There was something 'bout Scotland in this talk page. I erased it, since it has nothing to do with the Belem Tower.--Ciga 19:55, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Belem Tower

I thought Belem Tower was a coastal fort, meant to guard that entrance to the capital, but the article says it is a lighthouse. Can anyone explain this to me, since all the information and research I've done points to my point mentioned above?--Ciga 19:55, 10 January 2006 (UTC) I've seen no light on the top[ of the Belem Tower, it was a fort.CristianChirita

[edit] Should the gallery of images go to the Commons ?

Hi.

What do you thing of moving this gallery to the Commons page ?

--OsvaldoGago 22:58, 13 January 2006 (UTC) Maybe you should vote at: Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not/galleries

I don't understand this point of view, is not enough space for hosting the pictures, are the pictures not related to the article, can someone picture, the Belem tower, in words, better then in images? CristianChirita 02:07, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

All the images should be in Torre de Belém page in the commons. In my opinion you should upload the photos there, they deserve to be in the commons. If you think like a regular reader you may conclude that they wouldn't like an enciclopedia with an excessive number of images in every article. A page in the commons is the best place to put a lot of free (in the sense of freedom) images about a certain subject. --OsvaldoGago 20:15, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

It is your opinion, my opinion is that the regular reader want a lot of images in every article. The regular reader who has a minim minimorum level of english need images in order to understand the article. I as you wrote an article aboute the manueline window without picturing the image. This will transform Wikipedia in Vanity media. Feel free to describe the interior of Belem tower in words, it is pointless, but it is for the regular user sake. ( By the way is any research showing that regular user does not want to many pictures in articles?)CristianChirita

Good examples of image integration in pages of monuments include:

Eiffel Tower -> Eiffel Tower in the Commons

Colosseum -> Colosseum in the Commons

Museo del Prado -> Museo del Prado in the Commons

Notre_Dame -> Notre_Dame in the Commons

Can you show me English Wikipedia pages of famous monuments where your sugested way of disposing images is sucessfuly used ? --OsvaldoGago 21:37, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Another subject: By the way I noticed you put the name "Chirita" on some of those images (like this one or this one). Did you know that this is against the Image use policy (rules of thumb) (an official policy) ? (Quote: ...Don't put credits in images themselves...) The credits of images should go on image pages, not in images themselves. But this is something I believe you did't know and that you will fix easilly :-) --OsvaldoGago 21:37, 15 January 2006 (UTC) Plese delete the images that disturb you you have this right, you have the right to act.I've put the pictures in the article, hoping that in some day some one will have a better picture and a better comment. At least i've tried.

Any policy is subject to changes, and if not .. then it is only censorship :) anyway my policy is different, and anyone has the right to change the page I've uploaded or to delete the page.
