Recently. I have an issues pertaining to images like this:

These images are deleted, but they used to be terrible images

It's not the proper way of ripping models from the game. It's ugly, unprofessional, and, in most cases, badly anti-aliased. I think it's better, in most cases, to simply leave the background there and not bother cropping subjects out at all.

These are fine though

But ideally, I think the models section should look something like this:

(I know these images I want are those uploaded by me/my sister, but that's not my ---ing point)

My point is that I think these sections need serious clean-up. If you want to take better images of models, download some models from The Model's Resource or something and download Blender, an open-source, free 3D modeling program.
 
I'd totally be ok with deleting hideous shit like those first three images. Kill it with fire.
 
Yes, things like those should go. Already we tend to delete very poor/blurry quality images for their lack of usefulness and practical value.
 
I took the first steps and removed links to these images. Now, can we please eradicate these pukes from the wiki? There are some images I'm not sure, though.

ALL IMAGES HAVE BEEN DELETED! :fancy:
 
Yes I have had the urge to do something about it but I just never did. The models that need to go are mostly Super Mario 3D World and New Super Mario Bros. U "models".

There are a few Galaxy and Galaxy 2 ones and a few New Super Mario Bros. Wii models that are crappy but I think I can get better ones for NSMBW.

Galaxy models are entirely possible, but any Wii U games are not
 
Wii U models aren't rippable, that's why. Yet. If you want an image so badly, just take a screenshot of them, crop it out, and leave the background on there.
 
Oh.

Well if they can send people into outer space, then I'm sure ripping Wii U models could be made possible sometime soon.

Everything becomes possible at one point. Everything is hackable. Everything has an exploit. As for now, though, it's not possible to read or rip Wii U contents
