Although Meelo is still pretty much a dumb kid in general, some of his personality changed drastically, as well as his appearance. The proposal reflects on the obvious changes in his appearance and the new expression -while having the obvious downside of a shadow on his face- does portray his new determined "I'm the best thing ever" attitude that he generally sported in Book 4. He also still looks mischievous and playful, making it a rather good portrayal of who he is as a character. Lady Lostris /

- Support. It accurately portrays his personality and appearance at the end of the series and also appears to be a higher quality image. Katherine Rebekah (wall • contribs)
Unpopular opinion inbound: I find the proposal creepy. I agree that it would be nice to have a post-timeskip picture, but I don't think it sould be this one. I think it's too close up and in-your-face, so to speak. Support the current.

- Considering Meelo's general personality and mannerisms, having an image that you find "creepy" would actually be an argument pro the image and pro "good character representation", since Meelo constantly does creepy things and is constantly in your face. Lady Lostris / SOAP 20:55, December 22, 2014 (UTC)
- I actually agree with AA7, but LL is right about Meelo being "different" it really shows how he is so I agree with the proposal :) User:Tono555/Sig2 04:56, December 23, 2014

The Rift Part Three revealed Nutha to be a quite lighthearted character who was just looking so serious earlier because she was mad at Katara. As such, I propose to change her image to reflect her true personality. I included two proposals and in my opinion, it's really just a matter of what you find least distracting: proposal one has more hand but less speech bubble, whereas proposal two has no hand, but more speech bubble. Personally, I lean to one, but I'm fine either way. Lady Lostris / SOAP 23:59, December 25, 2014 (UTC)

The proposal has more vibrant colors and a more neutral expression. Additionally, she's facing forward and there is no distracting hand in the shot. Lady Lostris / SOAP 23:59, December 25, 2014 (UTC)

I propose to change the current image for two reasons: 1. the extremely distracting and annoying rail that's in the middle of the image, and 2. the fact that the suits shown currently never had any significant role in the series since they were destroyed before they were even completed. Either proposal shows an adapted prototype that was actually used. The only downside I see in the images is that you can still see the animation of the wings -this is most visible in the second proposal, since the suits only have one pair of wings, though it depicts it with two due to the animation. Overall, however, I find that too be a minor point when compared to the fact that it actually shows the suits up close and in working condition and without the annoying railing. Lady Lostris / SOAP 21:27, December 27, 2014 (UTC)

The fact that the suits shown in the current picture were never actually used doesn't bother me at all, they are practically identical in appearance to the ones that are. As for the rail, you make a good point, that is kind of annoying. But both of the proposals have the downside of being a blurred action shot, and that's not all. The first is literally blurry, and the second makes it look like the suit has four wings, which isn't the case, and it has the distracting mecha suit in the back. So really, I like none of these, but if I had to choose one, I'd say proposal 1. AvatarAang7 22:09, December 27, 2014 (UTC)
- I support proposal one because I find the wing animation to not be as confusing in that one. I also do not like that Kuvira's Eva is present in proposal two. ShadowZaHedge Korrasami is endgame 22:14, December 27, 2014 (UTC)
- I definitely concede the point that both proposals are actions shots since they're taken of the suits being in flight. That said, the claim that the shots are blurred is just downright false. The background, yes, but that's often standard in animation to put the emphasis on the object in the foreground, which in this case makes the suits come out sharp. The only "blurriness" that there is, is what I had already noted in the beginning, being the animation of the wings and as noted from the start, that's less annoying and distracting as the rail in the proposal.
- Also, please note that the infobox image/main image on a page is meant to represent the subject of the page. As such, it matters very much whether or not it is a true representation of that subject. In this case, the current image displays suits that were never used and were barely seen for longer than a few seconds as the alleged most important representation, which is just downright a lie, because it's not. Lady Lostris / SOAP 22:20, December 27, 2014 (UTC)
- I support proposal two. It has a better angle, it lacks the bar from the current, it shows the suit functioning, and it lacks the high speed artefacts/after-images of the wings. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:08, December 29, 2014 (UTC)
- To be fair, image two doesn't lack those: they're the second pair of wings. The suit only has one pair, though whereas the high speed of the wings is shown as a minor blur in the first, it's shown as a pair of still wings in the second -which, granted, I only truly discovered after I made the proposal. Lady Lostris / SOAP 23:11, December 29, 2014 (UTC)
- I'll throw in for proposal 2 - I like being able to see the full, single suit more clearly. PSUAvatar14 Want to have a word? 14:51, December 31, 2014 (UTC)

