Forum:Manga vs. Anime images

Okay, this is showing up as a major problem. From the looks of it, User:MasterDeva is constantly reverting anime images back to their manga counterparts because the anime did it differently. Two images in question are File:Whitebeard Breaks Akainu's Ribs.PNG and File:Shirohige dead.JPG.

What is the wiki policy on images? I would like a little bit of consistency; it's jarring to look in a character's history and see the images go from anime, to manga, back to anime, back to manga, and back to anime again. The Pope 21:36, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

I believe MasterDeva did it because some anime replacements are (even if shiny and colored) not sufficient enough to transport the message we get from the manga. Whitebeard is probably the best example, since it is a HUGE difference if half of his head is burned off by Akainu, or just his mustache. I think this wikia agreed that the manga always has priority over the anime, since the latter has to deal with censorship and the likes - not to talk about the fact that the manga is drawn by Oda himself. Only if the shiny anime picture gives the same impression as the manga, it can/will be changed (makes sense to me). Of course things can and will always change. The agreements from years ago might not be the best solution today - considering that many of the old contributers left and/or are inactive.

Maybe it is time to talk things over again, mainly to prevent edit wars.

But anyway, my "solution" would be to use the manga/anime difference section for the manga pictures, and the anime counterpart for the article. This way we have both worlds covered. It also adds a nice "aha!"-effect to the manga/anime difference section.Jinbe 11:26, February 18, 2011 (UTC)
