Can't this article ever progress with out you constantly reverting it back to it's oldest form? It seems (from reading the history) that any time some one contributes you revert it back. This is not progression but taking steps back. Please use the talk page.

The one image you added of the firescape causes problems and simply is not helpful to a featured article due to the poor resolution at the size needed to try and contain it...it also makes most users have to use the vertical scroll. The link you added to the commons gallery isn't needed as there already is a link in the references cited section.--MONGO 08:18, 15 November 2006 (UTC)


The panoramic photograph demonstrates the effect fires have on Yellowstone. It clearly illistrates the life cycle with in the park. How is that not useful? You also say that it's resolution is too low? How can that be when the picture is over a megapixel or two in size!

In order for almost anyone to be able to see it, it would take up too much of the page...why not just leave it in Commons and allow people to go there. In the article, one is forced to use the vertical scroll in many cases and this is not acceptable for a featured article. The rest of your work is fine...I'll make sure the images is on commons and and remove it along with the link to commons that you added, as we have a link already located in the references cited section.--MONGO 08:32, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

99% of the viewing public will not go to or know how to find wikicommons or that such a place exists, with it being there where it was, it will get many more views. Putting a photo in the article can help save space because it works to replace a thousand words.

I did not see a vertical scroll on my computer. My screen resolution is 1600x1200 and the picture was set to 1150px.

Did you take the images? What is the big deal...it is not helpful to the article.
