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

The artwork for the first 5 entries on Characters.Scythe is pretty bad. I added the most recent 2 entries just now and found decent quality images. Do I have permission to go ahead and update the rest, or will that require a thread?
For the record, I don't even want to change the images used. It's all official artwork from the game. Just wanna update what's there:
For Anna & Wojtek:
For Gunter, Nacht & Tag:
For Zhera & Kar:
For Bjorn & Mox:
For Olga & Changa:

I've no issues with those changes.

Even accounting for Zhera and Olga not being exactly the same source image?

Lawful Neutral is pretty poor quality, and I don't like how it's cropped. May I replace it with this White Dwarf cover
which uses the same art? Someone more skilled at editing than me can edit out the text if it's distracting.

Hi
No objections here; I can take or leave the text in the corner.

The One Guy look pretty small and bad. I found a better quality version here, but the top is cut off a bit.
Hi
That's fine with me.

The image for Bubba the Redneck Werewolf is very small and looks very bad.

Are we supposed to link images here after we change them?
Hmm, very well:

Hi
The pic on Heartwarming.Yu Gi Oh VRAINS could use an upgrade.
I tried updating Always Night. Old one is horizontally squashed and vertically stretched, but the new one is blurry. Which one looks better?
Very Spooky
I prefer the old one; I honestly didn’t even realize that it was horizontally squashed.
back lolHonestly, I think the image would work better as the page quote, it's better than the current quote.
While the squashing in the old one isn't too obvious, the vertical stretching is quite noticeable, look at the text for instance. The new one is meant to be pixel-perfect, but it was processed by the wiki for being too large; maybe reducing the pixels to be 1x1 instead of 2x2 will fix that.
EDIT: Changing the resolution somehow also moves the text a bit. Anyway, here's actual pixel-perfect size. Any better?

I'd like to apologize for all this.

Yes, that's the best so far.
I guess I'll change it again, then.
Why is it called Artifacts "R" Us?

No, I meant that Artifacts "R" Us sounds like a trope name. What does it really refer to?

As I said; it's most likely a reference to Toys-R-Us. The earliest tropers were gen-Xers and older millennials. The now-defunct toy store chain was a touchstone of the youth of many of them. Alternatively, if you're wondering why "Artifact", that's this.
Hi
That, pretty much.
Proportional Article Importance badly needs an upgrade.
Looks fine to me.
Very Spooky
Upgraded Proportional Article Importance.

Katie's image on Characters.The Mitchells Vs The Machines is weirdly blurry.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
Popee the Performer was changed without discussion and a thread decided to keep the new image, but multiple people said it needs a quality upgrade.
