Architecture of cathedrals, basilicas and abbey churches
Please don't change any more of the images in that article. Neither change was suitable

If you look at the images, you will find that somebody sifted through thousands of possible picture, cropping a great many of them, in order to have galleries that
 * 1) conveyed the relevant information
 * 2) looked good when sitting beside each other because of scale, lighting, colour, angle and atmosphere (eg whether the sky was cloudy, washed out or intensely blue.)

Both the changes were inappropriate. The change to the first cathedral included a view of such large scale that it overpowered the two images next to it.

The second change was really inappropriate. There was a really fine picture of the interior of an Italian Gothic church, making a great contrast in architectural style to the two next to it. It was changed for a picture that:
 * 1) plainly didn't fit the format of that gallery: ie it looked bad. Obviously bad!
 * 2) it didn't demonstrate the point that Italian Gothic churches are quite dissimilar in style to Gothic churches from other parts of Europe, where the differences are far less marked.

I get sick of people crashing around, jamming in photos of buildings that they have visited, or are in their home town, or in their own country, or that they photographed themselves, simply in order to get them up on Wikipedia. The removal of that magnificent photo of Zanipolo, and replacement with a tall narrow picture of far lesser quality is utterly beyond my comprehension! Amandajm (talk) 04:28, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
