For the gallery photos, I think it would be good to enlist someone here with a high quality video and screencapping program who is willing to take the time (and a lot of it) to do that.

Does searching for bad image links go under general clean-up or graphics? Or both..?

I would love to help out in the fanart section!
One thing I had volunteered to do was have a weekly(or monthly... more maybe biweekly) deviantart feature where I would feature say... 50 fanarts from deviantart for the week or so. Everyone seemed to like the idea(because it would also draw LotR lovers from da to out site), but I'm not sure if it would get it's own page or just a section of page...

Awesome Nurr is on top of this in the non-image revival section, so if anyone wants to help clean-up links, just let her know what you want to work on and get to it  _________________

Yay! 
At the moment, we're not sure if the Fan Art will be in the same format as the gallery - we're thinking something like Coppermine would be a good way of hosting the screencaps etc.
I would like there to be a selection of Fan Art on the site all the time, and maybe then Eru, you could have a special section of this weeks featured art (maybe 10?) which could include brand new art to AU (which then gets featured on the site for good) and some of your faves of the stuff we already have. It would be awesome to have an image link or something for "This Weeks Featured Fan Art", so people would click on it, and then see the featured work and all the rest of the art in the gallery.
Right, so I am going to start looking at the links in the galleries, which includes fan art as they are displayed the same way. I'm going to be tackling the *easier* ones first, which are the character and actor etc pages. Although not all the images in thos galleries will be staying, it's easier to check them all now, rather than trying to remember which ones we didn't check because we presumed we wouldn't be keeping.
Also I will be checking any non-image links I find on any of the gallery pages, image pages etc.
If anybody would like to volunteer to do a section, please tell me what you would like/are going to do.
And I still need one more graphic maker who is willing to take my little "survey" about what graphics we keep around here. It will be a long process but an easy one for you to do, just so you know. _________________

^Great work, JF! You make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside with your hard work 
About the images, I think I've said this before too, but in my opinion we should keep the interesting/unusal images even if they are bad quality, but only if we can't get them in better quality and not if they're really terrible. "Bad" should mean "not great" and not "dreadful" _________________

^Definitely should keep the unusual images. I know, I tend to think graphically too, but those are fun to look at. Regarding the screencaps, I have thumbnails done of FotR: Prologue. _________________ going on a journey through my old claims

Haha. Yes, I have got a completely different viewpoint of the galleries now, so I don't think there will be that many that need removing. Ooh, good job. Also, I would like to maybe add a few more catgories for the galleries... I don't know if it would be easier if some busy sections (such as locations) would benefit having sub-sections. I found a TON of location images I've never seen before, and I think having 12+ pages of locations etc, would make people not bother to check them all out. Whereas having a section for locations and then dividing them up will give people the option of choosing Hobbiton rather than having to look through all the pages. In fact, it wouldn't even need to be that specific. Shire, Rohan, Gondor, Elven Kingdoms and Evil Lands (or something like that) would suit just as well without their being a million choices. It's really only when you truly look at the galleries and see what can be added, that you realise some changes can simplify things without doing something drastic like Coppermine. _________________

^Simple changes like that are probably good. Because most people will be like "oh, I want to watch pictures of Mordor" and not "I want to look at all the locations", or at least they will be more tempted to look if they can choose one location at the time  _________________

Yep, I agree. Most of the sub-categories are OK I think. But maybe we we have 200+ images extra, we may have to think about making them easier for the average visitor to look at.

So a lot of "not graphics friendly" images, that are small or a bit rough looking should be definitely kept if they are either a) unusual behind the scenes images (found a LOT of "wow, who'd have thought that!?" crew stuff) or b) character images etc different from the normal ones.
