Talk:Sheik/Archive 1: Difference between revisions

:::These articles are only summaries of the character in their series. And the articles are relevant since Sheik is in Smash, and since she's in Smash it makes sense to have an article that is about her canon appearance in the Zelda games (not in depth like Zelda Wiki, but a brief summary of the character). And since this is about her appearance in the Zelda games and not Smash, as Red and I have stated, the image should reflect the game(s) she's actually appeared in regardless of conceptual designs.

::::Actually, these articles are not summaries of the characters in their series. They are summaries of the fighters in the Smash series as a whole. You don't read about Sheik's role in Ocarana of Time. You see sections about Melee, Brawl and SSB4. Pages like Sheik (SSBB) are subpages that have more detailed info and data about the playable fighter in that game. If it was about Sheik's role in Ocarana of Time, it wouldn't belong here. You can find that page at Zelda Wiki. Anyway, I think I might have something to do with it. I did you guys to replace the Villager  picture that show his artwork from New Leaf with the one from City Folk that resembles more like his Smash appearance. I think because of that change, we got this problem. There seems to be a reason why we use the artwork from their series. It's not because it's an article about the character as he/she appears in his/her own series, but so that they don't share the same profile pic as their recent fighter subpage. And I do think that each general character page should use the artwork that's the closest to Smash. However, in my opinion, concept artwork of a an appearance that didn't happen isn't a great choice of profile pic. Sure, the OoT pic is missing a few bandages, and Sakurai based her appearance on concept art. But I prefer the Oot artwork. I'm on Ixbran's side about having the artwork of characters closer to their Smash design, but I'm also on Chuck's side of not using concept artwork of a cancelled appearance.
