The proposed image is of the correct ratio, and doesn't have the awkward light from the fire. DarkKnightRises (wall • contribs) 01:01, July 4, 2012 (UTC)

Approved for discussion.

If we want to move to an image with a correct ratio, I added #2, which is just a crop of the current one, as the only thing wrong with the current one -to me- is that it is out of ratio, but for the rest both the quality and lighting are good. Lady Lostris (talk • HotN) 01:09, July 4, 2012 (UTC)

I support proposal #2. DarkKnightRises (wall • contribs) 12:29, July 4, 2012 (UTC)

This is a hard one to decide one (although #1 is simply not in the question for me). I feel as if number the current one is nice because it shows his bending and what not, but that's not what profile images are about, it's about facial representation, therefore I support proposal #2. Technology Wizard Wall Contribs 18:40, July 5, 2012 (UTC)

I don't see what's wrong in showing that little flame since it serves to accentuates his identity as a Firebender. If ratio is the case here, then I support #2. Axiovatar Talk 18:32, July 6, 2012 (UTC)

I support #2, per Tech and Axio. Annawantimes (Talk) 15:26, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

Foggy Swamp Edit

File:Foggy Swamp Prop 1.png|Proposed replacement #1
</gallery>

The current, while certainly not a bad image, fails to capture one key element of the swamp: the Banyan-Grove Tree, which is basically the heart of the swamp. The proposed not only captures this, but centers it as well. Also, it seems to me it's a bit better quality than the current. Overall, it's just a more visually appealing image.

Current, per the above. Besides, the replacement hasn't any fog at all in it; at least the current shows a little. DesertDog (wall) 11:57, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

The current, per above; and if I'm not mistaken, this same proposal was shot down just a few weeks ago. * shrugs * Annawantimes (Talk) 15:50, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

Wholeheartedly oppose. The current image depicts the entirety of the swamp, while the proposal only centres more on the banyan-grove tree. Axiovatar Talk 05:38, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

In the current, although it is a frontal shot where he faces the camera, the lighting is, to be frank, terrible--his hair actually looks brown in the current, which it isn't-- and his smile almost makes him look friendly. The proposed, however, has much better lighting, a less "happy go lucky" nice guy expression, and he's not doing whatever that weird thing with his hands. Of course, though, he's not facing the camera. If your doctor is sick, then who is healing you? Read. It's good for you. 20:15, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

Approved for discussion. And I agree. Dcasawang1 • wall 05:34, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

File:Bowing to koizilla.png|Current image
File:Tenzin praying with family.png|Proposed replacement #1
</gallery>

It's very hard to see Koizilla in the current picture. The proposed shows Tenzin's family giving thanks for their food. I think this shows more 'faith' or 'belief' in spiritual forces because a Spirit is not visibly present in the proposed picture. GhostUser (wall • contribs) 00:46, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

Approved for discussion. Dcasawang1 • wall 02:20, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

I like the current better. In the proposed image It's hard to tell if the family giving thanks or just eating together.Thebigofan

Well they do have their hands clasped together, which is a big clue. GhostUser (wall • contribs) 04:53, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

While I have yet to decide which one to go with, I'd like to add that the proposal not only shows them clasping their hands together, but their eyes are closed as well, which shows that they are pretty much giving grace. Technology Wizard Wall Contribs 05:04, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

I disagree, mainly because at first glance, the proposal seems to depict a typical family having a meal together, which is hardly what we need as a profile image. I doubt the hints of them giving thanks could be easily spotted, especially when the image is shrunk and placed into the infobox. Profile images should be conspicuous/unambiguous on depicting the subject of the article. If a profile image raises the slightest doubt in reader's minds, or cause confusion regarding the article's content, then it has failed it's purpose. While I agree that the current image left more to be desired, it definitely translates "spiritual belief" relatively well - bowing in respect to a spiritual entity is a crystal-clear indication of their belief in the supernatural compared to a family sitting around a dining table. Axiovatar Talk 08:43, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

I prefer the current, as it CLEARLY shows people bowing down. DarkKnightRises (wall • contribs) 11:15, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

