[[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]]'s recent changes pointed out how some real world images of treasures are pointless, since users can just check Wikipedia for them. I agree, but only partially. Maybe we should make it a guideline that if a subject has images that are hard to find, or only very specific real world variations exist, then we should have an image on the Pikipedia article, ''if it is under a good license''. Otherwise, if it's something anybody knows of, and can instantly find in the equivalent Wikipedia article, like a watermelon, it shouldn't be included in the article. I think we should have some way of linking to an external image in this case though, for convenience's sake. Thoughts? — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:15, 5 October 2018 (EDT) | [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]]'s recent changes pointed out how some real world images of treasures are pointless, since users can just check Wikipedia for them.

:If a real-world image aids in understanding the item, it should be included in the article; not everyone is going to search another site for an image. They should be open-licensed though, which many aren't at the moment. — [[User:Botanist|'''Botanist''']]<sub>[[User talk:Botanist|''(talk)'']]</sub> 02:49, June 24, 2021 (EDT) | |||
== "Actually" == | |||
Articles on treasures and fruits say what real-world item the treasure or fruit is based on, and the way this is done varies. Most articles use "actually", for example "The [[Dual Wheeler]] is actually a pair of glasses", while some don't, for example "The [[Tear Stone]] is a tear-shaped sapphire gem". I think this use of "actually" is unnecessary and makes the sentence sound very unprofessional, but it's also very prevalent through treasure articles. Is it worth having guidelines on how to say what real-world item a treasure or fruit is, or should it be allowed to vary by article? — [[User:Botanist|'''Botanist''']]<sub>[[User talk:Botanist|''(talk)'']]</sub> 02:49, June 24, 2021 (EDT) | |||
