Lede image

[edit]

Does this article really need one? Slatersteven (talk) 10:13, 12 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps not. I reverted a change of the lead image because the new image was not very clear about what it is of. The book page is, perhaps, clear, but it is also just a picture of text. Not great! It is hard to see what is better. Also, as there is a WP:SIDEBAR, there is at least one guideline (widely ignored, and perhaps contradicted elsewhere) that says SIDEBARS go top right in an article. Removing the image will allow that to comply. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:25, 12 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
I agree that image wasn't clear enough for a lead image, in several ways. I did go down the rabbit hole so FYI it's from the 1922 edition of William Gordon Mackendrick's The Destiny of Britain and America, published in Toronto by McClelland & Stewart "with an Appendix Who Are the Japanese?". A scanned copy's in the Internet Archive, other illustrations from it are on Commons (none much clearer, one a complicated map of how the British reached Britain from Palestine), and a note on Commons suggests one of our sources for this article may refer to it or him (Barkun 2014, p87). The Internet Archive has scans of other printings. NebY (talk) 11:11, 12 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
The image should be illustrative of the subject, a book cover (unless the article is about that book) is not. Slatersteven (talk) 11:15, 12 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
one a complicated map of how the British reached Britain from Palestine If a map is a considered, that one is actually a better choice to convey the idea of the subject. ButlerBlog (talk) 11:28, 12 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
Indeed. BTW I found pp86–91 of Barkun 2014; they concern the millenarian predictions of Mackendrick and others, and aren't related to these illustrations. NebY (talk) 12:26, 12 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
