Okay. I was told by thekillerfroggy to put this here to gain consensus, so here it is. Right now what I'm requesting to do is a complete replacement of all old notice images with newer ones. Main examples of this include:

to

, , and to , , , , , , or 64px depending on the usage.

All I need to start replacing images is approval from the community. So approve!!  Dylanlip  (talk) 13:03, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia has gotten well ahead of us on the quality of some of their images, so I'm all for making us look a bit more modern. MrN  Fork you! 13:07, Jul 9

Looks good. Only thing is, I'd like to keep the bio-hazard/nuclear hazard symbols, or maybe approve them. Other than that, good job. ~ 13:18, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

What Mordillo said. Except with "improve" where he put "approve", because I'm a nit-picking bastard like that. --UU - natter 13:24, Jul 9

Okay. I've added a new image which should cover some of the scope of the hazard symbols.  Dylanlip  (talk) 13:33, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Um, it's still not a bio-hazard or nuclear symbol... I actually got thrown off-stage by one of Biohazard's bouncers at a gig once, apropos of nothing. --UU - natter 13:39, Jul 9

Okay. Instead of a triangle for the Biohazard symbol, how about the official biohazard label?  Dylanlip  (talk) 13:50, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Or how about the triangle? --UU - natter 13:52, Jul 9

Nice find! That looks perfect.  Dylanlip  (talk) 13:54, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Now where is my god damned nuclear sign?! ~ 13:58, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Hang on stop everything. This Village Dump post appears to actually be being genuinely constructive and useful to the wiki. What the fuck do you people think you are playing at eh? MrN  Fork you! 14:01, Jul 9

prefer the octagon to the circle, but otherwise all cool... Pup

Here we go, one nuclear symbol for Mr Dillo. --UU - natter 14:37, Jul 9

(ec) Note how after the circle it says "depending on the usage".  Dylanlip  (talk) 14:12, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I've now added more colors for the new triangles to match with the various colored templates.  Dylanlip  (talk) 14:23, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I am a fan of everything that Mordillo is, and not a fan of whatever Mordillo said was bad. Woody On Fire! Talking Woody Stalking Woody 14:37, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, the nuclear sign has now been taken care of. Are you happy now Mordillo?  Dylanlip  (talk) 14:50, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm never truly happy unless I'm making matzah bread out of a Christian kid's blood. ~ 18:48, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Glossy. Looks like we have finally caught up with the fashion, huh? -- The Colonel (talk) 16:20, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I approve them all! —Flutter Tuwoolookie! | My History | Brute! 18:56, 16 July 2009

Everything looks great

Is that a true story about getting bounced at a Biohazard show UU? -OptyC Sucks! CUN15:02, 9 Jul

Yes. Actually, it was at the Monsters of Rock in 199something. They did their usual trick of inviting the crowd up on stage. About 50 of us quickly accepted this kind offer, and many more people looked set to follow. So the festival organisers got cold feet, cut the power and sent out fucking massive bouncers to chuck us offstage. The one who got hold of me took that literally, and threw me from the stage across the barrier and into the crowd. Because that's less dangerous than having me standing on a stage, obviously. So I went off to the other stage and joined the rest of the crowd in throwing things at Nuno from Extreme. Good times. --UU - natter 15:07, Jul 9

Dude, awesome story. Please tell me it ends with you hitting Nuno somewhere painful with something that'd leave a mark. -OptyC Sucks! CUN15:12, 9 Jul

The guy next to me got him on the shoulder with a plastic bottle filled with piss, if that helps... --UU - natter 15:14, Jul 9

Yes, yes it does. When you write your memoirs I recommend it was you who hit him with the piss bottle. -OptyC Sucks! CUN15:16, 9 Jul

WHY has this not become an UnBook yet? Woody On Fire! Talking Woody Stalking Woody 15:27, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Because it loses some cachet when he tells you what band he was actually seeing. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 16:46, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Damn you Modus, do you have spies everywhere? --UU - natter 10:04, Jul 10

Don't be stupid. I only have them in the places you least expect. Damnit! You've ruined my plan. Now I have to move them all to some other place. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 10:15, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

I say the triangles look great, except the last biohazard one looks really sharp and angular... everything else seems fine, though. Instead of going 'round and replacing all the images, which is a tonna work, I'll unprotect whatever's protected and you can simply re-up from there. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 18:12, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I'll re-up the stop hand, Biohazard, Radioactive, octagon, and - signs. The triangles will be done by hand due to the varying colors. Oh yeah, and the stop hand is still protected.  Dylanlip  (talk) 18:23, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it's a very prolific and sensitive image. I wanted to get your response first before I unprotect it, so you could do it as quickly as possible and I can reprotect it again >_> I'm hella protective of the stop hand like dat. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 18:29, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

The thing with the stop hand is that the original file is a png. The new one is svg. Help please!!!  Dylanlip  (talk) 18:35, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Also, File:Octagon-warning.png is still protected.  Dylanlip  (talk) 18:38, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay. I'm gonna have to do everything by hand right now since there's a conflict with the file types on most of the images.  Dylanlip  (talk) 18:41, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Ahhh, damn, don't think you'll be able to re-up then. Suppose you'll have to do some mass replacement then :/ -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 18:43, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Ah I don't mind. I'm home for summer, so I have all day.  Dylanlip  (talk) 18:48, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Probably a job for a bot! It'd probably be quicker learning how to use one and then doing it that way than doing the entirety of it by hand. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 22:15, 09 Jul 2009

I was thinking about putting these links here for the yellow triangles with black symbols, but sadly, I was blocked at the time.

These all look nice but do you really think we need all of them such as danger of falling into hole?(3)-- GBA2005 I Want You! 14:43, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

What about the birdhand image?

Should we replace it? The birdhand image doesn't work properly. |Si Plebius Dato' (Sir) Joe ang Giratina CUN|IC Kill | 10:48, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

No, but what about the UnBooks logo? |Si Plebius Dato' (Sir) Joe ang Giratina CUN|IC Kill | 05:22, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

"Stuck" Template Image

I have to say, the images for {{stuck}} are a bit unoriginal and stolen from Wikipedia. I think we should get new ones or modify them to be original. Also, congrats on my new sig!--Almost Sir Random Crap

Are you congratulating everyone else for not having your sig? • Spang • ☃ • talk • 02:02, 18 Jul 2009

I certainly would. Staircase CUN^t 02:40, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Although on a serious note I have no skill whatsoever at making SVG images - I have been using bmp since I was... ummm... whenever bmp first got introduced anyway... scary enough I remember how we used to make images work on CGA format in as close to photo realism as we could manage... God, I feel old... anyway, who can do an SVG light globe and an SVG talking box/smiley? Pup t 07:59, 18/07/2009

One grammar mistake and I start a sig war....I love this! Also, congrats on my new stolen sig! Bad Led11344 Cock!
