Forum:Wallpapers vs Screenshots for Infoboxes

Just curious on everyone's thoughts on the infoboxes, should they have wallpapers generated by the BBC in them that are often visually striking, though when scaled down to 250px are sometimes hard to make out, and are sometimes slightly abstract or screenshots that capture a 'moment' or idea from the TV story. --Tangerineduel 16:11, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd say use them, but trim the edges down a bit if it doesn't look right. The wallpapers are good because they tend to give a clear, distinct picture of the character when there may not be good screenshots of them. If there is a good, in-universe shot of a character, use it; if not, use a wallpaper instead. -<Azes13 17:09, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Wallpapers seem too give a good insight to the episode but I agree they arent always clear. I prefer just print screening Iplayer before cutting it to a square.--Skittles the hog 19:08, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

I prefer screenshots, as it's a little more valid. Occassionally a wallpaper might be better for the odd article and moments where images are scarce. The profile pages shouldnt have wallpapers, it's not like out all their appearences, there isnt at least one screenshot that's clear. Especially the 8th Doctor one.
