Urgent Message:

I've been going through other wiki's and it appears to be more appropriate to either use raws when displaying pictures, or whiting out the text bubbles. This is mostly because scanlations are usually never completely accurate, since multiple teams can have different interpretations of something, and as a wiki we usually try to keep things accurate. So far, we've had multiple translation problems with character names and Chapter/Episode Titles due to different sources having different translations.

What better way to keep it accurate then using the original source, aka the raws. Whatever is said on the picture doesn't nesassrily need to be understood, as that is what the wiki article is for.

Finding the Raws online for Jojo isn't really that hard, but if you must use scanlated images, at least white out the text bubbles, so there won't be any misinterpretation. This is suppose to be as obvious as using anime screenshots without subtitles on them.

Note: The only english text that would be appropriate is if they come from an official source, but even then companies like Viz Media tend to alter names and such due to copywright laws, so discretion is advised when using anything "officially" translated.

What are the other admins thought on this?
