Pictures[edit]
I put six pictures on this webpage which, I understand, was objected to by someone (name unknown) and they were subsequently removed. May I know what the nature of the objection was and why they were removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhobat Bryn (talk • contribs) 18:58, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
- If you look at the revision history of the article you will see why the user removed the images from the page.--06:21, 14 June 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agamemnus (talk • contribs)
- Thanks for the reference. I am currently digesting the Wikipedia Image Use Policy. One of my reasons for wanting to include a photograph is that the main image in the information box is no longer current. It shows Barry as having two platforms in operation whereas there are now three. Am i allowed to replace the old image with a more up-to-date one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhobat Bryn (talk • contribs) 06:32, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Rhobat Bryn: The login names of every person who has edited the page are not unknown (although their real life names are often unknown), and may be found in the page history, where (if they used the edit summary feature) you will also find the reasons for each edit. Consider the edit made at 22:25, 11 June 2015: at the top, on the right, you will find these links: Redrose64 (talk · contribs); they show who made that edit. This is me, but it isn't my real name - on Wikipedia, I always go by the login Redrose64 - I do have a real life name, which is not used or advertised on Wikipedia, although a few people do know it. The edit summary that I left says "enough with the images - see WP:IG - all these are in c:Category:Barry railway station, so add a {{commonscat}} instead". I was concerned that the previous four edits had added a column of seven images, which is not something that we encourage. Relevant guidelines include WP:IG (which I linked in my edit summary) and WP:NOTREPOSITORY (which I didn't). When images are included, they are usually used to illustrate a passage of text, and should normally be placed immediately before the relevant passage. Where other images exist on Commons:, we don't pile them all into the article - instead we normally ensure that each image has a relevant category (see these edits). This then means that if a suitable template like
{{commonscat}}is included in the article, those images are accessible to those who wish to see them. --Redrose64 (talk) 11:14, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
