Order of images in infobox

Isn't it more stringent and common to have the skyline (currently last image) as the first image in the infobox of city articles? Maxeto0910 (talk) 23:51, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Sydney Harbour Photo

https://commons.wikimedia.org/File:Sydney_Harbour_sunrise.jpg

I believe my photo is an improvment over the current photo as the photo shows the Sydney Harbour (including bridge and Opera house) as well as the North Shore and CBD of Sydney. Gibrate1 (talk) 07:04, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

It’s in silhouette, though. Artsy, but not good for the reader. Seasider53 (talk) 08:46, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Well.. not completley a silhouette as POI are still visible. Gibrate1 (talk) 10:28, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

My version also included the current Aboriginal Flag which replaced the NSW flag. Gibrate1 (talk) 10:36, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Yep, can't see that either. Seasider53 (talk) 12:01, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

I don't think it's a improvment since it has a digital watermark. Free images should not be watermarked as per WP:WATERMARK. Alexeyevitch 12:08, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Sydney Harbour photo#2

https://commons.wikimedia.org/File:Sydney_Harbour_Aboriginal_flag2.jpg

I have edited an re uploaded a new photo taken at McMahons point(closer vantage point) which features the Sydney Harbour with new Aboriginal flag.

I have increased the exposure selectively of the POI's including the Flags to be more informative to the viewer - infact more visible than current photo despite being a sunrise photo. My upload has no watermarks and is free to edit and use.

My intention of this submission is to inform the global Misplaced Pages audience about Australia's recent emergence of Aboriginal(first nations) people recognition of culture and civil rights issues. Gibrate1 (talk) 18:47, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

I prefer the image in the article since it has both the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour which are important to the city and should have an image of them in the infobox. Alexeyevitch 23:19, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
