Forum:File maintenance GECK images

I had brought up the subject a while ago about whether in-game screenshots were preferred to GECK images in articles. I've run across this most notably in the file maintenance project, especially the Operation: Anchorage images. Since not many people gave their opinion on the matter, I'm not sure what to do in regards to 'passing' the transparent images. For the time being I have added the descriptions and whatnot to the GECK images anyway but have not passed them because I didn't know if anyone would have a problem with them. Some people said only certain images should be transparent, etc. Personally I have no opinion on the matter. If everyone decided in-game pictures were better I don't own a PC so I can't really do anything about remedying the situation. I personally would pass the images, but from the previous (short) conversation about the matter, I'm hesitant for now. So I'm posting this to get a final opinion on the matter. 19:02, June 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, truth be told I don't mind either way. I like transparent images for items and creatures but prefer "in-dialogue" shots for named characters; generic chars/enemies are neither here nor there. I guess most of the transparent character images simply exist because they're easier to create than an ingame shot for characters you cannot initiate dialogue with, or because the character they depict only appears in certain circumstances ingame (random encounter chars etc). Those are the reasons for most of the transparent NPC images I've uploaded anyway :) -- Porter21 (talk) 07:22, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Since it doesn't appear that anyone has a big problem with them, I think I'm going to start marking them as okay for the sake of the file maintenance project. I think it'd be more work than it was worth to replace all of the transparent ones with in-game shots. If anyone decides they don't like the transparent ones I'll just uncheck the 'passed' column. 04:51, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