There is not much wrong with the current image, so I just want to throw the option out here. The current image is better lit, but as a flashback image it does not show Old Iron's true skin color (red). The proposal is also without any distractions like speech bubbles.

Republic City has changed a lot. I've wanted a new image for it with the spirit vines for a while, but they never gave us a good one. Now, there's one with the vines and the new spirit portal. I know the color scheme isn't the best, but it's worth a try. Even if people disagree with it being the main image, I do feel that it should at least be used somewhere in the article, as it's the new status quo for Republic City. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:15, December 29, 2014 (UTC)
- Approved for discussion.
- While I definitely agree with the reasoning, I don't agree with the image. Due to the dark color scheme the focus lies completely on the light beam and while yes, the spirit portal is now part of the city, it should not demand all the attention, which it currently does. Lady Lostris / SOAP 23:18, December 29, 2014 (UTC)
- I agree with Lady Lostris. It's too dark and too far off to be the definitive profile picture of the city. AvatarAang7 21:14, December 30, 2014 (UTC)
Support — per reasons given. Republic City has changed drastically in appearance and I feel staying up to date with the canon is more important than lighting. There's also the fact that you can see more of the city, and it's at an angle and distance more ideal for a profile image for a location as large as RC. --Mandon (wall • contribs) 22:14, December 31, 2014 (UTC)
- Disagree. Image is too dark, and the focus is on the portal rather than the city. The article is about the city, so an image that focus on the city should be the profile image. Also, if I remember right, they said that the area would be abandoned because of the portal, so as such, a desolate picture wouldn't be a good representation of a city that people live in. Soren7550 (wall • contribs) 02:01, January 2, 2015 (UTC)
Support — the old image is okay, but I think this image is nice and "modern." It really captures the Book 4 look of Republic City and I think it's got a nice zoomed-out view. It's definitely very dark but I think it's perfectly fine. ~ •Hickorywhisker...! • (wall) 02:37, January 2, 2015 (UTC)
- I oppose for all of the previously mentioned reasons, as well as the fact that the absolute destruction of Republic City is not present throughout any major seasons of Korra. On the wiki we tend to keep our profile images and such relevant to the most important images of the characters, rather than picking a most recent one simply because it's recent. Throughout seasons one and two Republic City appears as it does in the photo. Since Republic City being covered by the vines is equally as promiment and important, I'd support to a picture of the vines. However, the complete destruction and ruins is only present at the very end of the show, so it's not really important to Republic City's identity in the series. Fire Ferret 23:57, January 2, 2015 (UTC)
I agree there should be a change in image, because the current image is outdated and honestly doesn't fully represent Republic City. I got 2 new images, yeah it's during the battle, but it's better than nothing. Also i think Proposed replacement #2 should replace the current image for United Republic of Nations. Decide on what to do... --Harryhogwarts (wall • contribs) 17:44, January 3, 2015 (UTC)User:Harryhogwarts
- I removed your #2 proposal, since it was unacceptable for an infobox image and would have never been approved in the first place.
- I still maintain my support of the current image. It was previously decided to maintain a closer look of the city as opposed to an overview shot as to better give the feeling of the modern city RC really is. The proposed, when shrunken down in the infobox will give a cluttered and small view of the city, which makes it undesirable as a main image. Lady Lostris / SOAP 17:54, January 3, 2015 (UTC)
- I oppose the proposals for the given reasons. DyingFlameTsui (wall • contribs) 18:18, January 3, 2015 (UTC)
- Kinda gotta oppose the second proposal as well. It's a shot of it during a battle, and right now that same image is up to replace the image for the United Republic page, of which it's very similar to. And I have to agree with LL with her reasons for objecting proposal 2 as well. Soren7550 (wall • contribs) 21:25, January 3, 2015 (UTC)
- I support the second proposal as well, even though I still prefer the first over it. While lacking the portal, you can tell there are vines all over the city. This isn't going to be picked as the new URN image, so that concern is out of the window. About the presence of ships and airships, those are very small in the properly sized, and will be even smaller in the infobox, so that's not a very good point against the image.

