I have every Legion issue published except for Adventure 247, and I would like to begin systematically scanning and uploading covers for use in other articles and for a cover gallery. To make these several hundred images the most useful and usable, I would like to establish image conventions and uniformity in size, resolution etc. I would be interested to hear other people's thoughts on the subject, particularly if its already been discussed and decisions have been made.

Off-site image linking

Do NOT link directly to off-site images - it steals their bandwidth (NB - LegionPics is not off-site, falling under the same URL, but even there you should link to the image page rather than the image.) - Reboot (SoM) talk page 09:48, 11 July 2006 (PDT)

legionoutpost.com is my own website, so there will be no one complaining about stolen bandwidth there. Since there is currently no interface to speak of for these images, I thought it would be better to link directly to the image. My intention is to contribute these images to LegionPics when Lightning Lad returns. In the meantime, if you would prefer links to to an interface, I can throw something very simple together. I dont have time to build anything of lasting value, particularly if they will be transtioned elsewhere.

Ah, right :). Sorry about the misunderstanding. - Reboot (SoM) talk page 15:26, 11 July 2006 (PDT)

Saw your sandbox, couple fo things...

Since you made the same mistake on Garth Ranzz, the current crapboot has a "Lightning Lad", no "Live Wire".

Oh, and the current disambig for the LSH cartoon is "LSH cartoon", since "cartoon" doesn't really disambig, since S:TAS and JLU are still cartoons, y'know. - Reboot (SoM) talk page 13:56, 14 July 2006 (PDT)

At the moment I'm just writing off the top of my head, not really paying attention to whether or not the links are correct. What do you think of the concept? I am envisioning one table for each era, sorted by that era's naming convention and with that era's column shaded. The column headers will link to each of the tables, and the name appropriate for that character can be listed as appropriate. I'll have a working version with the three founders built realtively soon. Please let me know your thoughts. (I'll make sure I put the correct links in, thanks for red flag!) -- Gopher 14:07, 14 July 2006 (PDT)

Take a look at the sample table now. I built both Pre-Crisis and Post-Infinite Crisis versions to demonstrate what I am envisioning. I included Shrinking Violet so that the two different versions would sort differently. That way, you can adjust the table to whatever era your are most familiar with. I will be building the Pre-Crisis version first, making it as complete as I can to included all the characters that need disambiguation (at least for those that have been created so far). Once the first is created, its a simple matter to copy and adapt for the other eras. -- Gopher 16:18, 14 July 2006 (PDT)
