Image in wrong place
The image of Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum (Egypt, Africa) is placed in the Americas section. --2804:2FB0:70D:2A00:80CE:EB40:2F2F:47A8 (talk) 17:57, 10 July 2024 (UTC)


 * This is a display artefact based on screen layout and resolution. The image is correctly placed in the article (as in, the article's Wikimarkup) but displays incorrectly if the article itself is viewed with a larger screen. For me, I see it at the bottom of the Americas section on my large monitor. If I shrink my browser to a narrower layout, it displays in the correct place. I've seen this behaviour in a lot of pages, normally when an infobox 'squashes' the text. The only way I've seen to fix this is to move the image lower in the section. Anyone have a better solution?

 * Yes, you are right. Thanks for explaining. --2804:2FB0:70D:2A00:655A:7F4B:2F7A:6E55 (talk) 20:49, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Shouldn't we change the picture?
Shouldn't there be another imagine instead of this one? Since the Apollon et Cyparisse by Claude Marie Dubufe, 1821 is crealy a depiction of greek mythological pederasty, I think we should change it. 2A02:2F00:3203:3200:4939:FB23:EC70:E19B (talk) 00:36, 17 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Past versions of this article used File:TwoMenKiss.GayPrideParade.WDC.10June2017.jpg, and was replaced last month, with the rationale that Apollon et Cyparisse is SFW and a renowned painting. I agree with your reasoning (that it's better to illustrate this topic with real people) and I've gone ahead and restored this as the first image in the article. –RoxySaunders 🏳️‍⚧️ (💬 • 📝) 04:11, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you @RoxySaunders! I wholeheartedly support this change. The previous replacement of the picture escaped notice and was done for highly inappropriate reasons; if someone thinks that two fully-clothed men kissing is NSFW, they have more problems than an encyclopaedia can fix. The image you restored is both better at illustrating the subject and more vibrant. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 13:59, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you as well Roxy! I thought the painting was a bad depiction of gay men because it depics a grown man ( or should I say a grown God ) with a teenage boy.
 * This new picture that you restored is a much better depiction. 2A02:2F00:3203:3200:4939:FB23:EC70:E19B (talk) 15:41, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * As a courtesy, the change to File:Claude Marie Dubufe-Apollon et Cyparisse.jpg occured in Special:Diff/1230416906. I'm hard-pressed to say whether the painting's depiction of Achillean handholding between two naked male figures (genitalia tastefully obscured) is more or less scandalous than a same-sex kiss. –RoxySaunders 🏳️‍⚧️ (💬 • 📝) 02:46, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
