[edit] jpg files

any reason these are all jpg? should they be left that way? --- Collin - (^T/C) 05:32, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

JPGS are for photo and video images, screenshots should always be PNGs. I'm not sure of the technical reasons, but they just look better. Tom explaned it all to me like a year and a half ago, but I forgot everything that he explained, besides the basic principle that it should be that way. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 05:41, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

meh, thats cool. i'll remember that. good think i asked before i went on a converting spree. --- Collin - (^T/C) 05:52, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Here's a better answer with links if you want a better explanation. It's come up before, originally being discussed around a year and a half ago. For further reading, check on over [[Wikipedia:JPEG}JPEG|here]]. But as a general rule of thumb, if it's a screenshot of the website, it's a PNG. If it's a photograph of something that hasn't been converted to flash, then it's a JPEG. I'm not sure if it's ever been written in stone under the HRWiki policy, but I'll look into it. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 05:55, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

EDIT: Found the offical HRWiki page, I'm currently in the process of making it a bit more visible. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 06:15, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm still a little confused on something though, occasionally in the flash on the website there is a video or a photo.. its still in the flash, but its an actual pixel photo. pixel as in normal flash is vector and the video is not. why should these still be PNG? those are really photo or video, although they are technically a screenshot of flash.--- Collin - (^T/C) 06:23, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Tom showed me this image to illustrate his point, which made sense to me. Even if it's a video, it's still in flash, and taking a screenshot of it will still look better as a PNG. That's the best I can explain it. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 06:28, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Companies

[edit] Smallbu pics

Regarding this edit summary I'm not sure exactly what kind of pictures are desired, but the Small-Buteras are here, Lindsay Small specifically is here, and this is their studio logo.

There's also images representing Toby Fox (the presumed identity of "U.Z. Inu) online. -50.234.189.45 05:14, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

There'd be no point adding Toby Fox, for all we know this "U.Z. Inu" is merely a fan of theirs who takes their pseudonym after them. Guybrush20X6 14:35, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Fair point

[edit] Paul and Storm

Should Paul and Storm be listed under bands? It’s made of some of the former members of da Vinci’s notebook, but Paul and Storm are a distinct band. -50.234.189.45 13:26, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

[edit] 3-Dee

I may have been a little hasty with "not a real band" judgement on 3-Dee but I still think this page isn't the right place to feature them. The wiki doesn't even have a proper 3-Dee article (just one of their songs) and doesn't give context or details on the band, compared to every other contributor. Since so little about the band is covered on the wiki The Brothers Chaps' Side Projects is a better place to link it. -- Bleu Ninja 22:12, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
