Is this in yours or a friend's Springfield? Also, images for buildings should be taken prior to or after the Christmas Event, since they have an "alternate snowy look" during it. That, and you see snow falling in the foreground, blocking the building.

However, please DO include the picture in a gallery, just not in the infobox. We should try and document the appearances of each building and decoration during the Christmas Event. Personally, I have a neighbor who enjoys spending premium currency on everything, so I can get pictures of most of the premium stuff, just it would usually be obstructed.

For pictures in the infoboxes, the buildings should not be obstructed from behind or from the front (see the example to the right, this is how I made the infobox picture for the Simpson House article). This way, I can easily edit out the background (whether it be grass or concrete) and make the image a transparent icon (the final product, see left).

Also, one last thing; when documenting images to use for infoboxes (which I will gladly edit for you if you provide them (remember no snow!)) make sure the building is facing to the right (standard position). In the Mapple Store article, the building is facing left (I might move it later). Maybe someday in the future I'll be able to turn the images into a .GIF file, allowing us to show both sides of the building, and would transition between them in 2 second intervals (kind of like how minecraft wiki.net does it here with different leaves). Of course, that's just me thinking out loud. :/

Anyways, I think I'm making what should have been a simple reply something too long. :3

So in regards to the tire fire image, feel free to make a tire fire article, then toss that image into a gallery, just not the infobox.

Also, like the new homepage?
