What purpose is served by having the same picture twice in the same article? Am I missing something here? - Wikigi | talk to me | 20:26, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
I find the image File:Fisherman at Lake Merced.jpg far better for the lead than File:Girl with her fish.jpg as it shows the activity rather than the result, has higher aesthetic and much higher technical quality. However my proposal to use it in the lead has been reverted. Comments by other contributors would be welcome. There is a discussion going on at Featured pictures candidates about the merits of the image. Elekhh ( talk) 20:00, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
The caption on the main image is vague. This article is severely pro fishing, when it should be neutral. I suggest changing it to "Young girl smiling after taking the life of a fish." That's a more descriptive caption. TheiGuard ( talk) 15:00, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
@MonkeyMan1984: I understand you are adverse to the idea that girls or woman might like to fish, and you want a picture of a boy instead. The image of the boy you seem so keen on is already used in the main fishing article, and is the lead image in the angling article. It is overkill to have it here as well. You cannot simply keep trying to impose your personal preference on Wikipedia like this. You have to get agreement with other editors involved with the article. I have added a welcome to your talk page. It links some of the basic guidelines for people who want to contribute to Wikipedia. You should read those. You have the option of finding another image and then getting consensus on the talk page here. Do not continue reverting to the same image, as you do not have consensus for that, and your reverting is becoming tendentious. -- Epipelagic ( talk) 04:54, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
@Epipelagic: I have no problem with girls or women fishing, where would you even get that idea from? And I am not keen on the boy image, I actually preferred the "Fisherman at Lake Merced.jpg" image as the lead image, as many expressed their desire for in the previous Lead image discussion. My only objection to the "Little Girl" image was that it lacked aesthetic appeal (appearing as a typical family snapshot), and didn't show the actual act of sport fishing, but merely the desired end result. It is rather hypocritical of you to accuse me of imposing my own personal preference, as you continually reverted and rejected the majority's input about the lead image. After giving up on your insistent rejection of the "Lake Merced" image, I put forward the "Boy Fishing" image as a possible compromise, as some of your objections was that you wanted to "counter the stereotype that only old men fish", and your complaint that the "Lake Merced" image was "Depressing". After a brief disagreement on that image, you left the article alone with the boy image, and then randomly 7 months later deleted the lead image from the article all together. How is it that my reverting is becoming tendentious, however, your objection to an image, that nobody else had any objection to, and that the image that you desired that many others rejected, is not? I am reverting back to the boy image temporarily until we reach an agreement, however I believe that the Lead Image should be the "Fisherman at Lake Merced.jpg" as many expressed their desire for in the discussion "Lead image 1" above.

I think this article has been laid out really well, flows nicely, and is easy to read. I also think that there the pictures that are currently on the page work well with the topic at hand. The captions work well with the images and are easily related to the text. Overall, I think that this article is really well put together and brings in other articles nicely with hyperlinks. I would check the citations though, as one I clicked on did not work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Khs52 ( talk • contribs) 04:04, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
