Talk:Pixel art

message: This article presents a multitude of fundamental issues; From the way it's categories are organized, to the incorrect style, prose and focus. Most of the images are not representative of the topic, there is a severe lack of citations and scarcity of reliable sources, there are random mentions to completely niche examples and a multitude of redundant information that is already covered in other pages.
I'm starting a major reconstruction to solve all of these issues, so the page may change drastically during the coming weeks, or even months. Any help is appreciated, specially with citations and references, since most of the problems outlined are a consequence of user generated content that isn't reliably sourced.
List of major issues:
* Lack of focus on the main subject (Pixels as an art form, not Pixels themselves or niche technological details. That is already covered in Pixels)
* Unnecessary focus on history, when there is already an extensive article covering computer graphic's history. The section should focus the history of Pixels as an art form, not of all computer graphics in general (Thus, it should be expected to be considerably smaller)
* Lack of information on actual unique and fundamental aspects of it, particularly in the Techniques and Uses sections.
* The page's format and style is inconsistent within itself, and with Wikipedia's own guidelines.
* Lack of proper citation and proof of relevance for most items in the Software list.
* Lack of proper citation and proof of relevance of the entire communities section.
* The page should probably have a much bigger focus on the use of Pixel art in video games, as that has been its primary function since the very beginning. It currently doesn't even have a section outlined for it.
* Most images are not representative of Pixel art as a whole, and they lack in quality.
* The article needs a decent thumbnail image that actually represents the subject and what people associate to it.
This section may be updated as these issues are resolved and new ones arise.
Note: I have archived all previous conversations as most of them are ancient, and don't even apply to the current state of the article. The ones that do apply will soon become addressed since the issues they rise are contained within this reconstruction project anyway. Consider this as a summary of all the tasks at hand.

message: I was surprised by the fact this article doesn't mention Minecraft (2011) even a single time, despite the fact it is one of the most famous video games of all time and uses pixel art for all the items, blocks, and creatures. Is it excluded because of technicalities around "pixel" vs "voxel", or some other reason? NicolinoChess31415926 (talk) 01:17, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: If a reliable source about pixel art mentions Minecraft, then it can be used to add such a mention. —⁠andrybak (talk) 02:14, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
