Images of fast, poison, and all zombie forms of the headcrab
editIf the images are re-submitted with a filled out template and cites a specific explanation or rationale for why each image is permissible under fair use, would there be any other reason why they could be taken down? Thanks - Seath64 (talk) 00:38, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
- Are you referring to images that were deleted some 3+ years ago? You'll need to prove that so many NFCC images (I.e. 3-4+) are required to illustrate the topic. The NFCC policy is at WP:NFCC. In particular note #3.a. #9 and #10. -- ferret (talk) 00:48, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
- If they were made into a composite so all forms were represented in a single image, (much like the current headcrab image) that would only require a single NFCC rationale and would be easier to justify. Chaheel Riens (talk) 08:10, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
- Agreed. -- ferret (talk) 11:25, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Headcrab hosts are not unconscious.
editThe article says that headcrab zombie hosts are unconscious, but just listen to the half life alyx zombie 'Moans'. Im no scientist but i dont think those sounds are like any sounds an unconscious person in no pain would make. And although maybye just a weird thing, if a zombie is lit on fire, the backwards screams of it sound like it is saying "OH GOD HELP, HELP ME!". 204.100.167.10 (talk) 17:46, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- The article says "in an unconscious state" - which is not quite the same as actually being unconscious. The phrasing simply means that they are catatonic after infestation, rather than immediately going on the rampage. I've changed "unconscious" to "catatonic" to try and remove any further confusion.
