==Picture is bad taste==--DearPrudence 18:53, 11 November 2007 (UTC) I believe showing a picture of a child with a black eye is simply poor taste. Why a child? 63.100.44.98 01:29, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree. --DearPrudence 19:24, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I think a better picture of a black eye could be used. The current one is too grainy and hard to look at.

I've reverted the new image, as the image quality isn't much better as it is surrounded by a large black border of some kind. Some cropping would be ideal. I myself am the actual person with the black eye in the current article. I'm happy to provide a higher resolution image of the injury. Gimme a few days ;) -- Longhair | Talk 07:50, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

I could add a picture. My best friend just (accidentaly) gave me a black eye. Bandgeek100 20:00, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

That picture makes me want to cry :( 74.129.182.66 08:14, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Have we still not yet found a better picture? --DearPrudence 00:57, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

A child? c'mon. Sorry, but the picture has to go. B 20:22, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. We should still find a replacement, though. Does anyone happen to have a picture they can upload? --DearPrudence 00:59, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Seems the photo of me as an child has been removed. I can see how for some people this would be disturbing (ie child abuse), but I can assure you the injury was completely an accidental. Two-year-old me running around and tripped over off a balcony. Didn't seem to affect me that much. Evil Monkey - Hello 08:58, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't think anyone was worried about the possibility of the injury being deliberate; it's just upsetting to see a child in that state, even if it was accidental. --DearPrudence 18:53, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] removed treatment

We are not doctors, or at least that is not the goal of the site. I've removed the treatment section. If it can be sourced properly and written, perhaps we can have it. But as is, it is inappropriate for the article.

I'll probably rewrite it. Mercury 22:21, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nicknames?

Worth adding it's known as a "Shiner" also? 77.99.186.110 (talk) 01:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