I prefer the current as well. With the proposed, yes, it does show the family in prayer which is spiritual, but the thing is, you have to really look at the picture closely to understand that they're praying. Honestly, when I first saw the picture, I just saw it as a family sitting around the table for dinner, not getting the spiritual vibe until I actually read that it showed them praying. The current clearly displays spirituality, though, and so I say stay with that one. The Ultimate Waterbender 13:46, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

Oppose. The second one, unless you look closely just looks like the family having a typical meal. I like the current one much better.Iceland 77 19:42, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

I do not support the proposal because it is not obvious what is taking place unless viewed closely. I do not, however, think the current is the best representation of the article, and I would like to see another proposal to choose from. --DivineElement Message 13:35, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

In light of the second season of Korra being called "Spirits", I think it is very likely we will get a picture better than both of the current and proposed when it comes out in 2013. GhostUser (wall • contribs) 21:30, July 15, 2012 (UTC)

There are only two things really wrong with the current: his hand is on his chin (which is a very, very awkward position...) and he's not really smiling. The proposed, while sacrificing the great lighting the current has and toning down the quality just a bit, shows a centered portrait of him smiling and without the awkward position.If your doctor is sick, then who is healing you?

I oppose this proposal. The current one may not have a desired pose, but I don't see any problem with it. The lighting is far better and the proposal is far more blurry. Technology Wizard Wall Contribs 02:01, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

I say we should stick with the current for the reasons stated by Technology Wizard. Also, the current is of much higher quality. --DivineElement Message 13:20, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

SozinWar.png|Proposed replacement #1
Fire_Nation_Military.png|Proposed replacement #2

The current image shows the The Invasion of the Fire Nation, it doesn't represent the Hundred Years War; it is showing a major battle during the war. Proposed #1 shows the begging of the war, Sozin (probably) telling the Fire Nation to destroy the Air Nomads. Proposed #2 shows the Fire Nation ships and soldiers during the war. Whatever proposed image you choose I'm fine with it; I just don't like the current image.Harryhogwarts (wall • contribs) 20:20, July 11, 2012 (UTC)Harryhogwarts

Approved for discussion. Dcasawang1 • wall 21:56, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

I choose proposal #2. It shows a view of the Fire Nation as they were, the starters of the Hundred Year War.

I like proposal 1. It shows Sozin who started the Hundred Years War and the vastness of the Fire Nation troops. It really is an epic way to represent the war, in my opinion. --Qim1 (wall • contribs) 01:42, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

I like proposal 1. It is centered, and has Sozin in the picture which is important because he started the war. It also has a lot of Fire Nation forces in the background. Lemongrab 06:16, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

I also support proposal #1. DarkKnightRises (wall • contribs) 11:06, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

I support proposal #1, per Lemongrab and Qim 1. --WangFire 18:28, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

Although I feel that both proposal #1 and proposal #2 are more appropriate than the current, I'm voting for proposal #1. I really like how it shows Sozin as the instigator of the war, his power, and the effects of his ambition. --DivineElement Message 13:26, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

I prefer proposal #1, for reasons already stated above, particularly Divine Element's explanation. Icarlyftw talk to me 17:22, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

I agree that both proposals are better than the currect picture, I favor proposal #1. O.W.L.(My Blog) 23:12, July 15, 2012 (UTC)

I think anything but the current, it only shows a scene of the war but thats it, no firelord, no avatar just a scene. N3XT

I like the two proposals over the current one, but I prefer proposal #1 over proposal #2 because it shows Sozin as the one who started the war, plus it shows the huge number of soldiers the Fire Nation had. I choose proposal #1. Icy Ashford (wall • contribs) 00:14, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

The current one makes him look valiant and strong-minded. Support. Technology Wizard Wall Contribs 07:25, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

As Lady Lostris already said, the lighting in the proposed image has poor lighting and doesn't show the real pigmentation of his skin. I say keep the current one. Icy Ashford (wall • contribs) 00:03, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

I would like to submit proposal #2 for review. In my proposed image he looks like he's not afraid to get his hands dirty unlike most generals, and his facial expression I have to say makes him look more dashing.

