Therefore, it is clear that this cited "policy" does not exist, and if so, is universally ignored, a fact evident from simple observation. However, I merely state this to prove a point, and am not at all suggesting that ''every'' character's main image must depict their full body. I do however, suggest that Cortana's main image do so, bringing me back to my main point. It is a good quality image that portrays her full avatar, showing clearly that she is an AI, and that is the complete way she presents herself. Also, speaking personally, I find that the full image aesthetically compliments the article quite well. So, in short - what gives? Can anyone conjure any good reason to oppose implementation of such an image? - [[File:Black Mesa.jpg|28px]] [[User:Halo-343|<span style="color: purple; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 128%;">'''Halo-343'''</span>]] [[User talk:Halo-343|<font color="green">('''Talk''')</font>]] 16:41, 21 October 2011 (EDT)

:With John-117 and Thel' Vadam, Usze 'Taham, Jerome, that is pretty much being upheld, since it doesn't show their full body, and cuts off at their legs. When I initially argued for this "policy", this was back before ''Halo: Reach'''s release, when somebody kept changing Kat-B320's pic back to her full-body one when we had her upper body image from the VGA trailer. Note that this was upheld with the image of the Prophet of Truth, whose main image was previously his whole body like with Mercy before we got his closeup in ODST. Also note the Prophet of Regret.

When I initially argued for this "policy", this was back before ''Halo: Reach'''s release, when somebody kept changing Kat-B320's pic back to her full-body one when we had her upper body image from the VGA trailer. It's a standard we kept since for the rest of Noble Team. Note that this standard was upheld with the image of the Prophet of Truth, whose main image was previously his whole body like with Mercy before we got his closeup in ODST. Also note the Prophet of Regret.


:In the case of Ripa 'Moramee and Tartarus, that is because their concept art seems to give a greater level of detail. Tartarus's ''Halo 2'' model is not very detailed, while his concept art displays him much better. It's a similar case with Ripa 'Moramee.

For Mercy and Rtas Vadum, they are sitting, versus standing, which allows for a more compact image, as well as more impressive. Just standing looks boring, but less so when only the upper body hemisphere is shown.


:Overall, the two factors are the level of detail in the model and detail visible from the image. In the case of Cortana here, the two images are both equally detailed, since they are formed from the same model. However, more detail is ''VISIBLE'' from the closeup pic, since we're closer to it and thus can see it better. That's why I feel the closeup pic should be kept.
