 * As you've been working on this, Menk, I've been wondering: Should the infobox show the adult Lumpy instead of the child Lumpy? I mean, we don't show 8-year-old Anakin in his infobox, and the Ahsoka infobox was recently changed to show the more "mature" version of her. The only reason I can think of to not use the adult Lumpy image is that it's painted while the kid image is live-action. I could honestly go either way on this, but I'd lean toward the adult image myself. I was just curious what you (and others) thought. ~ SavageBob 15:27, March 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's definitely a good question. The only image of adult Waroo we have is from the Japanese cover of Hero's Trial, so I guess it would be the contender. Truthfully, though, I don't think it looks that different than Holiday Special-aged Lumpy --- maybe a few years older, but not really the lanky, powerful and tall Waroo that's described in Inferno and Fury. Using it would be, IMO, like using this image or this image for Han's infobox --- a few years older but not really noticeably so. The live-action image vs. illustrated image argument is a tricky one with no real defined parameters, but I've always seen live-action images used even if illustrated images of the character at an older age exists (such as in Wedge Antilles, Kyle Katarn, Luke Skywalker, etc). Granted, those characters were a bit older than Lumpy in their live-action appearances, but, again, I'm not really convinced that there's enough of a difference between this image and this image to warrant the change. Thoughts? Menkooroo 15:53, March 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * In contrast to some of the examples you cite above, the difference here is that we've got a child image vs. an adult image, rather than an adult image vs. an older adult image. In this case, I would lean toward the adult image, even though in this case the artist is clearly basing the depiction on the Holiday Special still you're using in the infobox. It's not a big deal, which is why I put it down here rather than as an objection, but it is something to consider, I guess. ~ SavageBob 21:24, March 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Personally, I prefer live action images over same-quality animated images, and animated over drawn/painted. As long as both contenders are of relative quality, I would prefer the live action image. MasterFred Commerce Guild.svg(Whatever) 16:41, March 22, 2011 (UTC)
