Unused files

I suggest we delete all files listed here, with the obvious exceptions of "Favicon.ico" and "Search logo.png". Some of them are copyrighted and/or have near-duplicate images elswhere (namely the ship insignia images). Others I can't figure out where to put. I say it's time to clean house. Who's with me?! --From Andoria with Love 06:36, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Since Special:Unusedimages (what you linked to) is a dynamic list, I suggest we actually list the specific images here. I for one refuse to vote when tomorrow my vote could be used to delete something I did not agree to today. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 13:34, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it makes sense to work on that list by either deleting images or adding them somewhere. Generally, I agree with Cobra, though - they probably should be discussed individually. In the case of images listed there right now, I don't see any one that "needs" to be kept besides the two you mentioned. -- Cid Highwind 13:45, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Itty-bitty, teeny-weeny screenshots

Image:Kirk\'s guards.jpg, Image:Spock\'s personal guard.jpg, Image:Tricorder-2280.jpg, Image:USS Yeager DS92.jpg

The first two don't really have a place here that I can find; you can barely make out the third image; and the fourth image seems to have been removed in favor of Image:USS Yeager DS9.jpg. --From Andoria with Love 00:25, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 00:31, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and use Image:Tricorder-2280.jpg. If it's the best we have. Someone can upload a new version if they have a better one. --Bp 01:25, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Other screenshots

Image:Mrspock-corbo.jpg, Image:Communicator.jpg, Image:Scott in Aux Ctrl.jpg

We have enough Spock photos, the second image is a bit too blurry, IMO, and I can't find a place for the third. --From Andoria with Love 00:25, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete all, but let's get a good TOS communicator under a good file name (I'm pretty sure we do not have one). --OuroborosCobra ^talk 00:32, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and use Image:Communicator.jpg, it can be replaced if you find a better one, but not delete. --Bp 01:26, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't know that it's "better", but I added Image:23rd century communicator.JPG for use on the Communicator and the "Day of the Dove" pages; it was the best shot of a prop with a working moire screen that I could find. --GNDN 04:07, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Please use lowercase extensions. If you are using windows 9x, of which this is a common symptom, enable "show extensions for known file types" and dont let it use uppercase ones, or just remember to change it when you upload the image. --Bp 04:27, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the information. I will do so in furture, but this was the file name given by MA when uploading the image. Whether that's a function of my version if IE, or something in the Wiki software, I don't know. --GNDN 18:08, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Image:Scott in Aux Ctrl.jpg: When I uploaded the image, I thought there would be enough content at Auxiliary Control Center to warrant its use. Later, I decided not to clutter the page. Later still, I noticed how blurry it was. --GNDN 04:07, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Image:Yridiantea,Eyeofthebeholder.jpg

This image is of very poor quality and is not in use. unless someone planes on using it in a article about Yridian tea i suggest it be deleted--User with a probe 07:30, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

It is already in-use at Yridian tea. It has been in-use since 18:18, 20 September 2005, when Jörg first uploaded it. --Bp 07:36, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. It is being used in Yridian tea, and has been being used in that article since September 2005. Not sure why you thought it wasn't being used. My guess you clicked "what links here". That doesn't work for images. Instead, look at the bottom of the image page, and you will see a list of articles that use it. As for the quality, this is an upload by Jörg, which means this is probably the best qualitywe can have with what was available on-screen. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 07:40, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Odd... Yes i clicked "What links here" in the toolbox and saw nothing linked to it. In this case i retract my statement. --User with a probe 07:46, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Images do not show up in the "What links here" page. Articles on which an image is placed instead show up at the bottom of the image page... if that makes sense. Oh, and keep. --From Andoria with Love 07:47, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

And I just realized I reiterated what Cobra said. Blasted edit conflicts. Blast you, Cobra! :P --From Andoria with Love 07:49, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. But that should be fairly obvious from the above now I'd think... -- Sulfur 15:27, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Fan-made reproduction of this image here. --From Andoria with Love 19:45, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - Enzo Aquarius 19:46, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
• The colors, are, yeah... Delete. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 20:33, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

• yabut, I made it. If you think it's necessary...

Impulse engine.jpg

Image:Impulse engine.jpg

Non-canon fan made image. If we want a shot like this, I'm sure we can find a screencap. We probably already have. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 03:56, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• it is a screen cap...from the Captain's Chair CD-ROM Babaganoosh 03:58, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
• OK, screenshot, but still not from a canon resource. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 04:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
• but the intent is clear, canon or not. I don't necessarily disagree with you. I'm just saying...Babaganoosh 04:54, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
• Regardless, it is a non-canon image being displayed in a canon article. It is therefore being presented as a canon image, when it is not. Delete and replace with a canon image. --From Andoria with Love 20:08, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I quote of the great and powerful Jörg:

The image has to go, as he wasn't seen in any episode or movie, just his voice was heard. --Jörg 19:55, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I therefore nominate for deletion. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 20:47, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. — THOR ^=/\= 21:09, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Oh, come on!
