The image is copyright protected, and it doesn't match our style for alert messages. As a side note, I don't like flashing text or images.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:19, 22 April 2009 (EDT)

• I understand, and a source was given for the image. I feel the flashing image helps alert new users to important information. If you hit your esc key you can freeze the animated image. But if the other admins feel it shouldn't be used, you have my blessing to baleete it. --Piemanmoo 23:21, 22 April 2009 (EDT)
  • Yes, the flashing bothers me, but that's a separate issue. My main objection is that despite a source being given, it's a copyrighted site and we cannot use their images without permission.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:24, 22 April 2009 (EDT)
    • So then if a free alternative siren image is used, that would be ok?--Piemanmoo 23:26, 22 April 2009 (EDT)
      • Well, I still think the flashing image is a bad idea, so I will raise the issue of it being an annoyance (granted, it's not as bad as Hardvice's image...) on the community portal talk page if you replace it with another flashing image (a free alternative static image is okay). Other than that, the siren template needs to be formatted with a blurb like the other templates in Category:Messages to match our style.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:38, 22 April 2009 (EDT)
