Hi, I noticed you were uploading scaled, non-filtered versions of the item sprites. Are you doing that for any particular reason other than preference? I purposely upscaled them to have that specific effect. They are scaled 2x once with no filtering, and then 2x again with linear filtering. If you feel really strongly about it, or have some argument against the filtering, please let me know. Otherwise, I'd recommend focusing your efforts on improving the guide itself as opposed to the images. Thanks.

:Replacing a few images was an easy way for me to get into the pattern of taking and editing screen shots as I play. I prefer perfect scaling, and assumed the existing graphics were not filtered intentionally. I will stop replacing existing ones now that I know you like things the way they are. Within new content I upload I'd much rather not apply smoothing filters. The work I've done on the "items" page should probably be rolled back since it's only half complete, but I don't seem to have that ability. FWIW here are the reasons for my preference. Web browsers apply their own image scaling. In most cases viewers will see pixel filtering applied regardless of the source image. According to [[Template:Im/z2]] images used incline are scaled by MediaWiki when their height is greater than 30, and I've read elsewhere that images used as thumbnails are also rescaled. Between the web browser, the operating system, and mediawiki the image will be blurred multiple times regardless of what we do with the source image.
