Image Change (Bren Harding)

Various users suggest an Image change due to the fact that the current ones referenced a dead company. I have added 2 as temporary until I am able to go out with my decent camera to the Depot. Please voice your thoughts on this here. ~BH

Thanks for coming here, I mean this in no disrespectful way but your images are poor and we should only use images that are of better quality than the previous, I get you want to update the images and that's fine but as a rule of thumb they need to be better than what they're replacing, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 17:02, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong with the updated images. They aren't of poor quality, and are completely suitable. By having old images on here, you may be misleading passengers into taking the wrong bus. These photos currently on the Wikipedia page are massively out of date, and the buses photographed are no longer in any operation with Arriva. They should be replaced, or at least completely removed. I also feel that you Davey contradicting two Colchester residents and bus enthusiasts is interesting, considering the fact you live in Kent. Thank you for starting this war off, there is no need for your constant reverts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Loughrantobias (talk • contribs) 17:33, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

As I have said the images need to be of better quality than what they're replacing, No one with an IQ above 5 would get on a bus based on images they've seen on a Wikipedia article.... Anyone with sense would go to the operators website where they'd see the vehicles, Where I live is entirely irrelevant, No worries - Just doing my bit to keep the articles as great as possible!, There's every need for the reverts. –Davey2010^Talk 18:01, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

The images are of better quality, they are in fact RECENT photographs. If you feel that they are of low quality, remove them, and then either replace them with a high-quality current one, or remove them all together. Your grammar is also poor, so that'd make an article appear silly, and only suitable for somebody with an IQ below 5. Thanks for engaging in this debate.

Images don't need to be recent..., All replacement images are crap too, My grammar has no relevance here but nice try with the baiting!,

Let me make it clear as day - Either you bus enthusiasts add an image that is of satisfactory quality (ie better than what they're replacing) or we don't have an image at all ... Your choice. –Davey2010^Talk 19:17, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Well then, we'll go without images until we find one that's at your standard. The Park and Ride Enviro 200 was a pretty decent image. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Loughrantobias (talk • contribs) 19:22, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Not to be funny Dave. But the language isnt exactly needed, Couldn't you at least be polite about it. Oh and P.S. I'd love to see your photo's. I'm sure they're very high quality as you seem to attack everyone else for it. ~BH — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bren Harding (talk • contribs) 19:27, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

As I said we don't need recent images so the prev one can stay (I have actually removed one anyway), Nope I completely admit my images aren't the best and to a point I would say they're pretty crap too however I'm not shoving them in articles so it's not a problem, Thanks. –Davey2010^Talk 19:52, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
