Image?

There has been a recent push by IP editors to replace this longstanding image with this image. Personally I prefer the former image as a template image because it is of higher quality, however when I undid the edit my own edit was undone on the rational that the first image was taken in Mexico which is not a predominantly Pentecostal country. I find this rational a bit faulty as the second image was taken in Slovakia in which Pentecostals make up even less of a percentage of the population. Either while it is pretty silly to debate over an image, I was hoping to discuss the issue rather than start a meaningless edit war over this. Inter&anthro (talk) 13:22, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Image

As one of the people who oppose the current image, my belief is that it doesn't represent the typical Pentecostal church because most who practice this form of Christianity are either of European or African ancestry in the US and I really think a different image than either of those recently represented should be created, possible one that shows raising of hands or laying on of hands. Would anyone oppose or support a new, more recent image all together if one is found or created? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.203.20.122 (talk) 22:19, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I do not find your argument that most Pentecostals in the United States are either of European or African descent to be convincing, not only because Hispanics make up a large percentage of the American Pentecostal population, but also because this template refers to Pentecostalism as a whole and not just as practiced in the United States. Despite that if you or anyone else believe you have found a better picture, you are free to propose it as long as it satisfies WP:IUP. Inter&anthro (talk) 20:19, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Main Color

I really think that the red is quite jarring in article space and makes black and blue text (such as the section expanders) look awful. I would suggest we return to the yellow color (#FDEEAA) that was used in older versions until 4 April 2023. This would still match the image and sufficiently capture Pentecostals without being visually abrasive. JParksT2023 (talk) 04:59, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