The ships and the boats are at least as noticeable as the vines, if not more. So if they're discarded as "hardly noticeable when resized in the infobox", then so should the vines, which would make the entire reason to change the image obsolete. Lady Lostris / SOAP 22:08, January 4, 2015 (UTC)
- Except that there are a lot more vines than vehicles. They're much more spread out, so they'd still be visible in the infobox. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:41, January 5, 2015 (UTC)
- More =/= better visible. The boats are in open water, as such, they stand out. The vines are subtle background vision, thus the attention of the viewer is drawn to the tall buildings -which we already have in the current image- and the foreign object in the open water -which shouldn't be there. Just because there are vines, doesn't mean that they also attract attention enough to offset the obvious downside that you don't see them, don't really see the image very well, and that it is a near duplicate of the URN image that is currently used.

There is nothing really wrong with the current, though I just wanted to offer another option as the infobox image. The proposal has the benefit of being of higher quality, which allows for more detail of the animals, and it a frontal shot, which places more emphasis on their faces and special feet. As a downside, the figures on their backs are slightly more noticeable than in the current, though that does give a nice size-comparison. Lady Lostris / SOAP 16:27, December 29, 2014 (UTC)

Like you said, the current is fine. I like the side view better, as it does show their features, and I think that Wu and Tu being more prominent than Sokka and the hippies is kind of distracting, while the former give a good size comparison as well. Close call, but I'm going to vote against the change. AvatarAang7 21:03, December 29, 2014 (UTC)

I think this image is definitely better because here, her face is most symmetrical and she gazes straight forward. The current image is at a bad angle and portrays Kuvira in a way she is not usually seen. Please express your opinions, thank you. Jinora

- Approved for discussion. PSUAvatar14 Want to have a word? 21:50, December 31, 2014 (UTC)
As much as I'd prefer a symmetrical photo, I oppose the proposal due to the fact that she's using an expression that doesn't portray her in the way she's usually seen. The scowling portrays her with a level of anger that isn't normally seen in her normal expression and she comes off as more of a snivelling child having a temper tantrum than a cold, ruthless dictator, and the lighting is slightly worse. On top of it all, the dark background makes it harder to see her hairstyle and there's a loss of detail on the mouth. --Mandon (wall • contribs) 22:12, December 31, 2014 (UTC)
- I disagree as well. The current portrays Kuvira with a calm and serious determination, something that represents her character throughout the majority of her appearances, while the proposal shows her to be remarkably more agitated, which we didn't really seen as being part of her until the last few episodes. The current also has the benefit of having a less distracting background, and, as Mandon mentioned, the proposal appears to be more undefined and less detailed than the current. —Random Ranaun (Talk to me!) 22:21, December 31, 2014 (UTC)

Well The United Republic was changed over time in the series and to show that 4 year change, I think it needs a new image. This image shows the spirit vines, an important part to Republic City and the United Republic since Harmonic Convergence. Overall this image should replace the current one because it shows what the United Republic looks like noe and it's an updated version of the current image. Oh by the way in case you were wondering, the image is in high resolution that's what it's so huge. --Harryhogwarts (wall • contribs) 18:21, January 3, 2015 (UTC)User:Harryhogwarts

- I oppose. I don't see any reason to update a high quality image without distractions to one that has boats and airships on the wiki. While Republic City has been known to have been overgrown with vines, the same cannon be said for the entirety of the URN, so I don't see why we should "update" to something that might as well not have happened to all the URN lands.

