Divine Aura D F.jpg
I'm not sure what the deal is with the reverting that Azuredraco keeps doing. Here's the breakdown: Oct 2006 I uploaded the original pic with the correct aspect ratio. Nov 2006 Azuredraco uploaded a pic with the updated aura, but with the wrong aspect ratio. Jan 2007 I uploaded a pic with the updated aura with the correct aspect ratio.

That's basically the way it was for all 4 images of the Nightfall professions (Male+Female Paragon & Male+Female Dervish) because ArenaNet changed the divine aura after I had uploaded the original images. I never got around to updating the images for the Male Paragon and Male Dervish, but since they're using the correct aspect ratio now, I don't see any reason to change them unless I decide to redo the whole gallery. -- Gemini 24 March 2007


 * hi, you should of inquired about this earlier see Only revert once. Im guessing this is a case of someone wanting their image on the wiki. From what i can see there is nothing wrong with your image and Azuredraco image is not required. If you get reverted again, notify an admin to his behavior. -- Xeon 14:42, 24 March 2007 (CDT)


 * You're right; I should've contacted an Admin, but I'm not sure exactly how to do that. Do I just make a post on one of their talk pages?  -- Gemini [[Image:gemini-ico.gif]] 24 March 2007


 * Yes, any of those, you can see which ones are on by looking at the recent changes to see which ones are on atm. Do not bother contacting them unless he reverts again. I posted a link to this page on his talk page, so he will have no reason not to see this. -- Xeon 21:21, 24 March 2007 (CDT)


 * Hi, first of all, sorry for not posting here before, I didn't know what was going on. Things are like Gemini told. My point is that if the problem with my image was only aspect ratio, it would have been polite/nice to tell me before changing it, as he was told in his talk page. My pic was giving some new information -the new aura-, his was only giving the correct aspect ratio. I didn't know either how to contact an Admin or even talk to Gemini in first place, so my apologies again. I'll stick to what an admin says, but I needed to let someone know my reasons to revert the change. Azuredraco 04:00, 29 March 2007 (CDT)


 * It seems that one of us might be confused about the policy when it comes to overwriting someone else's image. It could be me, so let me state what I think the policy is: you should only overwrite an old image if your image shows something better or is more accurate. If that's the case, then here's the history for the Dervish image again,

As you can see, when you first overwrote my original image, you did so following the policy, because mine was of the old outdated aura. When I overwrote your image, I was also following the policy, because yours was using the incorrect aspect ratio for the gallery. When you overwrote my last image, though, you were not following the policy because there was nothing wrong with my image. You (or anyone else for that matter) had a period of about about 2 months (Nov 2006 - Jan 2007) to upload an image with the correct aspect ratio. When I checked in January and saw that the image was wrong, I uploaded one that was right. -- Gemini 30 March 2007
 * 1) Oct 2006 I uploaded the original pic with the correct aspect ratio.
 * 2) Nov 2006 You uploaded a pic with the updated aura, but with the wrong aspect ratio.
 * 3) Jan 2007 I uploaded a pic with the updated aura with the correct aspect ratio.
 * 4) Mar 2007 You uploaded a pic with the updated aura with the correct aspect ratio.

I hope you folks don't mind, but I uploaded an entirely new shot of the aura. My hope is that it 1) shows the aura more clearly since it's against a dark background and the hands are not over the body, and 2) eliminates the need for further argument or reversion. Oh, and this aura is a real pain to get a good shot of... I appreciate both your previous efforts. — HarshLanguage 22:10, 30 March 2007 (CDT)


 * Thank you HarshLanguage, much appreciated.
 * Gemini and Azuredraco, the reverting done starting on March 18th and stopping on March 29th isn't acceptable. In the future instead of reverting, re-reverting and re-re-reverting please discuss the issue on the talk page. If that doesn't help, contact an admin. If you aren't aware of the reverting policy, please read GW:1RV.
 * Gemini did start discussion on the talk page and did contact an admin, me. Azuredraco is a new user and probably not aware of all of the wiki rules and he also did contact Gemini on his talk page. Both tried to solve the problem to their best, although breaking a policy at the same time. It's good that the situation got solved and no one got hurt emotionally. :) No warning or administrative action is needed. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 04:15, 31 March 2007 (CDT)


 * Well, I was going to use a phrase like "The early bird gets the worm" or "Those who break the rules must accept the consequences" since I feel that both me and Azuredraco were trying to be the "early bird" (getting our own images on first) while both of us also broke the rules by reverting too many times. I could accept it just on the fact that I broke the rules, but when I looked at the image that HarshLanguage uploaded and compared it with Azuredraco's image and my own, his does show the aura in a better way.  HarshLanguage, my only nitpik is that your image looks a little pixelated at full size.  I assume you used a little bit more compression to get it down to only 28K.  Could you upload it again with a little bit higher quality?  -- Gemini [[Image:gemini-ico.gif]] 31 March 2007
