That picture unsettles me for some reason. TR 19:22, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- It's actually one of the tamest images on the first page of a simple Google image search for "centaur." Turtle Fan 19:28, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- I hope you guys don't mind me changing the image. Like TR, the last picture unsettled me too. Mr Nelg
- Thing is, the new picture looks less useful. The centaur is one of several features of the picture, and not the most eye-grabbing at that; and detail is lost at the small image size, so all I really see at a glance is a light smear over a more colorful background. Whereas with the "unsettling" image (really, what's wrong with it?) there's no doubt what you're looking at. I've always believed our photos should provide the clearest image possible.

- I think making the picture somewhat bigger helps. ML4E 22:21, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
I was introduced to centaurs through The Chronicles of Narnia. They're wise, moral, and civilized there. I know Lewis was intimately familiar with classical mythology, I wonder what he was going for by breaking their mold so much.
Anyway, when I first encountered more traditional centaurs I was like "The fuck . . . ?" Turtle Fan 18:59, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
Plural to singular[]
I was wondering whether the page name (and those of other supernatural beings such as Sphinxes and Gorgons) should be changed to the singular as was done with several of the alien races pages a few months ago for the sake of consistency. GusF (talk) 22:29, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- It makes sense. I agree. One thing, the redirect for the HoB sub-section is plural. Would we change that too or not? ML4E (talk) 21:48, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
It appears we never got around to implementing Gus's solution, even though both TR and ML4E agreed. I did not weigh in, probably because I wasn't active on the Wiki at the time (it was a couple days before Christmas and holiday-related travel no doubt had disrupted many of my usual routines) but I do like the idea. Should we do it? Turtle Fan (talk) 14:43, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- MBS has been doing this for the last few days. He has been marking the changes a minor so you probably haven't seen them. ML4E (talk) 15:23, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- I click the filter on and off so I can keep an eye on what he's up to. The last few days I haven't been on this site at all; life's been getting in the way. I should be back to my regular level of participation now. Turtle Fan (talk) 15:31, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
