BMW 5 Series (E60)
I changed the image because the previous one is low quality and involves a dirty car. About the cars surrounding the main car, I could say the same about your Blue R8 V10 Plus image which is surrounded by cars. If you want to start warring again, be my guest.

Hi!
Please can you explain how I have been disruptive? Thanks! :) Joel37 (talk) 20:42, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
Sorry about that, I didn't see your messages....I was replacing the older models with newer photos so that the title photo is of the current model. Joel37 (talk) 20:47, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
- If you wanted to edits like that, It best to discuss it on the talkpage of that article, you were going to article to article replacing them without any summary or reason. --Vauxford (talk) 20:48, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
OK, sorry about that, I was just trying to update the pages a bit :) Joel37 (talk) 20:49, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
Would you mind explaining why the title picture should be left as an old model (such as Fiat Fiorino) instead of the new model? Thanks Joel37 (talk) 20:52, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
- Because that is what the model best known for. It what they use as the cover of the article which the user can scroll down and read about it and see the different variant and generation. --Vauxford (talk) 20:57, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
I understand for cars such as the Fiat Uno (although I think it might be subjective which the car is best known for!) but why the Fiorino, or my VW edits, for example? Thanks Joel37 (talk) 20:59, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
I see you have also removed my edits that were not simply replacing a photo - such as the edits I made to the Citroen Mehari page....why is this? Thanks! Joel37 (talk) 21:02, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
- I have restored that edit, seeing that it was useful but the rest of the edits you done were unnecessary and didn't need to be changed. --Vauxford (talk) 21:10, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
So - just to clarify - what is the infobox picture supposed to be of? I was just updating them all but now I see that's not right.... Joel37 (talk) 21:45, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
- I don't usually cite WP:CARPIX since there a problems with it but this explains pretty much why:
- The image selected for an article's top (lead) infobox does not need to show any particular version or generation of the vehicle, such as the latest, the last, the first, the best-selling, or any other. However, the image must be representative; low-volume, obscure/unusual, or otherwise unrepresentative variants are generally not preferred for the lead infobox image. Vehicle production date is not a factor when determining the quality of an image and its suitability to illustrate the lead infobox. Regardless of the ages of the vehicle shown, pick a clear, high-quality image according to the image quality guidelines; one that clearly shows a vehicle relevant to the article without photoflash glare or other photographic faults, against a simple and contrasting background. Such an image is always to be preferred over a lower-quality image, such as one that shows photoflash glare or a distracting background. --Vauxford (talk) 21:51, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
Right! That's great, I'll try to follow those rules from now on. Thanks a lot and I look forward to working with you in the future :) Joel37 (talk) 21:54, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