I know we only recently changed this, but going over the episode again, I found a new shot that I think would do a better job of representing the suit as whole. It shows it mid flight, though without the wing animation. It shows the mechanics of the wings, to give us an idea of how it flies. It is a frontal shot, thus giving a clear view on the welding torches, the landing gear, and the pilot seats. The buildings in the background are perhaps a bit distracting, though considering all the benefits this image has, I can definitely live with that. Lady Lostris / SOAP 12:00, January 4, 2015 (UTC)

- I don't know if I'm even allowed to discuss, and I know this probably won't change matters, but I'll just throw in my two cents. I don't like the DVD cover as it just shows Korra with the Republic City spirit portal. I know it's the consistency of using DVD covers as the main image that would probably be the main argument, but I think the poster has more relevance to the season as a whole in that it shows both Korra and Kuvira, the main protagonist and antagonist and the emblem of the Earth Empire, which played a huge role in the season. The spirit portal was only opened for the last few minutes of the season. So, to sum it up, I think the poster is better suited to represent the season as a whole, even if the DVD covers are normally used. All Hail the Ruler of the Bison!

- Of course you're allowed to discuss! And that is a great point, but for this, I personally think that remaining consistent is a better option. I do see the rationale behind choosing the poster for having more elements, but at the end of the day, the focus point should be Korra and the DVD cover maintains that.

- Of course you're allowed to discuss! And that is a great point, but for this, I personally think that remaining consistent is a better option. I do see the rationale behind choosing the poster for having more elements, but at the end of the day, the focus point should be Korra and the DVD cover maintains that.

Updated image to his new appearance. Exact same facial expression, good lighting and quality. Lady Lostris / SOAP 09:32, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
Pretty much the same as PR1, but thought I'd give the same image but with Mako facing the other direction. Personally, I like PR2 better because of a less distracting background. Water Spout 11:02, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
- Proposal 2 is of lesser quality with worse lighting and I'm honestly quite distracted by that golden thingy on his right ^^".

- I agree with Omnibender. Plus, I think PR #2 is a touch too far off.
Seeing as the proposals have him in Earth Kingdom attire, I dunno, but then again, this wiki is fixated on changing profile images to however characters were last seen (except for characters from TLAb to LoK) rather than keeping the image that of how the characters are most recognized. Of the two proposals, I guess 1 is the better one due to lighting, but again, I think sticking with how they're best recognized is a better choice. Soren7550 (wall • contribs) 04:26, January 20, 2015 (UTC)
- They aren't Earth Kingdom clothes, they are his police uniform as of Book Four. He had those clothes almost the entirety of the book, so the time for how he's "most recognized" can come up for debate. Don't forget he also gave up the scarf early in Book Three.

Updated appearance with his new outfit and slightly older and more mature facial features. Also no Pabu who is, although commonly seen with Bolin, sort of stealing Bolin's thunder in the current.

This image has been proposed before and shot down in hopes that a better one would come along. That hasn't happened, so I guess it'll do since it has a good quality and lighting and shows Korra with her new hairdo. Lady Lostris / SOAP 09:32, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
I added a few more images to choose from, just because I really am bothered by PR1. It just strikes me as too "cartoony", with the lack of detail and the doe eyes. That said, I don't PR2 and PR3 are perfect choices either, but I would choose one of them over the first. PR2 has terrible lighting (I tried to increase brightness but it did not help that much) while PR3 is not the standard 333x250 because Suyin was in the background. I have a slight preference for PR2 despite the lighting just because the detail and the frontal depiction do salvage the image to an extent. Water Spout 11:02, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
- I initially thought of Proposal 2 as well, though after testing it out, it came out too dark (at least when using the original coloring and not the altered version as was originally uploaded, which made Korra be orange ^^"). However, despite the lighting, the expression is also atypical for Korra, which makes it an undesired image to use. As for the third proposal, the expression is once again unfitting for Korra and the crop is undesirable for the main image. I agree that proposal 1 is not perfect, far from -I still stand by all my reasons to have shot it down before- but since no better image is available and it is desirable to show an updated appearance (if we're doing it for some, it only makes sense to do it for all), it is the best of the bunch, so I retain support for #1. Lady Lostris / SOAP 11:11, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
- I still agree with proposal #1. I can kind of see the objections people made, but I think they are outweighed by the new hairstyle. I also think that the expression of both #3 and #4 are wrong for the profile picture, plus I think that #3 is too dark. AvatarAang7 11:18, January 18, 2015 (UTC)

