Talk:Mississippi Blues Trail

List of Names
I was adding names following the list on the Mississippi Blues Trail website  in the order in which they appear on the site. Now I see I have duplicated some names. The article list is not in the same order as the website, so I am a little mixed up. – Mattisse (Talk) 17:17, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your work Mattisse. Unfortunately, the list is a bit outdated at this point: there are 54 listed on this article, and 168 listed on the Mississippi Blues Trail website. If someone wants to do the grunt work to add these new markers and help update it periodically, this article could be improved. 128.42.158.122 (talk) 19:39, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Close-up photos of signs
I removed close-up images of Blues Trail signs added by User:Ak198712. This article is about the trail, and not about specific markers. Textual information should be entered as text rather than as an image, per MOS:TEXTASIMAGES, and there is ample space to add specific notes about the sign.

The signs are what make the trail. The closeup photos of the signs are *literally* the trail. This is not even debatable. The images are not there to show the text of a given sign, the signs themselves are the literal trail. This is seriously not hard. Moreover, what constitutes close-up? Several other photos are obviously close to the signs, close enough to read. Your own measuring stick here is arbitrary. Ak198712 (talk) 23:53, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Since there is no response, let me further add how ridiculous it is to remove those pictures. The following signs in the table are close enough to read without zooming in: Ace Records, Chrisman Street, Church Street, Howlin Wolf, Ralph Lembo, Memphis Minnie, Mississippi John Hurt, with several others being of debatable readability. Moreover, the table is literally in place to showcase--in part--pictures of the signs. This is why the columns are labeled Marker Name, Marker Location, *Photograph*, and Notes. The notations would be things like the exact location of the sign, additional description not readily present, or other information not immediately included in one of the other columns. Furthermore, the logic of removing them doesn't hold. Is the offense that the picture of the marker--for which a specific column is included within the article's table--is too good, or perhaps gives too clear a picture of what the marker looks like? That simply does not hold water. Ak198712 (talk) 17:46, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
