Image placement in Bull Stone House

Thanks for the copyediting, but I moved the picture back (albeit smaller). There's no rule that says they all have to be on the right (in fact, I much prefer alternating placement because studies have demonstrated repeatedly that it improves readability since it mirrors the sweep of our eyes across a page), and I would IAR that idea anyway where an infobox is concerned. An image should always be as close as possible in the text to what it illustrates ... having it down by the footnotes is completely useless, and looks like a fifth wheel.

Also, was it really necessary to constantly reiterate "Bull and Wells Stone House"? First, the property's official title in the National Register is what the article is titled, and the sign on the nearby road says exactly the same thing. But over and above any issues with the titling, constantly reusing the title phrase is hitting the reader over the head. "Bull Stone House" is in big letters at the top of the page; I think most readers know which house is meant. Daniel Case 02:02, 4 August 2007 (UTC) -

Thanks for the notation regarding your changes to my edit. I regularly move photographs to the area in the article where the text discusses the subject of the photograph. The reason I moved this photograph, however, is because it skews copy in the article with its placement where you have it.

Now, to the right of the uppermost margin of the smaller photograph are two words Bull, a and below the smaller photograph with a great gap of white space -- the paragraph continues, ''stonemason, met and married Wells, a fellow immigrant to the Wawayanda Patent (much of the present day towns of Goshen, Hamptonburgh, Minisink, and Warwick) while they were both working for the patent proprietors. Building the house was a joint effort between husband and wife. which is forced because the word stonemason'' will not fit between the photograph and the information box. Your preferred layout is a designer's nightmare... but if you are insensitive to such professional standards... leave it skewed. Your arrangement makes it especially difficult to understand the text.

Please remember that no one owns an article here and other editors may adapt it to their own style so long as they do not insert errors. 83d40m 22:50, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
