Reverted[edit]

I decided to revert this file back to the first version because:

  1. It's a higher quality image.
  2. It clearly shows the NPC's face and complete model.
  3. It shows the NPC's unique, permanent aura effect.
  4. It shows the NPC's battle stance, which allows its armor/weapon to be seen more clearly.

The aura and battle stance would be a separate picture and the previous image showed the complete model. If a higher quality image is desired, someone can upload it rather than a reversion.--Relyk ~ talk < 19:04, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
Why would the battle stance and aura be a separate picture? That makes absolutely no sense. The first file is a more complete image of the NPC. It shows the NPC's battle stance, aura (which he's always seen with), and weapon without compromising quality/lighting or getting a full/clear shot of the model, armor, and face. Also, if you don't understand the reason for a page being reverted it's better to simply ask in the discussion section. Immediately undoing the reversion without any clarification just clutters up the page's/file's history.

Why are you so keen on the battle stance and aura? We can get a picture without either, which is standard for every other NPC article on the wiki. No, if I or someone wouldn't understand the reason for reversion, you either provide a reason for reversion or discuss on the talk page first. Reverting without a reason doesn't give an opportunity for discussion and encourages conflict. There was already discussion taking place, albeit on another talk page.--Relyk ~ talk < 19:23, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
Honestly, I didn't include the reasons for the reversion first because it seemed obvious that one was necessary. There was nothing wrong with the first image and there was no reason to replace it to begin with. Also, it was only replaced with images that were worse. I'm "keen" on the battle stance and aura because it shows more of the NPC, like I just said. Why would you want an NPC's image to be less-complete?

Alright, I don't see what's bad with the most-MOST-recent one that Relyk just put up. It has the staff visible, it's full-body and the whole character looks good. --Ventriloquist (talk) 19:42, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
I just don't understand why anyone felt the need to upload so many new files when the first one was perfectly fine. Look at how cluttered the file history is now. :/

I think Rakuin's is the best. It has the best lighting and details. If you could get staff and aura with that level of detail and lighting, I probably wouldn't care either way. As for the reverts (it's not a policy here, but it's a good place to start) reverting a revert can lead to bad things (like this situation). So, Relyk, if you wanted to revert, you should probably have pointed out that discussion first or started this one. --JonTheMon (talk) 19:57, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
I don't really think it's better than the first one, but if everyone's dead-set on it then I guess that's that. Please fix the cropping though, it's really uneven.

Hi guys. What's going on? I know this is totally the most important thing on the wiki atm but I think you are over doing it =D My favorites are the very first one and my own one, but the current one will do if, like Somo said, the cropping is fixed. Bloody brat is in italics and it's kinda confusing. Rakuin (talk) 20:21, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
Scratch that, I'll see if I can do anything to the first pic Relyk uploaded. It's nice but really dark. Rakuin (talk) 20:32, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
The problem with that image is the angle, not the lighting. :(
-Somohexual (talk) 20:35, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
I reverted because he didn't give a reason and was going to link to the other discussion before Somohexual posted. It doesn't matter now.--Relyk ~ talk < 00:41, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Hmm. It's not TOO bad on that one imo, he just looks threatening which is appropriate. But whatever, yours and mine are still my favorites. Rakuin (talk) 20:49, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

I fixed the latest one. Rotated it a tad so it's not crooked, cropped it more evenly and added just a little bit of contrast. Are we set now? Rakuin (talk) 11:28, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
Well, I like it. Don't know about everyone else. Hopefully we can put this photo massacre behind us now. --Ventriloquist (talk) 11:46, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
Hm. Looks like Bloody Prince brings massacre everywhere he goes. =3 Derp. I just noticed I do have a pic where he has his staff, same quality as the other I posted. But it's not drawn out so no cool effect. I have no intent to mess with this anymore, I just feel silly now. Rakuin (talk) 12:42, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
