Zelda Wiki:Featured Picture Nomination

= Currently nominated =

Phantom Hourglass scene

 * 1) A. I think it's a pretty cool picture and there hasn't been too many featured PH nominations yet!ZeldaGirl96 20:06, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) A: I gotta admit, I like this image a lot. 21:27, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) I love option A, its faded borders zooming in on the main characters is simply epic. 17:30, 16 August 2008 (EST)
 * 4) A, I have only played Phantom Hourglass at Best Buy but I think we need a picture from the most recennt game.  I also appreciate that Link's shield has the crayfish/lobster on it like his pajamas in Wind Waker.CoreyPotter 19:58, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) Option B would be a good picture to display. The cover of PH is quite nice, giving a good first impression of what to expect of the game. Angmar 07:10, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) Option A is really awesome. I was gonna accept with Angmar but then again out of five people only one person chose for the other picture (sorry Angmar). That is why I checked Option A and it did look much better. That is why I vote for Option A. Akki 18:05, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) '"A'". It not only is cool, but who wants a huge logo to break the scene?Dekuta 15:26, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Faron
This is the Light Spirit Faron. This a great image. This was made transparent by MARKOL. Excellent work. 01:12, October 3, 2008 (UTC)
 *  Important Notice: 
 * This nomination is an experiment in a new policy. It is intended as a replacement for the existing image Faron Art.jpg. If this image is voted in, the old one will automatically be disqualified and the new one will replace it on every single page that the old one was on, save for this one.

To truly see this image in its full glory, click on it to go to its page. It is much better there than this tiny preview here is.

IMPORTANT: We are in the process of updating this image to address certain issues that have been pointed. Please hold off voting until these updates are complete.


 * 1) Contrary to my original, withdrawn vote, after looking at the enlarged version of this picture I find that this picture is a very beautiful picture, much better than the original. The small version shown here may look very average, but it's anything but once clicked on. --Felicia&#39;s Champion 11:44, 10 October 2008 (UTC)


 *  COMMENTS 


 * OK, I can't vote either way on this. While I love the new image, and disliked the background of the old one, my problem is that the new render isn't true to the original. My favourite part of this image (and all the light spirits) was the shafts of light radiating outwards from the sphere. But uinfortunately that element is lost on the new version, and somehow replaced with other lighting effects I can't even see in the original. Some of the magic is lost for me, so for that reason I can't support it. 05:59, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I think I can create an image with the shafts of light back. If you've noticed my custom logos on my userpage, then you'll see that I have some experience in that area. I'll give it a try later today. 06:37, October 16, 2008 (UTC)
 * I didn't have much luck. But MARKOL is working on it. He says he'll get in soon. Tomorrow for us. Later today for you. Let's hope it is good. 00:58, November 8, 2008 (UTC)

