Object

  • Just playing devil's advocate here, but if the work is simply titled Painting in the game, how do we know it's Endor? ~ SavageBob 16:18, February 18, 2011 (UTC)
    • Its in-game description specifically states its the landscape of Endor. Should I mention this in the BTS? OLIOSTER (talk) 16:20, February 18, 2011 (UTC)
      • Yeah, it might be worth changing that note to say something like, "Although the game lists the work's title as simply Painting, the descriptive text says blah blah blah." ~ SavageBob 16:24, February 18, 2011 (UTC)
  • Going to make it an official objection for the reasons listed below. Morrt is right --- it's in-universe media, so it should use Template:IU media. And... I guess all of the paintings should. Menkooroo 14:20, February 24, 2011 (UTC)
    • Fine, added. But I still think the small picture size required detracts from the quality of the article. OLIOSTER (talk) 19:49, February 24, 2011 (UTC)
      • Isn't there some way to modify the IU media infobox template to enable stretching to 350px? Darth Morrt 20:06, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Comments

  • Just a thought, couldn't all these painting use the IU media infobox? Media type: painting and the era could be filled, but some may have author or release date too. Darth Morrt 08:31, February 19, 2011 (UTC)
    • My main reason for not using infoboxes is that the 250 pixel limit makes the pictures of the paintings look bad. OLIOSTER (talk) 17:38, February 19, 2011 (UTC)
      • If something can and should have an infobox, then image concerns should probably have to work around that, rather than vice-versa. Menkooroo 16:08, February 23, 2011 (UTC)
        • Also, if you make the thumbnail size bigger, won't the infobox just be made bigger, too? I doubt if anyone would object to larger infoboxes in this case. Menkooroo 16:09, February 23, 2011 (UTC)
          • No, the infobox does not completely stretch and anything over 250px makes the image appear behind the text. I'm not even sure what infobox would be appropriate either. OLIOSTER (talk) 01:39, February 24, 2011 (UTC)
