You know anything about the MBTA Boeings?

Huh, I wonder, do you have access to a camera to get images for Wikipedia (aka images of the scrapped Boeings), that is, if it is at all possible? If you want, you may want to view my collection. -Go od sh op ed 23:39, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved content from Boeing 737 into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content (here or elsewhere), Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Fork99 (talk) 05:16, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've already done the minimum edit summaries required for you. Fork99 (talk) 05:16, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

United Airlines fleet

Hello there. Regarding this article, for an image change you need a good reason. We can't just change an image just because, "The white on the previous image was gray (it's likely either underexposed or has some heavy editing to correct some lighting issues), and there's very noticeable chromatic aberration." There was nothing wrong with the old image and the new image, it was just unjustifiable to change that image. Hacked (Talk|Contribs) 03:56, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for considering my opinion :). Hacked (Talk|Contribs) 04:02, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As noted in my recent reversion - I will concede the old image has a better angle, and reverted to it. However, the old image's colors are visibly off (compare the white on it versus any of the other images in the gallery - it looks weirdly gray), and it looks out of place in the gallery compared to the other photos, which are generally better lit and show the EvoBlue livery's white as proper white. The color fringing is very noticeable as well when you open up the full-sized image, especially around the cockpit windows. Unfortunately images of United A321neo's are very few, and it has the best angle of the images on the Commons right now. I will make it a goal to replace that image once I can get a better side shot of a United A321neo, or if anyone else uploads a better quality image on the Commons. 4300streetcar (talk) 04:03, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, I do see where you are going with this grey and white color but that reason isn't enough with changing the image. Hacked (Talk|Contribs) 04:13, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If there is a higher quality image without those issues, and from an equally good angle, is that not a perfectly valid reason to change the image? There's some other images quality issues in that gallery (e.g. the 737-900ER image has some very heavy heat haze and is noticeably blurrier than the other images as a result, and is also ripe for a higher quality replacement). I'm digging around the Commons right now for an EvoBlue 737-900ER image with a good angle without those issues. 4300streetcar (talk) 04:19, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just don't see why improvements to images in articles (either in framing/angle, or in technical quality) aren't as valid a reason as any to edit articles, as much as improvements to prose are (and articles are routinely edited to improve the quality of the prose, be it in clarity or in accuracy, even in very minor ways). 4300streetcar (talk) 04:24, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:IMAGEQUALITY explicitly says to "Use the best quality images available.". MOS:IMAGES contains nothing about image quality improvements not being a valid reason to change images. 4300streetcar (talk) 05:10, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:IMAGEREL states, "Images should look like what they are meant to illustrate, whether or not they are provably authentic." MOS:IMAGEQUALITY says, "Think carefully about which images best illustrate the subject matter". The image you added might have a slightly higher quality but the angle of the shot was not the best, unlike the original ones. Just because an image has a higher quality, it doesn't mean we have to change the image. Hacked (Talk|Contribs) 14:18, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
