Galveston County Library System

I will go ahead and place the original revision here: User:Nsaum75/Galveston County Library System :) WhisperToMe (talk) 10:46, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

• Done. I made a slight revision so the userified article isn't counted in any categories (the nowiki tag) WhisperToMe (talk) 10:48, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
• I'm enjoying it quite a bit. It's fun to stroll around French cities and smell the goodies from the bakeries :) WhisperToMe (talk) 10:55, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

As for the map, thanks in advance! If the airport indeed falls in the boundaries, the article needs to state such. Also El Al needs to be updated with the actual municipality noted. In addition the El Al and airport articles in Hebrew need to be checked too. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:41, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

TCH Photo

IMO, the lighting of the first image appears more natural down at street level in front of the building and also in the left background in front of the St. Lukes building. The TCH building looks lighter in the second image. Both look good, but I would pick the first one. Postoak (talk) 01:51, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

I also prefer the first image - more of the color was kept in it. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:19, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I made the changes. I friggin wish something could be done about the degradation of quality and colour by Wiki software. Then again, I guess people don't come to Wiki for its photographic quality. :-) Cheers! --nsaum75 05:00, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Maybe so, but the photographs you've provided Misplaced Pages are top quality! Postoak (talk) 05:33, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Photos in Israel

This This is not my talk page, and I outright reject the idea that these photos must be in the article. Yes, there are two ways to look at it; we could either expand an already long and comprehensive article just so the photos Gilabrand wants can fit in the article (and I should add most of these were removed not solely because of space), or we could remove photos to accommodate the wealth of information already there. I'm going to choose the latter. Sorry. I don't know where you and Gilabrand get the idea that the more photos there are, the better, but it's blatantly misguided. If you so desperately think the pictures should be in the article, especially those pictures that don't fit currently, then you -- not me -- should be the one spending time expanding the article. I don't think they're important enough to waste my time accommodating them. -- tariqabjotu 16:00, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

I think you may have linked to the wrong section on Gila Brand's talk page, but regardless, you and Gila were having a discussion on the issue, so I felt it was an appropriate place to respond. Furthermore, if you feel that expanding and improving Misplaced Pages articles -- via photos, additional text or revised sections etc. -- is a "waste" of your time, then perhaps you're on the wrong website. Regards. --nsaum75 20:22, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

That's not expanding and improving the article; that was adding pictures to an article with abandon. On the article talk page, I quoted a part of image guidelines that asks that people consider space and relevance when adding images. Gilabrand did not do that, and you're encouraging her not to. As I said, if you think we're supposed to add images of questionable relevance -- and I enumerated their deficiencies on Gilabrand's talk page -- then add filler content to an article to accommodate them, you don't know what you're talking about. Your "wrong website" remark means nothing to me; you and Gilabrand don't even understand that pictures are supposed to illustrate text of the article, not the other way around, so I don't think your opinion on this matter is worth much. -- tariqabjotu 09:48, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for enumerating my point on why you may be on the wrong website. Regards --nsaum75 16:55, 23 February 2010 (UTC).