- I hate proposal #1, we have it over at the spanish wiki. You can check it out here. It just doesn't look good to me. I will go with proposal 3 then; I feel it is better. Tono555 14:08, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
- For those taking Tono's reference as an example: please note that the first proposal is of better quality, of better proportions, and has a cleaner crop -thus leaving more space at the bottom.

I simply don't like proposal 1, while the expression of the other proposals is indeed atypical, so I vote for the current one. DyingFlameTsui (wall • contribs) 15:48, January 18, 2015 (UTC)

- A must smiling is not, though what is a must with profile images is that that they display a character's personality as best as possible -which is Korra's case means that we should depict her either neutral looking or smiling/having fun, not angrily frowning as #3 points her to be. I agree that #1 isn't perfect, I was one of its biggest opposers last time, but it's sadly the best one with her current appearance that comes closest to displaying her personality as well.

Well if the only plus is having her depicted with shorter hair and the only viable option is a photo that's inherently flawed on a number of levels then shouldn't we ask ourselves if it really needs to be changed to begin with? This is basically Sokka all over again - in that we're choosing between updated appearance veruses a low quality image. I think with that being said I'll change my vote to remain with the current image. --Mandon (wall • contribs) 17:29, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
- You're very much allowed to do so, because really, it took me days of going back and forth in my mind, debating whether or not I would in the end propose the image change. Though just one minor factual correction: the image is not of low quality. The expression leaves things to be desired, but not the actual quality of the image, which is the highest there is available. Maybe we should just ask the creators to take proposal 1 and just draw a better expression on it :-p Lady Lostris / SOAP 17:49, January 18, 2015 (UTC)

Hey, adding one last one. I know it's not her normal outfit and hairstyle, but it has better lighting than the current proposals all do, and to be fair the same could be said for Aang. I think(?) a similar image was put up for debate and shot down due to low quality, but this is higher quality than that proposal. I'm not sure that it's necessarily a huge improvement, but I figured I would put it up there anyways. Fire

In regards to hairstyle— that's true that it is different, but I don't think the difference is too large. In fact, I argue that the difference is much less drastic than the before/after for Book 3 and 4, considering the haircut is a key sign of the change she undergoes over the three year break. I also definitely don't like proposal 1. The entire picture seems to be lacking in detail. The nose seems to be lacking in any detail, ultimately appearing somewhat non-existant, and the eyes are definitely uneven as either they were drawn that way, or the fact that the one on the right is definitely more rounded than the one on the left. I just think it's a bit of a weird shot to use for Korra's profile. I retain my support for my proposal, as I dislike the lighting in 2, and feel that 3 is too serious. There may be some issues due to the fact that it isn't her normal outfit or hair, but the bun is not too noticeable, and ultimately I feel that those flaws don't outweigh that of any of the others. Fire Ferret 09:32, January 27, 2015 (UTC)
- Don't get me wrong, proposal 1 has many mistakes -as said in the beginning, I still stand by all the reasons I shot it down in the first place. However, proposal 4 just does not fit what we're looking for in an infobox image, being "The infobox image should depict the character's most typical and recognizable likeness." (emphasis added). Korra in her fancy dress with her hair put up (which is, tbh, quite noticeable due to being on the top of her head and by the small bangs that thus leave space between her hair and the side of her face) is neither typical, nor most recognizable. Lady Lostris / SOAP 09:53, January 27, 2015 (UTC)
Per the allowed changed of the image policy, "Enhancing the color levels, shading, brightness, contrast, and/or alpha of non-free images should only be done so as to improve their overall quality," I added a fifth proposal, which is a brightened version of the second. Not entirely a fan on the blank expression, though the same can be said of the expression of the first, so I'm throwing it in there. Lady Lostris / SOAP 14:36, January 27, 2015 (UTC)
- I still prefer #4, but out of all of the other options, I think #5 is the best. It's nicer quality than 1, less upset than #3 and still features the new hairstyle. While the expression is a little somber, I think it can still work. Fire Ferret 19:37, January 27, 2015 (UTC)
- I strongly support PR5. It has all the elements desirable for a profile image in the fact that its head-on, depicts the character's most recognizable and iconic appearance, and has a non-distracting background. I can understand reservations about the expression, but I think that is more "Korra" than the current or PR1. Korra is not typically happy go-lucky or smiley, what was reinforced in all four books was that she is tough and no-nonsense, which PR5 highlights. I'd argue that it isn't as much "blank" as it is "determined", since that same face has been seen time-and-time again when Korra asserts her position, resolves to action, or calls someone out.

