Comic and gear images
Hello,
I mentioned this on SeichanGrey's talk page, but I am unsure if you saw my reply. I think ReverieBot may have been a bit too quick in changing all the image licenses. There are many files on here from the comics/mangas that are cropped and/or have their speech bubble text fully wiped out, while countless gear images are renders rather than screencaps. Wouldn't these all properly qualify as CC-BY-SA, since they were edited from the original online scans of the full page? Or would the comic images follow Wookieepedia's format, where they reformatted the {Screenshots} template into {Comicpanel}? – Darman (talk) 14:10, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for the heads up! I will respond on Seichan's talk page. –ReverieCode <staff/> 14:39, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
Shay
There's recently been a disagreement over the Shay article. Today it was infinitely protected with the NPOV template being outright deleted! Users are locking the page to keep their personal sentiments on the page, playing it off as fact! I re-added the NPOV template and explained why here and here, all fell on deaf ears. Multiple claims made in that subsection are factually wrong and reads like a personal essay ranting about Shay. That stuff belongs in a personal blog, not a wiki article that millions of fans worldwide are going to read. Some help making a decision here would be good.

- As one of the parties involved in this, I would like to point out the following missing context: the site Administrator Sol Pacificus wrote Shay's "Personality and traits" section, the perspective of which Joish contests and has described on my talk page as being a "long, angry rant" and a "tirade". Sol has explained himself on Shay's talk page by noting that he does not portray Shay as an outright villain, as he does have positive traits which he also described. However, in response to this, Joish accused Sol of "clearly despis[ing] Shay's character" and said that he "[was] probably not the best person to be developing this article since [he] lack[s] the impartiality". Sol's fellow mod Soranin, seeing the accusations and unsubstantiated character attack as violating Article 1(d) of the Community Guidelines, "Conduct in debates and conflict resolution", decided to lock the page. – Darman (talk) 01:35, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
"Missing context"... both links I sent here clearly provide the full context. You also keep missing the point: Not all the "Personality and traits" section is biased, only the "Sense of culpability or lack thereof" subsection, mainly the repeated claims that he "always pinned the blame on the other assassins never acknowledged his own culpability". It doesn't matter that Sol squeezed in a few "positive traits" (heck, he was still describing Shay as "vindictive" in his so-called positive traits description). As long as the aformentioned false claims remain on the page, it's factual truth that there is bias on the page. I've explained this to you multiple times and you keep repeating the same argument, and by doing this it could certainly be argued that you're violating Article 1(d) of the Community guidelines, "Users are expected to do their best to advance the conversation and properly engage with the other parties' arguments." I've addressed everyone's points here. Furthermore, I did say that Sol was probably not the best person to be developing the article, I did not describe it as irrefutable fact. Also, telling someone they despise a video game character, especially when there's strong evidence in favour of it, is in no way an "unsubstantiated character attack".
Being disingenuous isn't helping your position here. In any case, let's just wait for Reverie to review the evidence and make his decision. For the record, I don't like Shay much myself and I do think he has his flaws, but if I see bias on his article I'm still going to point it out as I did here.
