I don't see why III/IV-era bias is a problem - it's representative of the number of people that play it. I think the image that best shows the features of the vehicle should be used. I personally think that III-era images do this better than IV-era, because the colours are brighter and the designs are simpler. The 2D titles obviously show a lot less detail, and are a bit useless as lead images. It often frustrates me when people insist on being "technically" correct (fanboy style) instead of just doing what is simplest, easiest to understand, and gets the message across best. "First" and "most recent" should be secondary to "best" and "most informative" when choosing images.

:Fine, but we'll have to be flexible with the gallery as well. There had been occasions when attempts to utilize the gallery system in other parts of an article have been met with a bit of opposition. We can in fact split it up to be moved into relevant portions of the article, associating them better with the text in hand. The problem is lots of vehicle articles have been written with inconsistent layouts, which means we can't simply apply the same gallery split guideline on all articles. I rather we do this on a case-to-case basis because (thankfully), the aforementioned ([[Police Car]], [[Fire Truck]], [[Ambulance]] articles, etc) are more of exceptions and most vehicle articles are fine as they are. We'll have to take into consideration length and the number of available images. - [[User:ZS|ZS]] 19:56, October 14, 2009 (UTC) | |||
