Pictures
[edit]An editor had placed a tag on the article indicating that the editor believed there were too many pictures. Thus far, four have been removed.
The Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images says:
- Images must be significant and relevant in the topic's context, not primarily decorative. They are often an important illustrative aid to understanding.
- Strive for variety.
The governing project for this article is Wikipedia:WikiProject Containers which says:
- All articles about containers should be illustrated with high quality images.
Pictures of package handles are very useful. They communicate a concept easily without excess text. The number of pictures is an opinion which editors can disagree on. I suggest that the reduction by four is enough. Further reductions would diminish content. Pkgx (talk) 12:55, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- Fair point, this probably does fall under the "image-heavy articles for which image galleries are suitable" examples of WP:GALLERY.
- There does need to be more text in some sections, though, particularly those which are only a sentence or two long. Some images also fall short of MOS:ACCIM for their brief captions and lack of alt-text. --Lord Belbury (talk) 14:43, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- The tag on the article for "too many pictures" hsas been there for a month: four pictures have been removed and extra text has been added. I believe the concerns have been addressed. More cuts would detract from article content. The tag should be rermoved. Pkgx (talk) 18:13, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
