Proposal: Page Image Replacement

6

I propose that we replace the page image of this trope with the image located at https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/viewer/wallpapers-src__2017-04-10_Only-Komona_by-David-Revoy.html for two reasons:

1. The image we have right now is from Laputa: Castle in the Sky and is copyrighted therefore we can only do as much with it as fair use laws allow. The new image is under the Free CC BY 4.0 international license, attributable to David Revoy, which should make our wiki more flexible in the long term.

2. I have also added our current page image to the trope entry on Castle in the Sky. I think it fits better there (the movie is literally called Castle in the Sky), and would be better off illustrating that concept than floating continent. The two tropes are closely linked, and often the floating continent is the castle in the sky, so users will probably click from one page to another, expecting something different, then finding the exact same image. Replacing our current one would add variety to the content on the wiki.

What do you guys think?

I'm always in favour of replacing copyrighted images with licensed images. And this image looks good.

Vote to replace.

GethN7 (talkcontribs)

No objections from me.

Two votes from admins + implicit one from me, if I am correct, it should mean that this is a majority.

I'll probably leave this up for another 36 hours or so to give other people a chance to vote though. At the end of the period I'll replace the image provided we still have three more positive votes than negative ones.

Ilikecomputers (talkcontribs)

Well, it's been around 48 hours (more like 47), and we are still in the majority, so I'll go ahead with the replacement.


Edit: Replacement complete.

And now that I'm back from full-time holiday stuff, I'll add my (delayed) agreement that this is a great new image.
