Talk:Denver Firefighters Museum

Removal of article photo
the recent change left this article without a default photo. See, for example, how it appears in the Nearby feature. Makes it look ugly. Can you either change the artcle so the current photo appears as the default or restore the removed photo? Thanks. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby#/coord/39.7442408,-104.9907107 - Scarpy (talk) 01:45, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Can you point me to a formal policy that defines "default picture"? Or is this something that someone has made up? There is no need to have two, nearly identical pictures on the same page. Best wishes, Jeffrey Beall (talk) 11:26, 15 July 2018 (UTC).
 * I suppose the term is "page image." This might make the distinction clearer than it was in the previous link I provided you.


 * Page information for Troublesome, Colorado - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Troublesome,_Colorado&action=info (note that there is a page image)
 * Page information for Denver Firefighters Museum - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Denver_Firefighters_Museum&action=info (note there is currently no page image, although there are images in the article)


 * I'll admit I've seen plenty of articles that contain images for which the "page image" (which is what seems to be used in the Special:Nearby feature) does not exist. It seems to me that it only wants to pick images that are used as thumbs in the lead section, although I haven't seen this documented anywhere. I figured with your level of interest you would certainly know... At any rate, looking now there is some Media Wiki help documentation, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PageImages#Image_choice and it looks like it confirms my suspicion as to Wikipedia's selection process "If $wgPageImagesLeadSectionOnly is true, only images in the lead section will be considered. Currently it is true for only Wikipedia projects, all other projects can pull images from outside the lead."


 * Is there a reason why the current image isn't in the lead section? - Scarpy (talk) 20:38, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Good question. In fact, there's no need for the museum infobox (the one of the two that's at the top of the page), because it only has two lines filled in, and the information is repeated in the article. So, ideally, I think the NRHP infobox should be at the top of the page, and the museum infobox removed. Jeffrey Beall (talk) 21:22, 15 July 2018 (UTC).


 * Thanks, removed the museum infobox and put the NRHP infobox in the lead. - Scarpy (talk) 23:12, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
