	I don't feel that all screenshots from [[SBCG4AP]] need to be in a widescreen aspect ratio. A wide image makes everything smaller when seen as a thumbnail. In other words, the result of having extra empty space is worse visibility of the subject of the image. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 07:52, 6 December 2008 (UTC)		I don't feel that all screenshots from [[SBCG4AP]] need to be in a widescreen aspect ratio.

		+	::Generally speaking, I strongly share your opinion when it comes to ''watching'' movies/shows or ''playing'' games in a format other then as they were originally framed by the artists who created them, and given an option I tend to prefer the wider field of view (although not unequivocally -- in some games the wider field of view actually results in cutting off the top/bottom of things). All that aside, these are freeze-frames of the game intended to capture relevant snippets that add flavor to the wiki articles, ''not'' to reproduce the actual gameplay experience for the readers. I see no problem with cropping an interestingly framed scene to suit that purpose. In fact I think the end result is better if the cropping is done well, given that they appear at a relatively small size in the articles.

Perhaps the person who flagged them as needing fixed simply wanted them to be the same ratio as appears in the game, but the game had both 4:3 modes and 16:9 modes, and some of them are cropped anyway.
