Talk:Rolling-element bearing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The article on lubricants states that some roller bearings aren't lubricated at all. Maybe that kind of information could be incorporated here? Rvollmert 11:15, 2004 Jul 31 (UTC)
[edit] Adding images to the article?
I added a number of images to the article, but these have been repeatedly removed for, I believe, no good reason.
The reasons were:
rm images that are already covered in sub-articles. +commons link so all images are accessible
- Yeah, along with about 50 other images... you can't be serious.WolfKeeper 20:31, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
This is an unusually high number of images,
- No, not really. Actually most articles don't have enough images.WolfKeeper 20:31, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
and the two images on the left stack up and break up text..
- A little, but less so than if we put them on the right. If that's a problem for you, reformat the article, don't remove information. Make them a bit smaller or move them around.WolfKeeper 20:31, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm there seems to be a bug or something in the layout software if the width of the browser is over a particular range the image jumps in and leaves a hole. I've reformatted it and it no longer does that.WolfKeeper 20:31, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
While potentially useful, overview articles don't show all pictures used in sub-articles.
- There's no such policy. Show me such a policy. In any case we don't show all the pictures, we show one example of each bearing, in thumbnail form, and most of the specific articles have several different examples of the bearing, or they really should have.
Or perhaps you think this is duplication, but it really isn't, the images aren't really in the article they're still in the commons, and are being referred to, so it's not as if we're using more space, the images aren't copied anywhere. And if the image was modified it would change everywhere. There's no problem at all with using images in several places where appropriate.WolfKeeper 20:31, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- It's not a policy or technical issue, it's an aesthetics issue. As such, it's pointless to revert multiple times over it. Anyway, the smaller images do look better. The images on the left still jump away from the left side at ~1280px wide. And MSIE renders a lot of gaps between the paragraphs at 1920px wide. But maybe it's impossible to get perfect. --Interiot 00:02, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
