File talk:Midna's true form.jpg

Keep it
I enjoy this picture very much. I'll keep it on my page, should nowhere else accept it. --Yuvorias, 16:49, 29 May 2008 (EST)

A bit late, however; better late then never....
I wanted to add my two-sense since I am the one who brought this image in. So, here it is: Yes, I am the contributor of the "culprit image". My reason for going onto Deviant Art was to hopefully find this character image of Midna; (like that of Zelda's) to give a complete image of what Midna's true form looked like in a high-resolution shot, with a buff job. And well, success! I stumbled upon this image and decided that I would like to possibly use it on the Wiki as the best reference for Midna's true form. Though I was late at getting to it, I was going to try and contact the doer of the art piece. It would have never been in my worst intention to ignore that credit should be given. I do thank the person who did contact the author of her imaging. Ok, back onto the subject of her image; I in no way saw it as any possible "threat" to Wiki standards. Ok, sure, it does in a way define itself as a fan-art. However, this image was ripped from a Nintendo based imaging, in whatever way it was done, it IS a Nintendo image and therefore can very well be labeled Nintendo copyright. The idea, the design, the clothes, the colors, everything about this image was and is Nintendo's making. All I see here is that a fan took it to make it up a bit to fit high-resolution standards and put her in the pose he saw fit to her personality. If you ask me, the way she is posing fits who she is. Sure, this image will forever be looked at as a fan-based image...but...its back-story gives information on a character in the game, Twilight Princess. I seriously and honestly thought it would do some good as, I myself and all know, that many, upon many fans were eagerly looking for an image of this nature of Midna's true form.

So, with all that being said, I still think it should be posted up on her gallery page. And ok, if majority of users still see it as fan-art based, then why not have a template made specifically for a fan-art. Fan art can have a drawn line. I see it at the point where, maybe and possibly fan-art can be allowed. However, only images that gives a certain insight to whatever game it coincides with, and nothing more. If the image is as pointless as the Dancing Midna I caught sight of, then no, that would have nothing to do with informational purposes on the game at hand. This found image does give some informational references to this chracter. I therefore will repeat, that I see no "threat" in having it posted up on her gallery page; with an image template stating it is fan-art. But yes, you have my apologies for not first thinking it over.--SmashBrosSheik 18:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
