I deleted a number of images from the article as "inappropriate", and the article's creator restored them, asking for an explanation. Primarily, my reason was that Wikipedia is not a gallery. Many people interpret this very strictly, but I do not, since I believe a good number of images in an article are helpful to the reader, but in this case, a head shot of the architect who designed the new building, a "moody" shot of the reflection of the "Staten Island Ferry" sign in the water, a picture of passengers in the terminal, an aerial shot that requires a larger presentation to be easily visibile to the reader -- I felt these were all extraneous, and, in any case, could be easily reached through the Commons link in the External Links section. For this reason, I have restored the layout as I left it. I urge the article's creator to read WP:NOTGALLERY and, for good measure WP:OWNERSHIP. Thanks, Beyond My Ken ( talk) 17:42, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Your question is an excellent one, and one that I should have asked myself. I'm going to take a look at what's available at the Commons, and if anything strikes me as interesting or valuable, I'll add it in. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 02:11, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
Let me see if I can help that by adjusting the visibility of the plaque image. In the meantime, I found a historic image in the LoC collection and added it to the article. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 04:32, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
As for specifics about the remaining photos I removed:
The result of the move request was: not moved Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 04:57, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Staten Island Ferry Whitehall Terminal → Whitehall Terminal – It doesn't have to be specific in the title, saying it's the Staten Island Ferry Whitehall Terminal. This may be the only Whitehall Terminal, so change it to Whitehall Terminal itself. 68.44.51.49 ( talk) 22:22, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
The Staten Island Ferry Whitehall Terminal is no more a New York City subway stop than is any other building which sits next to a subway station. Therefore, the NYCS stop infobox is not appropriate to add to the article. Please do not do so again. BMK ( talk) 17:17, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
An editor moved the article to "Whitehall Terminal (Staten Island Ferry terminal)". Since there was no discussion, I reverted the move. The editor should get a consensus for such a move before making it. BMK ( talk) 23:48, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
Who here can fix the coordinates for this terminal? Because I was ready to add the geotag to the commons category, until I realized the coordinates are about one block off to the northeast. --------- User:DanTD ( talk) 13:43, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
Seems to me we're saying too much. Jim.henderson ( talk)
