Why the mass upload of black-and-white duplicates of already loaded skill images? --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 13:07, 29 August 2006 (CDT)
 * they are allready uploaded? i could not find them... could you give me a link to them plz? Gumby 13:19, 29 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Just to clarify what I meant: The color versions are already uploaded, not the gray scale. Just wondering why you're uploading a whole set of gray scale versions?  Wouldn't the color versions do just as well if not better? --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 13:21, 29 August 2006 (CDT)
 * User:Dashface created a table, which shows all the elites, and has the "still need to capture" ones grayed out. He did not upload all of them, and the images are pretty small, so you can't really see which one is which... So I converted all the original skill images to grayscale and started to upload them. I just thought they could be usefull (and they are very small in size, around 2k in average) Gumby 13:35, 29 August 2006 (CDT)
 * There is a reason why the images are small. Stuff which is not helpfull to the wiki but is instead used to be fun or for the use of only one user shouldn't take too much space. This includes such images which are only used for tracking one users elite skills. So please, uplead any of the icons you may need in the same scale as the DAshfaces ones. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 13:39, 29 August 2006 (CDT)
 * I made the images intentionally so small (the original color ones are 20-30k in size) - but if you think they will be useless, then please delete them. I will stop with uploading of the others.Gumby 13:45, 29 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Actually, Gumby's versions are only about 2k while Dashface's are only around 1k - so not much bigger in file size. For those who want/need a grayscale version of the elites, I would rather these images become the standard for them, and Dashface should be asked to convert his use to these (fairly easy to resize a jpg smaller to meet his needs).  A single image of a player's character can easilly take up 50k of memory or even more, so these icons aren't a big deal in my mind. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 13:51, 29 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Oh sorry, I didn't check the file size, I just thought.... Oaky, I agree with Barek. HTe large images should stay and the small ones go. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 14:08, 29 August 2006 (CDT)
 * And this time upload a full set, not an incomplete one like Dashface. :) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 14:08, 29 August 2006 (CDT)


 * OK, I will upload all 180 of them in a day or two... Gumby 14:53, 29 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Done. Gumby 10:18, 30 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Okay, I've replaced the Gr25s with Grs on my page, and on ST47/Account, Sparticuz/Unlocked, and Tinarto/Sandbox. (Thanks for using the same naming convention, Gumby. Made it heaps easier!) Gumby's Grs are better because, not only does he have a full set, but they don't have inconsistent borders like mine did when I made them. Cleaner imagess were not available at the time. Anywhere else any Gr25s are being used, or can we delete them now? -- Dashface [[Image:Dashface.png]] 20:27, 4 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Dashface: you can check on the image page, if it is still in use (under Links) Gumby 11:44, 6 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Yes, but there happens to be upwards of one hundred images to check. It's entirely possible that someone out there is using just one and not the other hundred. -- Dashface [[Image:Dashface.png]] 09:13, 8 September 2006 (CDT)
