File talk:Yamato Manga Infobox.png

Background
I do not think that a render or transparent background would detract from the quality of the image for the purposes of the infobox. The actual focus of the image is Yamato, and Yamato is unaltered. The background hasn't been altered so much as removed so that it isn't a distraction from the main focus of the image. I can understand having a rule in place for the purpose of stopping fan drawn images or fan-colored images from being used as misrepresentations of a character or Oda's artwork, but I do not believe that an official image which has had the background simply not included should qualify as that. I'd like to request that the version of the image with the transparent background be used. Damage3245 (talk) 17:06, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

As far as backgrounds go, the pink area and Japanese text aren't particularly distracting elements that require removal. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 17:35, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

It seems both versions have been edited to remove Luffy and the railing from Oda's original illustration, with the missing parts of Yamato's body redrawn for the Vivre Card. This being the case, the image needs to be reverted to the revision with the beige background. 20:40, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

I don't see how we can say that the primary image for Yamato's appearance is truly improved by including Luffy's elbow directly across Yamato's front and blocking off even more of her image with what appears to be a piece of ship. Even if you're going for maximum consistency above all else, including quality, I believe that the rules concerning this are being too restrictive and we're putting more importance on purity than quality of the wiki. I would like to open a discussion on changing the wording of that rule. Damage3245 (talk) 22:08, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

That image isn't just removing backgrounds. It removes Luffy entirely then redraws the missing parts which qualifies as fanart. SeaTerror (talk) 02:56, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

The redrawn image is used on Yamato's Vivre Card, which makes the changes to the image canon, not fan art. The changes just weren't drawn by Oda, which I assume is the issue. DewClamChum (talk) 03:36, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
