Hi Phoe, please see [1] Paul venter 22:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
To attempt to settle this once and for all I will go through my edits that User:Paul venter has just reverted one by one. A picture of his wife is unnecessary. This is an article about George Albu and a photo of Lady Albu just isn't warranted. Secondly, photos should not be placed so they squeeze the text like that, and they don't need to be that large either. My edits to the opening line (ie places of birth/death) are backed up by Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)#Names. And the categories I added are also necessary. The "Article Under Construction" is not necessary, a template can be used if the article is under ACTIVE editing. -- Berks105 18:02, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Kindly go to Nathan Altman, Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Winston Churchill, Jan Smuts, Elizabeth I of England to see just a few articles that do not use thumbnail-size images. Please find someone else to bother. Paul venter 07:45, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello! I hope you don't mind if I pop in uninvited. Kittybrewster kindly asked for advice. You both have excellent points: we should follow policy and the manual of style in order to some consistency across Wikipedia, but at the same time we are advised that, if the rules prevent us from improving Wikipedia, we should ignore them. Some readers and editors like to set thumbnail sizes to a different size, but this option breaks when pixels are manually set (see Special:Preferences, tab titled "Files"). This is especially important for users with visual impairments and for users who simply want a larger picture or a smaller picture for whatever reason. Could we agree to redact the set pixel size, stick with thumb and let users decide what thumbnail size works best for them? -- Iamunknown 21:59, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
