:Yeah, Wookieepedia stopped blanking speech bubbles in 2007. Wikipedia doesn't do it either. And I agree, we should stop blanking the bubbles as well. It generally takes away from the image and can be distracting. Especially when the bubble is an unattractive colour like [[:File:HE12 Lasky Debrief.jpg|here]]. However, I have no issue with blanking the speech bubble if it is completely unrelated to the image. If we do stop blanking speech bubbles, should we re-upload images from comics with the speech bubble intact? - [[User:NightHammer|NightHammer]] ([[User talk:NightHammer|talk]]) 16:18, 1 December 2014 (EST)

::I agree with this. Removing the text for most scans deprives readers of context and verbal action. Not all images need that though as they're purely action-oriented or the text is unimportant to the feel of a given scene. I'd say that every comic scan upload in the future should contain the original text and we can remove it or add it in for whatever need we have. {{User:Helianthus/Sig}}

::You know, I'm glad this is being addressed, not really a fan of that blanking policy either. It is a bit distracting and doesn't really do much for anything.[[User:262VigilantGuardian|262VigilantGuardian]] ([[User talk:262VigilantGuardian|talk]]) 03:46, 2 December 2014 (EST)
