Photo discussion

evrik, I sense you have some concerns about how and which photos are presented on the page. Can you please discuss them here? I like the idea of three images at the top for aesthetic reasons. Do you have some objection to this? One or two could mislead, whereas three gives the basic message to readers of "plurality" or "diversity". Thoughts?

Three images at he top is too many. The bubbler is already in the article. Sorry about they typo. I didn't catch that last night. --evrik (talk) 01:45, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate you saying that about the typo. I disagree about three images for the reason I've mentioned -- why do you think/say what you do about the three images? I'm also planning to remove the exact location of the bodega (why does anyone here care where the bodega is located?) and the entire po' boy picture (we already have a picture of that type of sandwich). Wolfdog (talk) 10:15, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The bodega location should reference NYC. I switched out the po boy. Three images is too wide for the top, and there is already a bubbler in the article. --evrik (talk) 15:15, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is nothing wrong with the barn image. --evrik (talk) 15:08, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nardog is the initial reverter. As my edit summary said, this image has no connection to the meaning as used in the article. So: let's delete it. There is nothing wrong with it isn't a counterargument. And find a better image if you want to suggests we need an image at all. We don't. Wolfdog (talk) 16:07, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Its a burning barn, perhaps you don't see the connection? --evrik (talk) 17:14, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The meaning has nothing literally to do with a barn burning, so the image is misleading. All the other images on this article are literal pictures for the given term. Wolfdog (talk) 18:52, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think that the image evokes excitement. Do you have a different image for that section? --evrik (talk) 21:31, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A barn burner is not a literal burning barn, or anything directly related to one. The image is at best merely decorative, and more likely misleading. Cnilep (talk) 03:47, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
