Talk:Funk B

Image
Because Ahunt insists we use the article talk pages, on what merits is this image better than this image, aside from the flashy colors? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 20:44, 30 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Since we seem to have posted in two places at once this is a duplicate of my post at User talk:Ze-dan.


 * The Funk B images are obviously a judgement call as they are similar views, both on the ground. I think the yellow Funk currently in the info box is slightly better as a lead image because it shows the plane's profile a bit better and also because of the colouring. If you switch the images you will find that the bright colours cause you to see that image first regardless of where it is on the page, mostly because the other image is very dull-coloured on a dull-coloured background and doesn't draw the eye. But the determining factor for me was that the yellow Funk image is facing left (into the page), while the other one is facing right (off the page). While MOS:IMAGELOCATION specifies this for images of people, the same general aesthetic principle applies to aircraft images as well. Combined these reasons make the yellow Funk image a slightly better choice for the lead. You will note that neither of these images were contributed by me. In fact the Saskatchewan Western Development Museum photo in that article is one I took. I don't go around claiming my images are better than anyone else's. As you can see though I had restored the yellow image after it had been deleted with no explanation. If he had put the beige Funk in the infobox and moved the yellow one down and made a logical edit summary that explained the choice then I might have not challenged that decision. - Ahunt (talk) 20:59, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Similar in appearance to a Piper Cub?
I guess "similar" is in the eye of the beholder, but other than a tailwheel and a high wing these aircraft don't appear similar to me at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.77.163.50 (talk) 15:33, 12 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for pointing that out. I agree it is not a good comparison, so I have removed it. You could say it is similar to a lot of light aircraft, but it doesn't add much to the understanding of the subject to do so. - Ahunt (talk) 19:43, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
