Talk:Roland Hartley House

Photo gallery
I have restored the photo gallery. Rather than deleting content, I suggest editors expand the content and then size and distribute the images throughout the expanded article. I have added the NRHP nomination as a reference and information to expand the article is available there. If there is a more concise and appropriate way to include the images until the article is expanded that would be preferable. MrBill3 (talk) 07:14, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
 * , I removed the gallery per WP:GALLERY and agree, the images are great but should be incorporated throughout the article has the text is expanded. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 14:19, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I think images greatly increase the information a reader can gain. Particularly in illustrating an architectural description. WP:Gallery "a collection of images can illustrate aspects of a subject that cannot be easily or adequately described by text or individual images." I have paraphrased quite a few building descriptions and I can verify if a paraphrasing is architecturally accurate but it is sometimes difficult to visualize, even with some experience. For a "lay" reader images of architectural details convey the aforementioned "aspects of a subject". I think thus galleries for NRHP buildings are in compliance with policy.
 * , I present this argument here thinking after our discussion I'd like to go to the NRHP project talk page and see about establishing a local consensus for appropriate galleries for NRHP articles. I agree and would prefer expanded prose with images sized and placed well. I am not quite crafting clear, precise and engaging galleries and would rather see an improvement in gallery form that would be an basic exemplar than deletion. I appreciate your contributions and input. Pointers to policy are particularly useful, as a rusty but experienced editor I like to start with P&G for uniformity and not to reinvent the wheel. Best.

Append: Without the images the way the article stands a reader would have very little information on the subject of the article. The information conveyed by the photos is specific to the subject and is not present in the article in another form. MrBill3 (talk) 07:16, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