--Sokka jr • (Talk) 04:42, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

I agree with you on the qualities of #2. But imo, Iroh dangling on a rope with war-torn clothes and bandages doesn't seem to be the ideal representation of him. Whereas in the current image, he was neatly suited and ready for battle. Coupled with a near perfect frontal shot and a stern expression, I'd say the current image wins it for me.

Honestly, the main reason I'm proposing this is because...well...the current image is just horrible, from a photogenic standpoint. His eyes are three times bigger than they'd normally be (I think he's staring into my soul...) and he looks really caught off guard. The proposed, to be frank, is just way more aesthetically pleasing and less...well, creepy. If your doctor is sick, then who is healing you? Read. It's good for you. 04:09, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

EDIT: Also, for the record, when the proposed is put into the infobox, the size will make it look much less blurry than it looks right now. The page auto-resizes it to make it fit in the template.

The current is a good image. However, I feel the trees block too much of the river in the current, and the land takes up half the image.

Just for the record, I thorw my strongest support to #6; his eyes are brown there and I don't see the problem with the shoulder. In 1, he's way too young, in two...no, not a profile shot, and in 3 it's too close. 4 and 5 have the eye problem, as ATFF said.It doesn't matter what you did; what matters is who you are.

The current image of him is him several years ago as he will be turning 17 this year. His facial expression seems a bit odd in the current picture as well. My proposed images are of him much more recently and are of better quality. Technology Wizard Wall Contribs 18:26, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

Let's get the negatives out of the way first; the current image, if you know what happens in the episode, shows the modernization of the temple, which the proposed fails to do. Otherwise, however, it looks like the temple is on fire, which isn't what we are trying to convey at all. Therefore, this point is moot. Second, its quality is slightly higher than the proposed. However, the proposed shows the entire temple, which the current fails to do; again, if you haven't seen the episode, you can't tell it's on a mountain. It also shows the surrounding areas, including the mountains, clouds, etc. much more clearly than the current, where you almost have to strain to see them (altough the clouds are pretty prominent, but the mountains aren't). Also, there isn't that much of a difference in quality.It doesn't matter what you did; what matters is who you are. (Rebel) 23:41, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

I disagree with the proposed image since it is hard to see the architectural aspects.

I support the current, the proposals simply do not represent her personality as well as the current one does. Annawantimes (Talk) 04:09, July 24, 2012 (UTC)

I support #2. I don't know what all this commotion is about it not reflecting her personality; for me, the shot captured in #2 is classic Toph, as it reflects the "waiting and listening" aspect of her person that defined her whole reason for joining the group in the first place. It certainly reflects the cool, if not so much the determined part of her personality, and I think the current makes her seem more warlike than she actually is. It make less sense to me to have a picture of Toph going to war (when she only fought in two major battles), than to have something from her days as The Blind Bandit, which solidified major aspects of her character. And it does have the benefit of being centered on Toph's face, rather than being a half-body shot like the current. Just giving my opinion, Toph's Fanboy Read My Fanon! 07:20, July 24, 2012 (UTC)

I support the current picture. It shows her tough personality and her willingness to go into a fight. As for the obstructions of her face... have we forgotten that she is blind? The question is obviously rhetorical because Toph is the most memorable character. But seriously, remember that she doesn't need her eyes to see, so we don't need to see them in "the perfect light." This picture also alludes to the gravity of the events in which she is involved, and the growth she exhibits throughout the series. The Blind Bandit shots show who she was but not who she has become. While her Blind Bandit persona is a big part of who she is, her position in this war is bigger to her character. Amarok II (wall • contribs) 03:03, July 25, 2012 (UTC)

The current hardly conveys the idea that one must have a calm mental state in order to reirect lightning, the key concept behind the technique. Otherwise, it is also abnormally powerful, ala Sozin's Comet aiding Azula in creating it, and the lighting is bad; the lightning literally turned everything in the image blue. The proposals have none of these problems; all subjects creating lightning in the proposals look semi-sane, to say the least (the latter three more than the former three), there is no additional power to the lightning blasts, and most everything on screen is the color it should be. Also, the current shows Azula shooting lightning, not generating it. While this isn't a huge problem, all of the proposals except for #2 and #6 show the basic generation, not the result.
