Adelaide
''It's not JUST a flower bed, it's King William Street, and it actually looks nice for once. Why can't it stay if adequate spacing is sorted, as Urban Layout from 1888 belongs in History'' I hope the above addresses your comments/statements/questions. If not, please feel free to ask me to clarify. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 13:43, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It's not JUST a flower bed - I didn't say it was!
 * it's King William Street - Errrrr, no. It's a small part of some of the bitumen that makes up the road surface, with a few cars on it. I can take a picture of any road anywhere that is mainly bitumen with a few cars on it, and it won't look significantly different from that picture. Its only redeeming feature is a bit of a flower bed, and that bit of flower bed is actually in Victoria Square, not in King Wm St. The picture doesn't show anything that is particular to King Wm St. Or to Adelaide, either.
 * and it actually looks nice for once. - What is the "it" that looks nice? And why "for once"?
 * Yes the flowers are pretty. But the expanse of bitumen is not pretty, and that does not "look nice".
 * Why can't it stay if adequate spacing is sorted, - Because, if there is adequate spacing, there are many much nicer pictures of Adelaide that could go there that would better illustrate the "Urban Layout".
 * Incidently, how does that picture illustrate the urban layout of Adelaide?
 * as Urban Layout from 1888 belongs in History - Pardon? The section is titled "Urban Layout". That's why a picture titled Urban Layout "belongs" in the section titled Urban Layout.
 * Again, if you want to put something extra in the "History" section, there are many much nicer pictures of Adelaide that could go there.


 * Hello. I find that the image is very pretty and have had a few comments from asking people to look at the Adelaide Wiki page, that photo frequently came up as the favourite. Bitumen is bitumen, every road has it, and to the average viewer it just looks like a road. I really hope it can stay, as it adds colour to the articles illustrations and makes our public spaces look nice and well kept. Jonah112 (talk) 03:35, 16 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Howdy.
 * First I must apologise for rudely failing to welcome you to wikipedia. Mea culpa. Welcome!
 * As you no doubt already know, anyone can edit wikipedia. The above posting by me is simply my opinion. You, and everyone else, also have opinions, as is evidenced by your statement: "that photo frequently came up as the favourite". Now that the layout issues have been resolved, I have no intention or desire to make further changes. But as you already know, my personal opinion is that there are better and more relevant photos that could fill that space.
 * Note, however, there may be other editors (over whom I have no control) who dislike the photo even more than I do, and they be motivated to do something. In that case, you will also have to convince them.
 * By-the-way: I continue to think that the mention in the original caption about the width of King Wm St is a relevant comment, and suggest that you may want to re-include that sentence. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 05:37, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
