HI WiseKwai. Just to let you know the Thai cinema template has been created -I'll have to wait though for Her Pegship to return before I can get the flag in the film icon.

I'm just wondering why you never respond to me? What have I done wrong for you to ignore me? Even though I have often contacted you in a friendly way you don't seem to care less about anything I have to say to you ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"I've been expecting you"} 19:11, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. If you'll notice, I'm not uploading or adding any pictures to the articles, and I'm not making galleries of all of those articles that do have pictures. What I'm doing as I add other information is - if the pictures (usually more than three, but sometimes two on smaller stubs) are scattered randomly around the article, I just put them in one spot - the gallery - that gives them at least a uniform size and some basic data. Some of those articles looked just bizarre with three or four pictures randomly placed! So, I guess, it's an aesthetic call, not a content call. Since someone thought that they were worthwhile to add, I don't see any reason to take them out. As they've already been on the articles without any complaints or people removing them, I didn't take it on myself to be "bold" and dump them without any reason.

I definitely don't add those images into the infobox- that would be totally inappropriate.

I do add the filmimage template to the talk page, hoping that someone will be able to find actual images from the films. But there does seem to be a pattern, as the same pictures are ending up in many articles. My guess is that there probably aren't any film posters readily available (I haven't seen one at IMDB for these yet, and given the rarity of the films, it's probably going to be difficult to get any screen shots or stills. There is some relevance to the article, but granted, it's not ideal. So my mind is to have some type of pic on the article until a real film image comes along, and then that can replace them. If you do get any feedback on this, please do let me know. Thanks. SkierRMH 05:54, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Wisekwai! Your opinion would be most appreciated in Template talk:Film. Thanks. Hoverfish Talk 09:15, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading the Thai film icon. I am also trying to gather all such 128x128px icons in a group and create many missing ones. Some of them are uploaded in Commons and used in Wikipedia. Some of them are also with non-trasparent backgrounds and I am working on correcting them and reuploading them. I am still waiting for Pegship to come back from her Wikibreak, since she has been creating 50x50px icons for several countries, but with solid white background. So, sooner or later I will try to put them all in one easily-to-find category, preferably in Commons. Let me know your opinion and I will let you know when I'm ready for something massive.

THanks WiseKwai your message means a lot to me. Good job on uploading the Thai image -as Hoverfish suggested -how did you do it? I beleive we are missing one for Germany and Iran etc. I thought we may have to await Her Pegship's return but if you have the ability the conjer them up quite easily it would be terrific. As for the category I beleive there is already a category in the commons for film icons ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"I've been expecting you"} 10:16, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes I'd noticed about that preferred format. Whatever the case all of the film-flag icons look great. The category for the commons icons is here-you may find it useful:

• http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Film_icons

I am creating the remaining templates now - Mexico has just been drawn up but also with no flag icon. All the best ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"I've been expecting you"} 10:35, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

P.s good idea on the Film country template seperate category I'll ensure that the new templates are in this category Cheers ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"I've been expecting you"} 11:19, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I would say that in this case of small film graphics the svg/png difference is null. Let them put info tags and don't worry about it. We'll make the full series as png's and let the svg's for more elaborate graphics. Hoverfish Talk 14:09, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Good start on the much needed icons. I now plan to remove the red links from some of the starter templates such as create the cinematographers/screenwriters/score musicans etc for each country -this is a good step to ridding of red links in the info boxes of articles -I just did the Icelandic ones. Eventually this will be looking great and each industry connected well really helping to connect each and every cinema related article on wikipedia. I just created the difficult Indian template -let me know if you would like to see any alterations etc..
