User blog comment:Emitewiki2/An alternate proposition/@comment-4628859-20150702162056

Okay, *cough* should not be writing this during schooling *cough*, I do have something to say about this (I have the feeling some people thinking I won't shut up XD).

First off, thank you for the effort and the consideration you have put into this, secondly, I wish some people left a comment on my post because I think only you and maybe other admins read it.

Anyway, even though this does seem like an alternate proposition, it actually isn't really. The previously proposed project suggested renaming all images and possibly some part through it changing the manual of style (arguably the rules), while this current proposal instead suggest changing the manual of style first so that users have to conform to the pattern. In short, the end result of both movements is the same but just a different order of event and different people working.

I see this way it is appealing to those users who don't want too much work and also gives the implication that the admins will later rename all images that do not conform to the manual of style. I see that also you feel that the main opposition to Project Standardize is that it will be a long road that has no turning (proverb explained here).

However, the same reasons for the opposition of Project Standardize still hold, namely, that it is believed it will not be used in favor of going to pages.
