Talk:Cokie the Clown

Release

Was this released in CD format in a slipcase? If so, that'd explain the shape of the present image, but Google Images seems to say otherwise.Jasper420 00:50, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

I own the CD version. It's not in a jewel case, it's one of those cardboard cases where the cover takes up the whole front (I believe this form of packaging is called a Digipak). That's why the cover is wider than it is tall, whereas a vinyl or CD jewel case cover is generally square. My CD version of Coaster is the same way (as are many other CDs in my collection). --IllaZilla (talk) 03:24, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Ah, well that would explain your preference for that configuration of album cover uploads then.Jasper420 03:45, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

I don't have a preference. I get most of my cover images from amazon.com, because (A) they tend to have the ones I'm looking for and (B) the default display size there is 300x300 which happens to be the max allowable by Template:Infobox album#Cover (which is because that's the max thumbnail size one can set under user preferences). In this case the image came from here. With non-square covers amazon generally has some whitespace on either the vertical or horizontal sides, so I trim that out. The cover images at the fat wreck site are only 200x200, which is below the 220x220 minimum required by Template:Infobox album#Cover (which is because 220x220 is the default thumbnail size). I'd have no objection to a 300x300 square version. --IllaZilla (talk) 05:24, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Fair enough. While we're on the subject, what about This Addiction?Jasper420 15:26, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

That one came from punknews.org when it was first announced. It could probably be updated with a square version. --IllaZilla (talk) 15:35, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
