Forum:DWIA images deleted

Pursuant to T:DWIA, a purge of all images from the Doctor Who Image Archive has today been completed. This amounted to only about 100 remaining images, but a few pages were disproportionately affected. The following pages, and the character pages that flow therefrom, now desperately need editor attention:
 * The Daleks (TV story)
 * The Edge of Destruction (TV story)
 * The Romans (TV story) - check character pages particularly
 * The War Games (TV story) — well, part 10 to be precise. We're now missing pics of the Time Lords at the end.
 * Spearhead from Space (TV story)
 * The Curse of Peladon (TV story) - character pages particularly
 * The Time Warrior (TV story)
 * The Ark in Space (TV story)
 * The Sontaran Experiment (TV story)
 * Revenge of the Cybermen (TV story)
 * The Brain of Morbius (TV story)
 * The Talons of Weng-Chiang (TV story) - character pages particularly (Henry Gordon Jago and Litefoot affected)
 * Almost all of Key to Time story pages are missing a single picture.
 * City of Death (TV story) - check character pages
 * Logopolis (TV story)
 * Castrovalva (TV story) - several pics now gone, but we'll need a new pic of the Tardis Index File screen in particular
 * Timelash (TV story)
 * Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)

A few other pages have had pictures wrenched from them, but no other pages have been left substantially denuded of illustration.

Why do this?
You might wonder why it was necessary to de-illustrate so many of the classic series pages. Well, "necessary" is a strong word, but it was certainly expedient. Beyond the fact that these images came from a source we've slowly been marginalising over the years, most of the pictures just weren't that good. Almost all of them violated our basic image guidelines. Namely, they were almost all of a non-widescreen aspect ratio, when it's easily possible to obtain such a ratio. Moreover, they all came from VHS sources at best. Now that the DVD range is nearly complete — and indeed all the stories mentioned above have been released to DVD — there's no reason to keep these relatively grainy DWIA images around.

How you can help
Just pick one of the above stories from your DVD collection, rewatch it, and take snapshots along the way. Then, upload the pics and replace the deleted images. Please don't use the same filename that was there before. DWIA filenames were logical for that website, but make no sense on ours. Choose a properly descriptive filename instead.
