Talk:Shadwell Court

Caption on infobox image does not comply with WP:CAP
The current caption for the infobox image is a gushing quotation (WP:TONE) and does not comply with the MOS for WP:CAP. The current caption is:

It reads like something from a movie poster or book jacket. I changed it to a more accurate one identifying the object with the date of the image, but was reverted twice by with the claim that this guy knows more than either of us, which doesn't make his quote an appropriate caption for an encyclopedic article.

The MOS states that first, a caption in an infobox is sometimes unnecessary, as it is clearly the subject of the article, but that it should meet the following criteria:
 * clearly identifies the subject of the picture, without detailing the obvious;
 * is succinct;
 * establishes the picture's relevance to the article;
 * provides context for the picture;
 * draws the reader into the article.

The does not at all identify the subject of the photo, nor is it succinct, nor does it provide context, etc. I'm fine with "drawing the reader in" by saying something like "Shadwell Court, pictured in 2014, is a celebrated example of Victorian architecture" but the bottom line is this quotation is un-encyclopedic in tone. Since KJP1 created this article I think this is an WP:OWNERSHIP issue so I'm pinging random people who work on country houses. Thank you. —KaliforniykaHi! 21:46, 21 July 2024 (UTC)


 * It is in quote marks so I really don't see it as a problem. Dormskirk (talk) 21:57, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
