Featured picture candidates/WonderSwan

 * Thanks again for all of these contributions. I'm wondering if we should run these on the main page individually or as a set, but we've still got a year to go before that decision has to be made. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:56, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm happy to do it, but thanks again for putting these up for nomination. I think that they should probably be put up as a set, probably?  It seems to give them a better dynamic.


 * You know, I was just at the page for the featured pictures because I was curious if anyone there was talking about the Media Viewer disaster. I'm sure that the people there would be very knowledgeable about how bad the Media Viewer is based the heavily metadata-ed infopages they come across for featured picture consideration.  It'd be great if they added their voices to the Media Viewer discussion page. - Evan-Amos (talk) 03:02, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
 * On MediaWiki? I've already weighed in, and John Vandenberg left a note at WT:POTD as well. I agree with your feedback there. I've uploaded several 50mp images (File:Tower in Taman Sari, 2014-05-19.jpg is almost 90), and nobody can (readily) get anything larger than full screen view. Not useful, at all. But yeah, I'll post at WT:FPC as well. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:10, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Thanks for giving me a heads up! I tried to think of how to improve the caption, but I couldn't come up with anything better than what you had written.  I went ahead and changed the page description to match the POTD one. Evan-Amos (talk) 03:43, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking a look. Bananagrams on the main page in... probably about two months. GameCube sometime after that. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:23, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
