Image:Clothoid param.gif‎ (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Gutzmer (notify | contribs).
  • Orphan image; removed from two articles as apparently misleading -- certainly not a clothoid, but does not appear to be an example of a clothoid loop, either. Shows polar coordinates, but does not have a specified formula. Of dubious encyclopedic relevance without an explanation as to exactly what this depicts.

It is none of those things. It is an image created by ShieldDane for use on my user page. People's user pages are full of "unencyclopedic" images expressing their opinions. Is it any less encyclopedic than this image Image:Icanbitenewcmrs.jpg on Fut.Perf.'s user page? TharkunColl (talk) 11:17, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You can't really compare a cat to that image. Rudget. 11:28, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A link I have used as part of a debate on the Muhammad talk page itself. It is a legitimate subject for discussion. TharkunColl (talk) 11:42, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Whatever you put up on your own website is completely up to you, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that millions of people access each day, if someone was to see that image and become offended, they could cause the project to experience serious distruption.

Oh dear, someone appears to have deleted the image after just an hour or two of discussion. TharkunColl (talk) 13:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's the only picture of Egil One-Hand there is. Plus it's free. Do you want me to color it? ShieldDane (talk) 15:31, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also it shows his unique physical feature for which he is named for, which is helpful to the folks at home. ShieldDane (talk) 15:35, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If this were a picture drawn by a famous artist, or a picture displayed in a notable location, it would be different. This looks more like something drawn in a few minutes during school. It lacks composition (the feet are missing - is that how he looked?) and it is disproportional (the eyes are the same width as the shins). I'm sorry to sound harsh, but it does not look professional. – jaksmata 15:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What can I say, I'm not very good at drawing feet? As for proportions in art..Well I can head over to cubism and show you worse? I understand your reasoning, but he has a sword for an arm, and I feel it adds to the article that are you are able visually recognize that right off the bat. ShieldDane (talk) 16:21, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I read the article you posted..and "Pictures have enjoyed a broad exception from this policy, in that Wikipedia editors are encouraged to take photographs or draw pictures or diagrams and upload them, releasing them under the GFDL or another free license, to illustrate articles.", seems to fit my picture, as it does illustrate a point about the article. Am I allowed to vote? ShieldDane (talk) 16:25, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You are certainly allowed to vote. My opinion shouldn't count more than anyone else's, and it's only an opinion. If consensus is to keep it, so be it. Good luck to you. – jaksmata 19:20, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • KeepDelete. It's what the artist says it is, is used to illustrate what must be a notable subject, and does not seem to be a violation of Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. I'd update the image's summary text to be more NPOV but am not sure what the Wikipedia rules are. Do you credit the artist by name or is it an anonymous "user submission" (I know the uploader's wiki account is visible). ShieldDane, a black and white line drawing is fine unless the character's colors are an important part of the story line. Marc Kupper (talk) (contribs) 19:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This image is already on Wikipedia and can be used to illustrate articles about Egil. Also, it seems that there are no precise descriptions of where Egil's arm was cut, how the sword was mounted, nor how he looked meaning the drawing could be considered "original research" given it's the artist's interpretation of how Egil may have looked.

  • Delete It is a poor quality drawing, and has no inherent encyclopaedic value. It is unnecessary to illustrate the article with somebody's guess as to what this legendary character might have looked like. A "[p]erfectly accurate" representation? I think not. BencherliteTalk 22:10, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Of the Sword-Arm, an accurate representation of the Sword-Arm. ShieldDane (talk) 00:23, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Are you REALLY sure Fut perfect? All I've seen from you is the creation of ton of situations where you've had innocent people blocked. I've proved I'm not a puppet, neither sock nor meat, even though I had to take a block i didn't deserve for it. And I don't think you even gave Viligent darkness a chance. ShieldDane (talk) 02:41, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Vigilant Darkness was still a meatpuppet, even if they were not a sock. Fut.Perf. 07:22, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am pretty sure it was established he was not. ShieldDane (talk) 08:33, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's not unused, Future perfect keeps removing it from the page it is on. I get the feeling they decided since it looked like things were heading south here, that they'll just delete it from the page. ShieldDane (talk) 02:39, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The image is a poor quality, childish scribble with no merit. And we don't need images of fictional entities anyway. There's no use showing what a fictional character looked like. A fictional character has no looks at all, unless art history has endowed him with some, through a tradition of notable pictures. This image adds no encyclopedic information at all, apart from matching some adolescent boy's stereotyped conception of a generic fierce warrior, plus a some indistinct scribble where the right arm should be. Fut.Perf. 07:20, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm curious, how long does this vote go for? Until Future Perfect gets enough to delete it? ShieldDane (talk) 08:34, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Normally five days, and the final judgment will be made by an administrator other than me. Fut.Perf. 09:06, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's not original work. That's cutting and pasting together images found on the internet - called a derivative work. Original work is when you use a camera and take a picture yourself, or you draw something yourself. – jaksmata 13:48, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
