Talk:Really Big Tree

Thats a big tree. I mean a really big tree!

The first section was comic genious, but the other sections lacked in funniness

Cleaned up

I've cleaned this up a lot. I agree, it gets sort of random towards the end, probably from the narrators excitement over the tree, but it's not bad. --EMC ^[TALK] 22:51, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the work, all of you. I appreciate the clean-up on what is arguably my favorite random-rambling article on the site. Nice work all. Sir Famine, Gun ♣ Petition » 01/28 16:16

Check history

This is hilarious. What I found most interesting is to look at the history of the article: it was started by an anonymous IP user, who only created this one article and then disappeared. They probably have no clue that their article ended up being featured. -- Rei 17:06, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

This article is gold. I can't stop reading it. 129.21.109.90 18:10, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Theories

Personally, I find the theories one of the more amusing parts of the article. While it doesn't quite fit, the entire article is absurd enough that I think it works. Well, aside from the one about the penguins. Anyone else have an opinion? Sir Famine, Gun ♣ Petition » 01/30 18:10

I think it's great and I should get all the credit ever. --EMC ^[TALK] 22:22, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

It's fantastic. It's super. It's superfantastic. That tree's f'ing big! --Videshi 00:54, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

New picture

The new picture sucks, the old one was a lot better. The tree is much bigger than how it is portrayed in the new one. The least they could do is scale down the Statue of Liberty. I mean damn, the tree is like a godzillion times bigger than that.

I disagree. The new picture is a much higher quality edit, IMHO. I also like how the person who added it make the picture really big; seems fitting  ;)

Too bad other people brought back in that junky theories section full of random nonsense. The article quality starts out great, then tapers off toward the end, as others in talk have mentioned. Interestingly enough, the stuff at the top is word-for-word like the original article in most places. The last couple sections were added in later, and it shows. -- Rei 22:49, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Not that I mind being disagreeable, but I'm of the opposite opinion on both counts. The Statue in the new image sucks, with respect to the Incredible Hulk editor, of course. I'm of mixed opinion on the rest of the image. Sir Famine, Gun ♣ Petition » 02/2 00:07

I tried to fix the image by smoothing out the ground clutter. When I uploaded it it was just an idea anyway. BTW, part of the reason when the Statue of Liberty is as large as it is that when a picture converts for different screen sizes for the average user, if Lady Liberty is too small whet it is gets lost. In a perfect world, the statue would be the size of a grain salt next to the tree. An imperfect image for an imperfect world and medium, if you will.

Not to bother the artist, but how might a 50% smaller statue look at varied resolutions? My concern is that it's like 10% the size of the tree, which isn't "a little thing" as the caption implies. Sir Famine, Gun ♣ Petition » 02/2 01:01

My issue with the old (current) picture is that it just looks wrong. The horizon simply ends at the tree; it looks unnatural. Sharpness details vary throughout the image, esp. in the grass -- things actually get *sharper* with distance instead of blurrier. The grass looks way, way too big. Etc. The image just feels... wrong. -- Rei 18:06, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I agree - the ideal picture would be an outer space shot with the really big tree just poking its top branches out from the stratospere. I just don't have the time. Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 23:32, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

It's a poor hackjob, as are all my images, but there you go. If you don't like it, do it better. :) Sir Famine, Gun ♣ Petition » 02/3 00:35

Are you kidding, its brilliant! Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 03:24, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I played around and tried to figure out how the Really Big Tree will meet its match Image:Holymotherofgodclogger.jpg

That is scary.

EMC - nice use of the refs. Best way to keep those bits without making them seem out of place while reading. Sir Famine, Gun ♣ Petition » 02/4 16:00

Thank you, thank you. --EMC ^[TALK] 18:24, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Qoutes

This article could use some "quotes" and when i say that i put it in "quotation marks" because its "crap thats probably made up any way"--Safteysalamander 00:10, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
