Talk:Thumbnail

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I suggest some graphical examples of how to thumbnail manually. The image we have on the page could do. Crop it to a significant part and put the two together.

Shouldn't there be a mention of where the term thumbnail comes from? Or, for that matter, the actual nail that covers one's thumb?

[edit] Merge from thumbshot?

Isn't a thumbshot exactly the same as a thumbnail? However, the latter seems much more widely used:

There don't seem to be any objections to this, so I'm merging the articles. Jon Olav Vik 11:29, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Oops *blush*. As I re-read the Thumbshot article to merge it, I realized there was indeed a difference, and a big one at that. I'm removing the merge suggestions and getting out of here 8-). Jon Olav Vik 11:34, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
