do you wanna have a bad time?

I'm here to see what we would agree would be the best way to handle the image for the Chernobyl page I'm running through the YKTTW currently. I personally think that it should use an image of both Pripyat (the famous ghost town where the plant workers lived) and the plant itself and recommend these two images, but what does anybody else think something else should be done for it?

I like both of those.

Considering the amount of text, I think having both would work. And showing both the plant and the area is a good idea. (Also, why do so many pictures of the area seem to be post-leaf-fall pre-snowfall?)

Agreed with the above posters, both are fine.

I prefer the second one but both are fine.

Thanks for the support, though, if anybody has a way to make a combined version of the two images in a manner similar to before and after images on this very wiki, let me know and I'll use it.

Edit: Probably jumping the gun to decide to add them right away.

[up] Excellent! Now, is there anything else that needs to be done or is it fine to use these images for the page?

[up]Not so fast there, we still need like five more people to agree before using it.

[down]No problem.

I figured as much, which is why I wanted to ask.

Above: The Chernobyl Power Plant. Below: The abandoned city of Pripyat, Ukraine.

Just to give my idea of what the images and caption would look like.

Aye. The image of Pripyat is really evocative.

The black and white image I proposed I think is the most effective, but it might also go against what I was saying in people not being able to see the image and in a flash go, "oh, I know what that is." What you have there, that works.

Guess that does it. I'll add it to the page. If there are any objections, we can continue this thread. Otherwise, guess we're done here.

Yep, we're done. I've tagged the page for this thread; locking up.
