Talk:Image (disambiguation)

Merge from Image
The image article isn't much more than an elaboration of the wiktionary entry. Its talk page already has several suggestions to that effect and that it should be merged here. So, let's do it?


 * Support of course, since it's my suggestion. Dicklyon 06:46, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Additional plan: Let make a new article image (artifact) to hold some of the contents of the present image, move the rest of its alternative meanings into the disambig page, and move that to image. OK?


 * OK, since it's my idea. Dicklyon 16:46, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Marginally support, but only if the Image (artifact) article takes its place. (Actually, I do NOT like it, but it seems inevitable...) This *is* going to cause some headaches, because quite a few photography and software articles are linked to Image. Of course the subsequent "Image (artifact)" article would require work to bring it up to our generally high standards. Is there a way to tell what is currently linked to it? Is there a bot that can handle fixing the links? Badly Bradley 18:47, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Is it OK if I now oppose my original idea? It seems like more trouble than it's worth, and nobody seems to care much. Dicklyon 18:59, 30 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, all right, if you must. But I'd still like to know: Is there a way to tell what is currently linked to it?  Is there a bot that can handle fixing the links? Badly Bradley 23:41, 30 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, there's a "What links here" link on the left, in the "toolbox" area, on every page. Dicklyon 00:34, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I support a merge - it is linked to the disambiguation page, but Image:Talk has a suggestion to add 'disk image' for computer science.195.137.93.171 23:21, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Artifact ?
Would need further disambiguation - "many words have two meanings". In photography, an "Image artifact" is something that wasn't present in the real original object: grain, pixellation, compression artifacts, lens flare, distortion, defocus, movement blur, dust ... However, I guess you mean 'a created thing' - painting, photo, computer file - as opposed to the ephemeral image formed by a lens, or even a mental image !
