I understand why not to use tags, but why do they even exist? --bjwebb 17:10, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think they were invented for blind people, but they can help just to provide information and search engine spiders use them too--drak2 17:38, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, but why have them on wikipedia, if its against the style guide?
Oh! I'm sorry, I totally misunderstood you. I thought you meant alt-text. Yeah, I agree with you and have no idea :)--drak2

[edit] It's staying for good

I'm glad this page is no longer up for deletion. Tomhongs 02:21, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The discussion hasn't actually been closed, but the page-move might make it moot. --Phil | Talk 09:00, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
Wasn't the move meant to be to Wikipedia:WikiProject Harry Potter/Images? --Jotomicron | talk 12:22, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
It is there now--drak2 13:24, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Illustrators for the books by J.K. Rowling

dsaklad@zurich.csail.mit.edu 28 November 2005
a. Who are the illustrators for the books by J.K. Rowling?... including the illustrators for all the foreign editions around the world !

b. Where around the web are there links with information about or listings of the illustrators for the books by J.K. Rowling?... including the illustrators for all the foreign editions around the world !

[edit] Is fan art acceptable?

Is fan art acceptable for article images? Perhaps images should be avoided unless screenshots are available. I.E. characters that are in the Order of the Phoenix and the Half Blood Prince should not have an image on their articles because cannon images are not available. IMO no image is better for the quality of an article than plugging fan art for aesthetic purposes. Opinions? Vanessa kelly 23:24, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree that aesthetic is not a good enough reason to justify non cannon images or data. Lag 18:14, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Questions

Are there any specific things to edit in Wikiproject Harry Potter that doesn't involve Images? I'm rather useless at those. Duinemerwen 17:49, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maintenance

This project page is a little badly maintained. Some of the pages in the "need image" list already have pretty good images. Who updates this page? Duinemerwen 17:58, 22 January 2006 (UTC) You, Me, Anyone. I have just updated some entries. --Chewie 05:02, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
