Changing the profile image (the image in the article's infobox, or the top image to the right of the introduction to a large majority of articles) is one of the most common proposed changes to articles on Avatar Wiki. Due to the regularity with which profile image changes are suggested, Avatar Wiki centralizes these changes on this page.

Procedures Edit

1. The proposer posts their suggestion(s) here. The proposer must support their suggestion(s) with a sensible reason for replacement ("it is an accurate representation of the character/plot").
2. An administrator will announce the proposal on the community corner (this can be found below Hot Spots on Special:WikiActivity) if it is believed a grounded reason to initiate the image change process has been given in the original proposal.
3. Discussion about the proposal can begin. If a discussion ensues and:
   1. no general consensus appears to develop between involved users, then a ballot will be placed forward;
   2. the people involved are all in agreement and after three days no one else voice their objections, then the image can be replaced without voting.
4. If #3 does not apply and, after three days, no one replies, then the image can be replaced without discussion or voting.

The Legend of Korra proposals Edit

With the airing of the new series and the constant income of new images, there will be a waiting period of three weeks to consider after the introduction of a new character before suggesting to change an infobox image.

There are, however, a few exceptions to this rule:

• When a page is created with a certain image, that image may immediately be subjected to a proposal to change if it is lacking.
• When an image isn't in an appropriate ratio (444x250 or 400x300).
• When the infobox image is still concept art.

Current proposals Edit

Rejected proposals Edit

This proposal has been rejected, because Lo and Li were known as "cold, focused people who contributed to Azula's undeniable thirst for power". This proposal does not portray that at all. Lo and Li Edit Current image Proposed replacement #1 In the current image, Lo and Li are wearing weird uniforms, and Li's mouth is hanging open awkwardly. Also, the lighting is weird, as the background is dark while Lo and Li look very bright. The proposal shows the brighter side of Lo and Li, without any uniforms or open mouths. Justme13 (wall • contribs) 19:32, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

This proposal has been rejected, because the proposed was previously turned down in favor of the current; the proposal is just a duplicate file of the previous PI. Long Feng Edit Current image Long Feng Proposal.png Proposed replacement #1 The proposed image shows the more mysterious and dark side of Long Feng, along with showing his seriousness. Justme13 (wall • contribs) 04:51, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

This proposal has been rejected, because the current one was changed to a better crop and the proposer subsequently retracted this proposal. Tara Strong Edit Current image Tara Strong proposal.jpg Proposed replacement #1 As you can see, the current image is not of the highest quality. She is also not centred in the frame. The proposal is the image currently being used on her page on Wikipedia, and frankly, I just think it looks better. fruipy oaty bar это курам на смех 02:40, April 11, 2013 (UTC)

This proposal has been rejected, because the proposal is of low quality: blurry with a shine over it. Kyoshi Edit Current image Avatar Kyoshi proposal.png Proposed replacement #1 I think it's just better. It's more up-to-date picture of her. She also appeared in Korra's life so it's probably a bonus, imo. Unnamed Airbender (Message Me · Read my fanon) 22:41, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

Night Animals Edit

The current image can stands well in the page, but we don't have to keep the entire first page as infobox image. The proposed image can present the main idea of the story; Appa and Momo better than the current, because the proposed is detailed.

There is no need to have the entire first page as the infobox image when the first frame alone can suffice. It shows the essentials, being the title and Katara writing in her diary, which is enough. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 15:53, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

Fruit Stand Freestyle Edit

The page that hosts this image is rather short and will likely remain that way. The current image makes the infobox very elongated, so that there is a white space at the bottom. This is not bad necessarily, but I feel like just the first frame of the comic would be an equally sufficient infobox image and it will not elongate the infobox like now.

I oppose. As I mentioned before, changing this image will result in changing ever other pictures which will be a hassle. Also, giving the full page better because it will give the views some idea of how it looks like. Unnamed Airbender (Message Me · Read my fanon) 15:09, May 16, 2013 (UTC)

And as I mentioned before (granted, on the VfD page), you should have learned by now that these proposals are viewed on their own, they are gauged on their own merit. Arguments like "it should be this because of X" are void of reason, so they don't count at all. In this case, the image elongates the page, which is unnecessary and doesn't look good. In another case, the long image can suit the page just fine if the page on itself is longer. As such you have to have a specific case-review each time as opposed to simply generalizing everything like you do. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 02:24, May 17, 2013 (UTC)

However, due to Krazykid's excellent edit, the page has become long enough, so there is no need to change the image anymore. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 12:26, May 17, 2013 (UTC)

The current image is the entire first page of the comic, but since it is used in the infobox, one can't read anything in it anyway. That's why I propose to replace it by the first frame of that page only, which features the comic's title more clearly. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 19:43, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

Approved for discussion. PSUAvatar14 Want to have a word? 20:48, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

I oppose. It's a bigger image which makes the page look nicer. I ,however, recommend blanking all the text. No one really reads the images so its really unnecessary. Unnamed Airbender (Message Me · Read my fanon) 22:36, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

The purpose of the infobox image, especially with comic infoboxes, is to indicate the title of the image. By having the larger image there, you can hardly see the text of the title and as such, the proposed does a better and more accurate job in portraying the title of the image -which is the purpose of the infobox image in this case- than the current does. And that is what it is about.

