The purpose of an encyclopedia is to provide important information conveniently. This means high standards. 4/5 of the previous article was barely newsworthy – it was the stuff of tabloid – it was tabloid worthy. If we were writing a 175 page autobiography of Michael Jackson I would have no problem including this Michael=LaToya stuff. But this is supposed to be reference which means ~2 pages (10 pages max for a very broad topic e.g. Christianity). And 4/5 of that article just does not belong. |

I've reverted ]'s last edit, on the grounds that it completely replaced what was already there, thus removing a huge amount of information from the article. The new information that H7asan has provided will need to be worked into the article somehow, so I have copied and pasted the full text below. -- ] 17:31 Apr 9, 2003 (UTC) |

== We should update the main image == |
|
Sorry Nazii, but I'm afraid your additions are veering this article away from the ] that we try to maintain around here. --] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main image is a grainy, black and white (which I believe makes an image worse when there is color alternatives), and overall low quality. The problem is many images of Jackson on Wikimedia Commons are not really high quality. Any actually high quality ones (including two images below), are being nominated due to copyrighted issues. Here are two examples: |

|

|
|
</gallery> |
|
|
So here are the highest quality images I could find, from highest to lowest quality. Please know that I believe that color is better, but other factors like quality (including amount of grain, quality of image scan, and image size) also apply |

::I oppose #7; it doesn't have a clear view of his face due to his sunglasses. #3, #4, and #8 are disqualified for the same reason. #5, #6, and #9 have strange expressions. #10 is good, but not ideal because of a poor view of his face. #1 has good potential if cropped, and #2 is probably the best overall despite his atypical outfit.

:I support #7, and I agree with @]'s statement. Although I don't think it is imperatively necessary to change the current image; but if it were to be done, I think #7 is the only suitable one, and it is a good option for the future considering, among other reasons, that it is in color. |
|
|
:Apart from that, I am going to give my opinion on why I think some of the others are not valid at all. The optimal thing to do in a case like Jackson's, considering that he is one of the most public people the world knew and that it is easy for anyone to recognize him, is to choose a picture that represents what he is known for (i.e. music artist); that's why it is not appropriate to use as the main picture something that is part of his non-artistic life, like ] or #2 (where he is not exercising as an entertainer, and he is not even wearing clothes that represent his artistic persona, just as if it were a picture at home in his pyjamas. It's a picture with close friends where he's wearing a ] cap...). I consider picture #6 to be of very low quality taking into account the other options and I don't find #3 and #8 to be good choices, because they show Jackson in his last years of life, and it is always preferable (as has been done in other cases, such as Queen ]) to choose a picture from the "in-between" part of the subject's life. #1, #4, #5, #5, #7 and #10 are valid and appropriate pictures to be used as the main picture in this article, but I consider #7 and #10 (the one currently used) to be the best choices considering that they are better representing Jackson at an in-between time in his life. ] (]) 02:12, 24 October 2024 (UTC) |
|
|
::I disagree, number 10 is the lowest qauality picture of Jackson, and each of the reasons you give make sense, but a side profile of Jackson that is low quality does not make for a better representation of the subject in most cases. I thought we should have done 2, but 4 and 7 are fine too, with all in high quality color ] (]) 18:27, 26 October 2024 (UTC) |

::How would i go about acquiring the right to use a image of him for this page? Who do i contact? ] (]) 00:58, 1 November 2024 (UTC) |
|
|
:The most famous photo we have is the one set during the Dangerous world tour in his Jam outfit, however there's apparently issues with that one. Of the remaining options, his estate currently uses a image of MJ from the Bad world tour as his profile picture across their social media platforms but the one we got is in black in white and not very high quality. The only other option i think would be suitable is #7 as it's a photo of him receiving the artist of the decade award at the white house in high quality. This was set between the Bad and Dangerous era's of his career when he was at his arguable peak and is fitting for his biographical page. ] (]) 03:52, 29 October 2024 (UTC) |

:Jackson's allegations have their own page, furthermore the "accusers" were people who had previously defended him under oath in a court of law or to law enforcement and various contradictions were exposed. They are largely discredited, the only case that is a point of contention is the 1993 accusation due to the nature of the settlement. That in fact is mentioned in depth here ] (]) 01:51, 9 December 2024 (UTC) |

BTW, please note that its’ only ”alleged victims”. Journalists have uncovered several contradictions (and possible untruths) in the Leaving Neverland film (you can give this podcast a listen, then make up your own mind: https://www.michaeljacksoncaseforinnocence.com). <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 22:03, 2 December 2024 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

== Return audio samples == |

I'd like to suggest the return of his 3 audio samples in the Artistry section, Vocal style subsection. I don't know if there was a consensus under this Talk before as I don't see it in the Archives as to why it was originally removed... Please direct me to that if there is. Anyway, it would be a great descriptive to show difference in his voice per genre as his voice engineer Bruce Swedien says they consummate different feelings depending on the song and how he approached them (Thriller - fear, Smooth Criminal - stealth, etc).

::I understand that's the *usual consensus. But can you explain what makes it different that audio samples are used in ] and ]'s pages ("a critical description" their style; *I see you edited Elvis' wikipedia page last month, but made no move to remove his samples) and not Michael Jackson's? I can argue that Michael Jackson's genre range is extremely important to his image as well as a historic feat. And including samples is an encyclopedic point. It is only one more item, and not a subvert use of such samples. ] (]) 22:01, 26 December 2024 (UTC) |

:::As not further replied in two weeks, I will be going forth with adding back the samples if there's no contesting in a few more days. Narrated in many other musicians pages, as an encyclopedic point, I will be including samples as I believe it highlights Jackson's artistry and critical point to his page. ] (]) 01:06, 9 January 2025 (UTC) |

For Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall albums, the video longform sales are counted towards the certified sales of the album itself.

The main image is a grainy, black and white (which I believe makes an image worse when there is color alternatives), and overall low quality. The problem is many images of Jackson on Wikimedia Commons are not really high quality. Any actually high quality ones (including two images below), are being nominated due to copyrighted issues. Here are two examples:
So here are the highest quality images I could find, from highest to lowest quality. Please know that I believe that color is better, but other factors like quality (including amount of grain, quality of image scan, and image size) also apply
If we are to choose another image, which I strongly believe should be the case since 1-9 are better than 10 (the current main image), which should we do?
