Pages needing quality upgrades: Sandbox.Artifacts R Us

Go To

This thread will be to list pages whose pics are fine as is but are needing quality upgrades, so we don't take up space in the forum with individual threads for them.

Swapping a pic with a better-quality version is a free action, as is swapping a pic with a larger identical version to fit the new image size criteria (800px minimum width). If there are more changes in the proposed swap (e.g. less text, slightly different coloring or crop), however, you might want to post here first.

Resources:

Please add pages that need work to the following Sandbox page: Artifacts 'R' Us

[up] From what I've seen, if we were to use one of the soundtrack covers, only The Best Day Ever's one would be really suitable. Many of the other covers are either close-ups of Spongebob's face (in the case of Original Theme Highlights and the Greatest Hits album), too closely tied to a specific part of the franchise (in the case of the movie soundtracks, the Kamp Koral soundtrack, the Christmas album and the Broadway Musical album) or use really basic cover art (in the case of The Yellow Album).

In my opinion, I would personally stick with a better quality version of the current image. However, using The Best Day Ever's cover is always a viable alternative. It really depends on what people think.

The screenshots are a bit fuzzy and the bottom one has a grey gradient on it, I couldn't find the exact same frames but I did find close ones from the same scene would anyone mind me switching it to this:

That’s perfectly fine, and I think the frames used in the upgrade actually work a little better in terms of being illustrative.

The current on Literature.Anne Of Green Gables isn't very good quality wise. I managed to find a higher quality version with the title and all, might I suggest swapping it.

Directed from a thread; The page for Estelle is not very high-quality. Any possible replacements.

Edit: NVM, it was replaced, ignore this post.

Greedy Jew's image is a little fuzzy, and the Jew's face is hard to discern.

At this size, grabbing a smaller crop would work for a proportionally bigger subject at the same 300px width.

I wanted to know if it would count as a quality upgrade if I swapped the top image of Transformers Film Series – Megatron with this version that has the white background removed:

Or if I would have to start a new thread.

Wanted to know if I could count this as an image quality upgrade since the current Literature.Omniscient Readers Viewpoint page image is a bit blurry and I managed to find a relatively more HD version from the official fan wiki that i added to Image links a few days ago.

For Smash Melee's Moments pages, we voted to keep its page on its Awesome Moments page. However, the image is stretched vertically from its native ratio, which is a big pet peeve of mine. Same goes for its Nightmare Fuel page, in addition to being a bit blurry.

I went into Dolphin and took some high-quality screenshots to replace the old images. How are these?

Those are straightforward upgrades and unambiguously look better.

On a different note: A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors looks pretty bad, but I'm struggling to find a proper upgrade.
