message: :SeizureDog's eyeshot:  vs.  In comparing the two you can see that Kasuga's image loses a lot of clarity at stub size. Even if we were to get a perfectly crisp image, the image is too detailed for that size. In this case, I believe less is more (in terms of detail)--SeizureDog 01:05, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Neither, both of them are incomprehensible at such a small size. Let's see if we can't find a better image. Ashibaka tock 02:23, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Neither Images at that small of size are very tricky, we should play around some more and see what we can come up with. -- Ned Scott 03:38, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Kasuga's new PNG she's so cute. n.n SeizureDog's pic needs a place around here though, especially since there was that much work involved! ~Kylu (u|t)  02:33, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

message: :SeizureDog's eyeshot: Conformity between stub image and template image is the norm. Plus I believe the letterbox format looks better in this template.--SeizureDog 01:05, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Part of my arguement is shot now. Anyways, I do believe that Kasuga's image should be used, I just don't think the template it the best place for it. If it wasn't for the fact that we can have her on the main page as a full image I would certainly just give in and say it deserves this spot. But I like to keep a main icon simple. Trying my hardest not to be bias, but I believe the eye serves as a better icon.--SeizureDog 01:35, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Kasuga's headshot Eye shot, while definitely common in anime, doesn't seem to really say "anime" to me when I look at it. -- Ned Scott 03:38, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

message: :Kasuga's full body: I think this can be pretty much agreed on, but figured I'd stick it as a catagory as well.--SeizureDog 01:05, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Kasuga's full body: I gotta say, I'm impressed! Very pro-looking, fits in with the other OS-tans, and still represents Wikipedia. n.n ~Kylu (u|t)  01:51, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: just a quick question, why are we using these PNGs when they are larger in file size than the JPGs?  I don't know many details on the image formats, but I also thought PNG has the potential to be the better compressed file... so I guess I'm just over-all confused.. o.O -- Ned Scott 02:54, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: PNG is lossless and JPG is lossy. The old JPG was particularly lossy, so it happened to be smaller than the PNG (which does use better compression). Ashibaka tock 02:36, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The voting has stalled and since I'm the lone dissenter I have given in and made the stub and main template images Kasuga's. However, I have removed the Kasuga image from the CotW template as there has been no true votes to put her there. For the time being, the template can be left blank, but we need ideas for what to use.--SeizureDog 23:19, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why does there need to be an image for the COTW? It is changed on a regular basis and I don't think that you have worked that out. --Squilibob 01:13, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Read above a bit. We can't use fair use images in templates.--SeizureDog 20:22, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
