*** I agree - when I started adding to the category, it seemed everything and its dog had the promotional disclaimer. I definitely vote for a "Template:IMDb source", and keep this category strictly ''Heroes''-related. - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 15:14, 5 January 2007 (EST) |

Revision as of 20:14, 5 January 2007
Promoting Whom?
- I noticed that Category:Promotional Images is being added to any image that is promotional for an actor or actress (eg something from a press kit). The text of this category states The following images are promotional images used to promote Heroes. which is a subset of all the promotional images. Do we want to differentiate the two, or just change the def. of this category? --Orne 14:55, 5 January 2007 (EST)
- It's actually vaguely important that we not use it on just any image we grab from another website. Otherwise, it's pretty meaningless. I'd say anything from press kits, anything from NBC.com, and anything from the 9th Wonders galleries is promotional within the current definition.
Stuff from IMdB is more complicated: headshots are definitely promotional, but not necessarily used to promote Heroes. But not all images from IMdB are actor headshots; some are professional photos from events, some are user-uploaded captures from other shows and movies, etc. I almost think we'd be better off with a separate IMdB source template that notes that the original source of the image cannot be confirmed.--Hardvice (talk) 15:07, 5 January 2007 (EST)- I agree - when I started adding to the category, it seemed everything and its dog had the promotional disclaimer. I definitely vote for a "Template:IMDb source", and keep this category strictly Heroes-related. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:14, 5 January 2007 (EST)
