[edit] Picture

What is this picture? Can't someone find a better one?

This picture is not the best because of the demeanor on the face of the model. This image is more suitable because there is no distraction, ie cinching of the belt, facial expression, etc. The edit history shows a consensus for the latter image, so perhaps we should clarify the consensus here. the_undertow talk 21:49, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

It should be Lebowski or nobody. Beve (talk) 03:13, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree with the_undertow in that the Nick image is a more educational one. Why do you think otherwise? dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 11:04, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I liked the other picture better. The current one looks kinda girly.S14sh3r (talk) 04:22, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

"It looks girly" isn't really a good reason. Please refer to the image use policy in relation to this. dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 10:03, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

The Nick guy looks like such a doofus. anon (H20) 12:19, 12 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.110.135.152 (talk)

Signing as me makes you look like one... dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 07:42, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
May I make a suggestion? I think the only picture from the (noob-filled) BRC that would be appropriate here is Daniel's, or maybe Jayron's. Nick's picture is too cheesy for the encyclopedia, as are the other two non-BRC pictures that have been added. · AndonicO Hail! 17:59, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Not sure Daniel would be please, may need to ask him. IIRC Jayron's is rather cheesy too, but I'll take another look. dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 07:42, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I like Nick's. Alternatively, the undertow's. Lara❤Love 20:59, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I like the one LaraLove added to the page. --ChetblongT C 18:33, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

That would be Nick. · AndonicO Hail! 19:02, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Randomly came accross this page while browing, I got what I think is a better image from Flickr. - i think the copyright stuff is okay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fynci Mynci (talk • contribs) 01:36, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello - could someone explain why has the picture been reverted? I saw the page just after randomly searching of Flickr, the picture appeared okay - so I thought I would add it. (pretty random reason for registering an account - but hey ,,)

The talk page seems to be about a previous pictures - I had found what appears to be a better one (and unposed at that)

Looking at the page and the history it seems that a bunch of wiki editors are using the page to show *themselves* off. How is this consensus - isn't this against wiki rules?

Is this encyclopedic? - its not a userpage or talk page or whatever. Just seems to be used for showing themselves off - surely this is wrong

After my edit was changed, i looked at the editor commenting and I found this > User:LaraLove/Bathrobe Cabal Seems a little strange - a self confessed cabal! *

Are all these characters going to get their turn in this article - getting consensus from each other?

Looking at Wikipedia:Your first article point 4 "Please don't create pages about yourself or your friends .........." Surely editing pages have similar rules?

(*note don't believe in conspiracy theories)

Thanks - and could someone explain here ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fynci Mynci (talk • contribs) 00:40, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, they're pictures of our friends, but they're also educational images that are more useful than an image of a baby, for the simple reason that adults wear bathrobes more than babies. dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 01:13, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
So far, I don't think any of the proposed images is appropriate for the article. Please, for WP:COI's sake, don't add the WP:BRC pictures, they are not suitable. Fynci, try to find an image you think we can use, and link it here to see if there's consensus (I'll try looking for one as well). · AndonicO Hail! 01:23, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Andonic, Thanks I'll try :-) Dihydrogen, I don't see how the pictures you are putting up are 'more' educational - I'm not trying to not trying to offend you - but you and your friends changing pictues sseems like a bit of game - you all taking it in turns to be on the page. I just added a picture that seemed to suit the article - obviously you disagree - I'll leave the picture as it is - don't want to get into a argument over this :-)

How about this image: Image:Bademantel.JPG. I think this image is a lot better than the alternatives. Arthena(talk) 11:05, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm fine with that. dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 11:20, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
I agree. · AndonicO Hail! 18:08, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't think COI covers the use of images. The toddler image was not appropriate for the reason DHMO pointed out. Typically, bathrobes are donned by adults, those such bathrobes are the topic of the article. Also, there is apparently a group of Wikipedians that believe it's a big deal, and dangerous, to put up images of children. As for the proposed image above, I still think Nick's is the better looking image, and not just because it's Nick. It's just a better looking image. Lara❤Love 15:59, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

It's also worth noting that this image was added way before the creation of the BRC. Lara❤Love 16:16, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

The current picture is not about a bathrobe, it's about a guy trying to look funny who happens to be wearing a bathrobe. The bathrobe is also cut off below the centre. Also, why wouldn't COI cover the use of images? If there are two conflicting interests then there is a COI. Arthena(talk) 17:46, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, I don't agree that this image being added before our "cabal" was even created makes this a COI. And I still hold the opinion that this image is far better than the current alternative. How about this, I mean, Wikipedia does have a bathrobe cabal and, while otherwise useless, we could provide a very nice image for this article. Full bathrobe, no face, no thumbs up. Just body with bathrobe. Basically what the alternative offers, only more pleasing to the eye. Lara❤Love 15:26, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I added a picture of simply a bathrobe. Not the best photography; just a basic, plain picture of a bathrobe in a bathroom. Is everyone okay with this? нмŵוτнτ 19:16, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I think that's perfect. · AndonicO Hail! 22:10, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
I created one as well: Image:BathrobeHungup.jpg Feel free to use this one if you guys would like. :) GlassCobra 22:24, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
The one currently in the article is of better quality. · AndonicO Hail! 00:26, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
I agree. bibliomaniac15 00:42, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
You guys rock. I like HMWith's because the color shows the robe off a little better... plus it's pink. Hopefully this is acceptable for all. Lara❤Love 05:16, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm fine with that, although GC's has a certain manliness about it that can't be associated with GC. Odd...:) dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 06:09, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I was hoping to add a picture of myself in a bathrobe, however I see the "bathrobe" page is already spoken for.
