{{EO|time=01:15, 4 December 2014 (UTC)|thinking=I've always been apposed to the existence of those images on the Wiki. They serve no real purpose, other than to show a now inactive user's ability to animate the games' renders. They are merely inferior to the official renders; I think that favoring our users' material over what is provided to us by Square Enix makes us seem a bit full of ourselves, to tell the truth. We're basically saying, "Look what we did, guys!" The official images aren't being used on any articles other than character galleries, and that's not okay with me. All I know is whenever I tried to replace the unofficial renders in the past, those who were too attached to the fan-posed ones kept saying, "We don't care about the policy. It doesn't apply to boss pages because I say so." I think the user was KrytenKoro, who also is now inactive. Images such as the ones of Xemnas's dragon form are perfectly fine for use on the article, since it illustrates something Square Enix has provided us no official image for. But to use a fan-posed T-render of Xemnas over the official renders from ''KHII'' and ''Days'', that is truly inappropriate to me. Gameplay articles where we list boss strategies and such are still articles, no matter what their content. Otherwise they would not be in mainspace, where we use ONLY OFFICIAL MATERIAL, last time I checked. "They're higher quality" and "They look cooler" are not good enough excuses, to me at least, to justify the use of the "action renders."}} | {{EO|time=01:15, 4 December 2014 (UTC)|thinking=I've always been apposed to the existence of those images on the Wiki.

{{RikutheBloody|time=13:05, 4 December 2014 (UTC)|Talktive=We will use the current images until we find other action renders with good quality, (and preferably, different from the ones on the actual page). But, if we go by the "Rules are Rules" rule, then you, can hurry to find anything else that replaced the images that you are not comfortable with. This is just my opinion, if you disagree, post your complaints on a forum page. Please, and thank you.}} | {{RikutheBloody|time=13:05, 4 December 2014 (UTC)|Talktive=We will use the current images until we find other action renders with good quality, (and preferably, different from the ones on the actual page).

Hey, sorry, I was gone by the time you asked me how many you needed to submit, but the answer is one. You only need to submit one trivia fact. You have two days! {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 23:39, 5 December 2014 (UTC) |
