Bellows Falls, Connecticut[edit]

Other sites[edit]

I would like to move the "other sites" section up to the top of the Places of interest section. These museums and tourist attractions seem quite significant. I think a statement that the town contain nrhp sites should go after. NRHP sites are interesting and well worth noting but typically inckude private residences and building that while signicant architecturally and historically aren't on par with a museum or major tourist attraction. There seems to be some dispite on the article so I am raising the kssie here rsther than going ahead and making my desored edit. FloridaArmy (talk) 00:53, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@FloridaArmy: Thank you for responding to this. US city and town articles generally follow the guidelines established at Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline. I reordered the page earlier today reflect this established practice, but it was reverted. Is there a way to make your move, and maintain the integrity of Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline? Thank you again. Magnolia677 (talk) 01:05, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just to note, FloridaAmy, that the guidelines M677 cites are not mandatory, and if the article is improved by your suggested change, the, by the policy WP:IAR, you should make the change. If you're going to move the "other sites" sun-section up, you shopuld remove the "other sites" subtitle, as it only makes sense if that grouping comes after the NRHP group. Otherwise, I have no objection. In fact, Ill do it for you. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:17, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Making sections with a single entry in them is not useful and doesn't improve the article. This is why guideline are there to GUIDE us, not to demand that things absolutely must be done in a certain way. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:28, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about the edit conflicts. It took me a series of edits to get the job done. I followed the guidelines but I'm not in love with the dual tourism sections it recommends. As noted above we don't have to abide by them strictly. Thoughts? I also am not sure how to deal with duplication in regard to scenic railroad. FloridaArmy (talk) 01:35, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And Beyond My Ken makes a valid point about single entry sections. Can we expand them or should they be done away with? FloridaArmy (talk) 01:38, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Image size[edit]

@FloridaArmy: Thank you for your helpful edits. I have a question about this edit. You added the image at 287px, when "As a general rule, images should not be set to a larger fixed width than 220px", per MOS:IMAGES. The article is already packed with images, and for users on handheld devices these large images are a nightmare. Would you agree that using standard size images would be easier for users? Thanks again! Magnolia677 (talk) 01:36, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I just moved the photos up as I was reorganizing. That's how they were sized. Not sure why the sizing is "forced" if that's the right word. FloridaArmy (talk) 01:39, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The standard image size is 220px, unless an editor provides a good reason to change the size. I changed the images to 220px, but an editor reverted it and changed them back to a very large size without a logical reason. Large sized images are difficult to display on many screens. The article would certainly benefit if you could change the image sizes back to their default size. Thanks again. Magnolia677 (talk) 01:46, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Image sizes and number of images[edit]

The images in this article have been made larger than necessary, which makes the page slow to load, and disrupts the page formatting on some browsers. MOS:IMAGES states that "As a general rule, images should not be set to a larger fixed width than 220px". An attempt to resize the images, and reduce the size of the images in the extensive galleries, has been reverted. The input of other editors would be appreciated. Thank you.

This really doesn't need consensus. You're right and you can just be bold and go ahead and do it. ɱ (talk) · vbm · coi) 14:36, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notable people[edit]

Shouldn't we expand the "Notable people" section of this article, based on this information? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:People_from_Bellows_Falls,_Vermont 173.88.246.138 (talk) 21:22, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I will make this change! Conacious (talk) 20:33, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
