Sorry, I already voted without asking this question as it didn't hit me until just now. Because my vote is already accounted for, am I not supposed to vote in this poll? Or for that matter anyone who's name has appeared on Oni's list?

Because you already voted, you SHOULD vote in this poll. Oni plans to subtract 13 votes from the results of this poll for some retarded reason he has been unable to explain. He also hasn't been able to explain how he plans to subtract the votes.

Actually, this is what I think it meant. I believe it meant we could vote in this poll, just that we didn't have to post our reasons WHY, as we've already had that discussion. So anyone on that list just doesn't have to post why they voted the way they did.

Anyway, to anybody else out there, please decide carefully and accurately to what you want, as in this "Ministry of Love" we have set up, the votes are "democratic". "believe in the doublethink!"

Rectifier, as I understand you voted for Use gallery for covers and chapters for inlines only, which does not mean separate pages for each, but actually just have a cover and color images while non-color ones will be left out, though you sound like you wanted to have a separtee but still noth non-color and color images uploaded for all to see on the main page, in which case you should have voted for an option number 3.

It's a famous phrase in American history for when they decided "separate but equal" should be the norm for restrooms, schools, etc. Since then things have obviously changed for the better; I just said it in my previous post to allude to the use of segregation in one of the poll options.

P.S. Because we all know Oni is secretly pro-segregation :roll: . Yep, just divide the masses into seperate but equal communes for the wiki-communist confederate republic.

It may sound a little biased, but i like the way the pics are posted on one area, and also inserted in the translations like in Kaze no Stigma(maybe coz it is like my project?)

So... may i vote on that? and which choice in the poll should that be?

Done =X 1st choice voted!!
hehez... i really like how it was shown in the translations... can tell where it is in the actual novel, and also good way to keep it linked to the text, rather than seeing what page it is on the novel, when the translations do not have page numbers

#4 for me. My immediate impression is that this is rather a minor issue to be worried about, but it seems to me that the primary purpose the B&W images served in their original texts were as supplements to said texts. I think it appropriate to attempt to preserve the feeling of the original as much as possible, and so that breaks the tie for me, though this is really just an aesthetic issue, and simply comes down to a matter of personal taste.