I change my vote from current to 100% support for proposal 5. I know she isn't smiling but it's a very subdued expression and the most important thing is that it's 150% superior to proposal 1 in both detail and expression. --Mandon (wall • contribs) 05:40, January 28, 2015 (UTC)
I'm changing my vote from proposal 1 to proposal 5. I'm not really worried about her expression since it's not a requirement that all of the characters be happy in their profile picture, but I still like it more. --Momentous January 28, 2015
I'm not entirely sold on the expression of #5, but I do think it's the best one here. Change support from #1 to #5. AvatarAang7 16:29, January 28, 2015 (UTC)

Never really liked the expression in the current. However, Kya is another one of those irritating characters in the sense that they're too cool to pose for the camera. As such, the proposal was the only one with a decent expression and lighting I could find to possibly replace the current and I think it should. They're the same in terms of quality, but I feel like the lighting is slightly better in the proposed and it certainly has a better expression. Lady Lostris / SOAP 21:38, January 19, 2015 (UTC)

- It's most definitely cropped since it's taken from the shot where she's telling Daw and the other airbenders that Tenzin wants them to move to the NAT. Then again, the current it also cropped (as are many other profile images). Lady Lostris / SOAP 10:11, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

- I'm torn. On the one hand, I like the expression and angle of the current better, but I like the tattoos and older appearencefrom the proposal. If I have to choose, I'd say that I'd support the proposal. AvatarAang7 11:50, February 1, 2015 (UTC)
- While definitely not an ideal image, I support the proposal. The update appearance outweighs the less than ideal lighting and the open mouth in my opinion. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 15:00, February 1, 2015 (UTC)

Although we do tend to use in-series screencaps as profile images, I believe this is a case where an image from the artbook is more appropriate. The sandshark's anatomy is clearly on display in the proposal, and the shot highlights its distinctive mouth cavity. The current, on the other hand, depicts the sandshark in an awkward position in relatively low quality. Water Spout 22:06, February 1, 2015 (UTC)
- I disagree. The quality seems just fine to me and the proposal is much more awkward to me than the current. The complete anatomy is indeed better depicted in the proposal, though the expandable jaws are already depicted with another image on the sandshark page itself, so that facet is already covered.

