Quote - I just had a brief look at the Wikipedia page that bagoas made. Excellent work! Thank you, good Sir!
My pleasure! and welcome back, Sir!
Quote - I'm not sure, though, that I'm entirely comfortable with the fact that 50% of all Wikipedia pages containing my name now also contain phrases like "detail level of genitalia". I think maybe it would be sufficient to say that there's a small number of body morphs included to provide backwards-compatibility with pre-release versions of the figure, or something like that?
Sure. I can change that, if you want. in fact any Wikipedia user can change it, but I will take the effort on me. To be honest I had not thought twice about this and assumed you would be comfortable with it because the morph was there in the main figure. It is said here now in public from reputable source that the morph was maintained for backward compatibility only, so it can be echoed in the article. (That's how things are with an Encyclopedia.
Will have access to the system with access to my Wikipedia account later tonight and make the change.
Quote - Also, maybe it would be nice to replace the picture with one that shows off the whole body (sufficiently clothed, obviously)? SaintFox has made some great promo pictures for Tony, maybe we could use one of those?
More pictures can be added. I considered using a picture with clothing but clothing quickly hides one of Antonia's main 'selling' points: her good bending. For the top image I had chosen this 'portrait'. showing shoulder/arm bending as a catcher. There is not much space at the top of the page and a full body shot would be 'overwhelming' when at same scale. On smaller scale it would not show much detail at screen resolution. Also, a full body shot would give a greater sense of 'distance' towards the reader.
If there is anything else anyone thinks should be added or modified, by all means let's hear it. This about both Antonia and about the community event laid down in this thread which was her creation. I think the process is more unique than the figure.