Link at Sea
There is only one other image of Link's Awakening featured. That one is small and doesn't actually have a moment from the game. This one does. It is of Link struggling to keep his boat afloat as seen in the game's opening. This image came from the Nintendo Guide for the game. It was monochrome, except for the lamp glow. I colored it based on the colors of those objects in the game. It took a lot of work to fix up this image. It looks good and it was worked into the Link's Awakening page very well. There is a lot of drama in the image. Good to feature. 07:28, October 19, 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) . I would support this because it's interesting, nice colors, lot of drama. It's unique because of the action being portrayed, a good image. Aye, I'm in favorThe Sage of Cosmos 13:01, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) I'm supporting this. You can really tell that a lot of work has gone into this picture. --HylianWannabe 13:01, 7 November 2008(UTC)
 * 3) I want this picture to be featured because its very unique, and because we dont have alot of art like this featured. Its a very good and well done picture and deserves to be featured. --Kresh64 21:08, 14 November 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) I oppose this because when i look at it i can't make out what it is, its just not interesting.HeroOfTime6 10:05, 1 November 2008
 * 2) I had to click on the picture to see what it actually was. I thought the lantern was Navi. My interest is also not sparked. --HeroOfTheWinds10 19:50, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) *Vote nullified by a consensus of three.
 * 4) This picture would have been cooler in monochrome, also this picture doesn't have Link's face and his face is pretty.--ILoVeSaSuSkE 19:30, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Comments
Matt, you don't seem to get what I'm trying to tell you, the thumbnai wasn't the only thing HeroOfTheWinds10 voted on. And HeroOfTime6 didn't mention anything about the size. However the picture is quite interesting, if it wasn't so topsy-turvey it would have my vote.--Link hero of light 00:16, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd just like to point out that complaining about a thumbnail is not a good thing to do. It says nothing about the image. If any other two people agree with me we'll cancel out these votes. 19:56, November 7, 2008 (UTC)
 * Remember, you're voting on the image, not the image's thumbnail! ;) 21:20, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * You seem to have this thing where when somebody votes against something you have nominated or support, those votes are invalid. HeroOfTime6 said that the picture is not interesting and he couldn't really make out what is is. I don't see how that vote could be invalid. Also, HeroOfTheWinds10 opposed not only because of thumbnail, he also said it was not interesting. Both those votes seem valid to me.--Link hero of light 00:00, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't believe anyone said that the said votes were invalid. But you can't judge from just looking at the thumbnail. I actually thought the image was interesting.The Sage of Cosmos 00:08, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * That is a coincidence. They voted on the thumbnail not the image. That makes them invalid. End of story. (The image was displayed a lot smaller than this when they voted.) 00:10, November 8, 2008 (UTC)
 * On a side note, those other votes WERE invalid. I would have done the same thing regardless of whether or not I supported the image. We just didn't have this process of invalidating them yet. 00:14, November 8, 2008 (UTC)
 * "when i look at it i can't make out what it is" He can't make it out because it was a small thumbnail. The votes are invalid. It was a beginner's mistake. Also, if they can't make out the thumbnail, then of course they won't think that it is interesting. The two go together. Let me remind you that Ando and I are in agreement on this issue. He's away at the moment. But he'll be back in a few hours. 00:25, November 8, 2008 (UTC)
 * You know what, we could just go back and forth, both of have said our parts and now it's up for a sysop to decide. When Ando get's back he can decide whether those vote are invalid or not. If he says they are, I'll admit defeat in this debate.--Link hero of light 00:37, 8 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I understand now. I believe I misunderstood along the line here. From reading the above comments, I'm gonna have to agree with Ando and Matt on this. Add to the record you have third party joining your agrement ;) The Sage of Cosmos 01:30, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay then. But we'll still wait for Ando. He and I need to discuss how to go about this. 01:38, November 8, 2008 (UTC)
 * "He and you"? Don't you mean Ando, Matt and LHOL need to discuss how to go about it :P. --Link hero of light 01:44, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Not this case. I mean we have to talk of the mechanics of how this process is going to work now and in every future case. This matter is already decided so Ando and I don't have to talk about that part. Basically I'm thinking that we need a template and update the rule listing above. This whole process was already agreed upon. We just have to work out how to do it. 01:59, November 8, 2008 (UTC)
 * Did you call Ando or E-mail him? I figured you must have some means of comunnication with him since you knew he was going to be gone.--Link hero of light 04:09, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * One, check this, LHOL. Two, if they find the image uninteresting, well, that's their opinion, and given that featured picture nominees are decided almost solely on personal preference of the image, that's okay. However, saying "I can't make out what this is unless I look at it in full view" isn't right: you're voting on the image, not on the thumbnail. If you don't like the full image, that's fine! You're entitled to that opinion. But stating that you don't like the thumbnail is not a valid reason to oppose the image's nomination. 04:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay. I know that it was a beginner's mistake to complain about the thumbnail. But I did also mention that I was not very interested in the picture.--HeroOfTheWinds10 21:37, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Noted, but we have had a consensus of three. The vote is out. Sorry. The point is that you've learned from your mistake. 21:34, November 14, 2008 (UTC)
 * I said i couldnt make out what it was because its so swirly and not interesting but lets put all this uglyness behind us.--HeroOfTime6 21:59, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Swirly? He's caught it a wave. The part behind the sail is sky. Not innteresting? He is about to be capsized! That is too interesting by anyone's standards. 21:34, November 14, 2008 (UTC)


 * Can we really count the third vote? Monocrome? No one would ever let a monocrome one be featured. Besides the original version from the book wasn't monocrome. Also, not showing Link's face because his face is pretty? I didn't draw this! We'd never let fan art be featured. This isn't a matter of whether Link's face is pretty or not! I think that this vote should be nullified too. 21:34, November 14, 2008 (UTC)