I'm with Water Spout. I think the proposal's benefits outweigh the disadvantages. AvatarAang7 12:02, February 2, 2015 (UTC)
I agree. This picture shows the sarcastic fringehead-esque looks of the fish whereas in the current picture you can't really tell.--"Hickorywhisker"
- Can someone please explain to me how a neutral curved form is more awkward than the open-mouth shot (which is, as stated above, already covered on the page)? Especially when previewed in the infobox, the proposal comes off even more awkward due to the white background than it already is with the open-mouthed shot. What benefits does the proposal have to outweigh the disadvantages? Lady Lostris / SOAP 17:38, February 2, 2015 (UTC)
- The open mouth-thing is an opinion that we disgaree on, but the proposal has better lighting, more detail (look at the fins and eye) and I think that the animal being mostly straight is a good thing. AvatarAang7 11:21, February 3, 2015 (UTC)

Rohan, as he is last seen in the series, is not an infant anymore. He's four years old and since he doesn't really get a good close-up besides this one, I figured he should get updated like his older siblings. WBWhen91 (wall • contribs) 04:12, February 9, 2015 (UTC)
- Approved for discussion. I understand the desire to get the current image up to date along with the lack of suitable shots, but I am not entirely comfortable with using an image of him slopped in juice and hair sticking up. Therefore, I would have to vote against this. PSUAvatar14 Want to have a word? 04:26, February 9, 2015 (UTC)
- I too get the desire for an updated image, but the juice is a deal breaker. Don't really have a problem with the hair though, since that's how it looked every time Rohan appeared in Book 4. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 11:00, February 9, 2015 (UTC)
- I am with Omnibender, and unless someone can do a good zoom up on Rohan face. Then those other times he appears could be added. But didn't the nick website of the family tree show a good one of him? We could use that instead. Hopemon (wall • contribs) 15:55, February 9, 2015 (UTC)
- I have no idea where that image is from though. My guess based on the plain background is that it's from concept art. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:07, February 9, 2015 (UTC)

- I know, it the only kind of pic we got that shows Rohan close up. But it like the same as when he was first seen on his dad shoulder back in the first episode of book four. And I know most people wouldn't want it, but it one of the few good close up we got. Unless someone can zoom really well for Rohan from the episodes he was seen in. Hopemon (wall • contribs) 16:56, February 9, 2015 (UTC)
- WBWhen91, you shouldn't upload a new image over the old one. You upload it as a new file. And I don't think editing the image to remove the juice is allowed, so it's probably going to be reverted, or deleted if you do upload it as a new file. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:23, February 9, 2015 (UTC)
Oppose for reasons of juice.... --Mandon (wall • contribs) 23:07, February 10, 2015 (UTC)
I oppose. The juice is really distracting and looks extremely strange. --HICKORYWHISKRRRRR ~ Have a complaint? =P ~

I've always found the current image a bit awkward and undefined. The proposal has more detail and focus on Hou-Ting's face, features a less exaggerated headress, is free of animation inconsistencies (the trim of her collar), and shows her sporting a self-satisfied smirk, greatly demonstrating her personality. —Random Ranaun (Talk to me!) 04:29, February 9, 2015 (UTC)
- Approved for discussion. PSUAvatar14 Want to have a word? 04:33, February 9, 2015 (UTC)
- I have to go against the proposal. In my opinion, it has the same level of detail and focus on the face, the headdress is exactly the same. Don't really know what you mean about the collar, and I think the expression just gives her a too-malicious look that makes her seem more villainous than she actually was. She was an antagonist, but she wasn't exactly evil, just conceited, spoiled person that happened to have a lot of political power. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 11:00, February 9, 2015 (UTC)
I support the proposal. While Omnibender makes a good point in saying that she wasn't an evil villain, she was spoiled and bratty, which is far better demonstrated in the proposal than in the current, which make her appear more serious than she actually was. AvatarAang7 11:13, February 9, 2015 (UTC)
I support the proposal as the current one make her look like a bulldog or some kind of a dog. Hopemon (wall • contribs) 15:58, February 9, 2015 (UTC)

The proposal has the benefit of showing more of the store's shell selection, which pulls more focus compared to Sokka, which is central in the current. Water Spout 20:37, February 17, 2015 (UTC)

I’m not saying that this is the most high-quality picture of our friend Rohan, but it was the best I can get. It's pretty grainy, so I'll understand if it's rejected. ~ User:Hickorywhisker Avatar Wiki:Profile image change/bottom
