may come back one day, as it has been more than a thousand days since they were last on TV, and you may get the picture with the highest quality, but in the mean time I think my picture from Series 3 should be as the main image. Cortion 19:40, June 11, 2011 (UTC)
