Hello everyone,

Over the last few days, I have been busy updating images on the wiki -- specifically, biome images.

Many of the biome images seen on the wiki were taken in June 2014, and some images were even older -- they were uploaded to this wiki from the old one. Take Gondor for example. The old image was uploaded to the wiki in June 2014 on the day the wiki was founded, but the actual screenshot  was taken in Beta 1, as evidenced by the lack of NPC's. And believe it or not, that very old, outdated image was the main image for the  Gondor  article from the time of the wiki's creation until I replaced it just yesterday. This problem is not unique to the Gondor article, either; many articles, including Eriador,  Coldfells  and  Minhiriath , used outdated images until very recently, in some cases even taken from the old wikispaces website.

What point am I trying to make? That many of our wiki's screenshots, especially those of biomes, are old, out-of-date, and in general need of replacement.

Next time you look at a wiki page, click on the image of the infobox. Then click on "More Info" and finally "File History". If that image was taken in 2014 (any time within that year), it's outdated and should be replaced. Either go and take a new screenshot yourself (see the Wiki Style Guide  for more help), or use the  template, to mark the page as one requiring a new image.

Thanks,
