Community talk:The Midna Art Debate

The debate that was on this talk page has been moved to the main page of this article (The Midna Art Debate).--Mjr162006 05:04, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, uh, quick question here: How does allowing the Wiki to use fan art show that Zelda Wiki is "taking a leadership role"? The discussion was moved before I was able to ask there. (Or if I totally just misinterpreted it.) --Ando 03:50, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Saying no to fan-art would not be good thing. Most other wikis avoid using it just because everyone does. By using high quality fan art to fill in the position of official art,where this official art is, well, a total piece of crap. We are aiming for excellence. Do we shun talented artist only because they did not help make the game? No we don't. There will definitely be fan artists out there that are just as talented or more so than the game artists. By letting their work in we are taking the lead on road to excellence. But it is important that the wiki does not become a repository of fan art. This is what everyone has on their mind when they say they don't want fan art on the wiki. Well, people. When did you forget that WE ARE NOT AN IMAGE HOSTING SERVICE. That will never be tolerated. With so many responsible people at the helm, this will NEVER HAPPEN. So there is no need to fear it. So we must take the brave first steps into the bright future. Yes we have more responsibility to handle. But, if you are like me, you should all welcome the challenge!--Mjr162006 04:33, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Gosh, you sound like some kind of radical "SAY 'YES' TO FAN ART" person. :P But whatever; I may still not agree with new "policy" (I'm stubborn like that), but obviously majority rules, and in this case it seems to be the overwhelming majority (or maybe you just seem like ten people? ;). So... thanks for the clarification. --Ando 04:37, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, it really comes from the lack quality official materials. There really is no other source. So I think that using material from talented artists is preferable to just sitting on our butts and leaving crap, or nothing at all, there instead.--Mjr162006 04:42, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I was thinking that I was about... 10.17221968 people. :P Someone remind me to join the debate team at college this year. ^_^ --Mjr162006 04:45, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Ha! Ha! Ohh, I made a big funny without trying. "preferable to just sitting on our butts and leaving crap". Hahaha. That was unintentional. But my side really hurts now. :P:P^_^:P:P!!! Sorry about that one. :)--Mjr162006 04:58, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

XD I didn't even notice that until you mentioned it. I had just read it as it was intended, but now that you say that... ohhh man, that's hilarious! :D HOORAY FOR SLEEP DEPRIVATION --Ando 05:16, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Crap. My hand was hurting from all the template sorting. Now my side is going to hurt for the rest of the week. I'm still laughing.XD--Mjr162006 05:22, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

The comments above really clarify the issue. I'll copy them over, leaving the originals here. PS: My side still hurts, alot! XD--Mjr162006 05:50, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Use the Image
I've just had a breakthrough. We have identified exactly what this image is. It is a model ripped directly from the game that was set in a generic pose that accents the features. But we're still not using in on the page. We're still labeling it as fan-art. Well what would you all say if I told you that we are already using images identical in design to this one? Well, we are using them. A lot of them. Here they are: That is about every major character and boss in Twilight Princess. They all are models ripped directly from the game and set in a generic pose! Every single one. Now recall what this image of Minda is: A model ripped directly from the game and set in a generic pose. They are all exactly the same thing, even the Midna one! If we don't let the Midna image on its character page, then we would have to remove every single image listed above. That would make the quality of our Twilight Princess character pages plummet. Use the Minda image on the Midna page. It is not fan-art. No "if"s, "or"s, "and"s, or "but"s about. It is just a game model just like the thirty-four images above.--Mjr162006 22:42, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