The blanking of the text will indeed be done, but not because you recommended it. It will be done because it is standard that we blank out speech bubbles in infobox images, and it was an oversight earlier. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 22:47, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

I understand what you're saying. But if we change this picture, we then should change every other comic article which may seem like an unnecessary hassle. I still prefer it to stay the same. We can find a better resolution picture if necessary. Unnamed Airbender (Message Me · Read my fanon) 14:59, May 16, 2013 (UTC)

Since when is changing pictures "a hassle". I don't mind you opposing, but the reasons you are giving are just completely insufficient and void of a true point. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 02:24, May 17, 2013 (UTC)

Era before the Avatar Edit

I don't have anything against the current, but the current image is taken from 100 ASC; which that means it is not from the past. Though I can't really sure is the proposal image drawing is before the Avatar, but it's clearly visible that the lion turtle and the condition of the drawing is from past lives. There are a lot of lion turtles that lived and it represent the Era before the Avatar, I believe. Acer Evan Seek anything about fanon! 14:06, May 12, 2013 (UTC)

Approved for discussion. PSUAvatar14 Want to have a word? 14:13, May 12, 2013 (UTC)

How do you know there were "a lot of lion turtles" in the Era before the Avatar? While the current image is from 100 ASC, its significance is not the time of origin, but rather the fact that this particular lion turtle is the only one confirmed to have lived before the Avatar. I don't believe that was ever said for the species in general, so it may not be correct to label the proposal as relating to the Era before the Avatar just because it shows lion turtles. I would prefer sticking to the current image, it's a nice iconic representation. Sparks • From • Hades 16:30, May 12, 2013 (UTC)

I think if we discuss this, we should take into consideration 1) that the only things that definitely are from the pre-Avatar era are: this special lion turtle + the drawings of Oma/Shu + Omashu itself, and 2) that from what we heard of season 2 of LoK, Bryke want to show the origins of the Avatars. The latter would mean that we could/have to change the picture again after a couple of months. I'm not against the change, but I also do not see any great benefit from it.

The only way you could truly vote was to leave this by using you account since anonymous users' votes don't count. So as long as you're blocked, you can't vote, even if you leave your account's signature. Sorry, Tech. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 22:21, May 3, 2013 (UTC)

This is not an "official" vote, we are not tallying votes, we are here to comment on it, and if commenting does not provide a consensus, then a vote must take place, at which, anons cannot vote. Tech Addict, Fan-Fiction Writer, and Aspiring Filmaker 22:39, May 3, 2013 (UTC) (UTC)

TF, I know you want to participate fully again, but due to the fact that anonymous user's identities can't be tracked down, they don't vote -and this counts as a vote as well, cause who's to say that a logged in user could otherwise not just log out, change his IP address a few times to rig any form of community consensus here? So please, do not unstrike your vote again. As long as you keep voting without logging in to an account, your vote/comment/whatever you want to name it on here will be stricken out. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 22:47, May 3, 2013 (UTC)

I also agree with the change. It's great artwork, though Korra's appearance is a big departure from her series look. Sparks • From • Hades 22:56, May 3, 2013 (UTC)

The Faction Edit

The current one is a side shot that has the most emphasis on Mai and Ty Lee since they are standing closest and in the light, which is completely not how the groups works. The proposed image better shows off the dynamics of the team imo. Azula is clearly on the forefront, calling the shots, with Mai and Ty Lee clearly visible, though obviously in the background. Azula looking downwards also emphasizes her authority and the eliteness of the group. You can also see part of the FN insignia in the background, which is just a nice touch.

I would like to propose a new image for Shinu; the main reasons are that on the current image you can only see him from the side, and Zhao stands in the background. The proposal, however, is a centered shot and does not have these problems. DyingFlameTsui (wall • contribs) 13:45, April 13, 2013 (UTC)

The current one is rather dark and Dev has a slightly awkward pose in at, with him leaning to the left (his right) and that smile. The proposed is a nice, clear, brighter, centered head-shot which I believe is more suitable to be an infobox image. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 08:30, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

The proposed is a more informal shot, but the possible downsides of that are by far outweighed by the quality upgrade it poses in comparison with the current image that is small in size and very blurry when put in the infobox. The proposed is a nice centered shot, good lighting, and overall good quality. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 08:51, April 8, 2013 (UTC)

Approved for discussion and I agree. Also not as concerned about the informal part as the current also has him with a bit of a strange look as well. PSUAvatar14 Want to have a word? 12:09, April 8, 2013 (UTC)
