Talk:Carillon/Archive 2

Gallery
I am removing the "cleanup" tag at the head of the image gallery, which states "Galleries containing indiscriminate images of the article subject are discouraged". WP:IG (the policy page to which the tag links) states: "The images in the gallery collectively must have encyclopedic value and add to the reader's understanding of the subject. Images in a gallery should be suitably captioned to explain their relevance both to the article subject and to the theme of the gallery, and the gallery should be appropriately titled (unless the theme of the gallery is clear from the context of the article). Images in a gallery should be carefully selected, avoiding similar or repetitive images, unless a point of contrast or comparison is being made." It seems to me that, apart from lacking a title (which I will add), the gallery adequately meets most of those criteria. GrindtXX (talk) 21:15, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Archiving
if we are to archive some of this page to a non-standard archive page, then can we please furnish a link to it from here so that people might find it later? And why is it a non-standard archive page in the first place? Can we please set up normal auto-archiving here? Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 04:12, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, this was my first attempt at archiving. You may be aware that I've been working tirelessly on improving this article (with the end goal of achieving WP:GA, which recommends cleaning up the talk page). I don't understand why the main talk page isn't linking to the archived page—I followed the manual archiving tutorial to a T. And please by all means, let's switch to the standard method—I wasn't aware that there was one.Thrakkx (talk) 04:17, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , okay, thanks for your work!!! I appreciate that stuff! Don't worry too much about getting it right, as long as you try, right? Ok, so I enabled auto archiving and I requested speedy deletion for the topical archive you created. I have WP:OneClickArchiver'd a few threads into the archive to prove it exists and is linked. Let's wait for a bot to come around and sweep the rest up. There should be about 4 threads left when bot's done with it. Elizium23 (talk) 05:16, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * how do we get the WP:OneClickArchiver to archive the rest of the threads on this talk page? Besides this one, they're are all over 4 years old. Thrakkx (talk) 20:28, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Deletion of galleries
The extensive deletion of galleries seem to have made disappear some useful information which was in accordance with WP:GALLERY or could have been improved instead. Therefore I intend to add these back to the article. Best, --ThT (talk) 20:09, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I thought I would give my reasoning for this change, given that I did not in the edit summary. For the Mechanical Gallery specifically, this was two sets of two pictures which were related (two mechanical drums, two keyboards), but should simply have been placed next to the text about a carillon's construction. At the time, there was no such section. Now, there is, and it features images of mechanical drums and keyboards. I think it was the right move to delete this gallery per WP:GALLERY.
 * For the "Gallery of Notable Carillons," the longwinded captions contained specific facts on individual carillons, such as the year they were built, their exact location, and the like. This information is better included as written prose under its entry on List of carillons. Per WP:GALLERY, I chose to move most these images to the relevant Commons category, and shrink the gallery down to the size it's at now.
 * You're welcome to add back information to this article if you like, but I would not bring back the galleries exactly as they were.Thrakkx (talk) 20:38, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
