[edit] Gothic architecture
Hi 7castle! Welcome to wiki! I found your new pics in Gothic architecture and moved them both down to the gallery at the foot of the page. The reason is that every photo that is in the text has been chosen from hundreds that are available, to illustrate specific points.
What the article is about is the "big picture", so to speak. It isn't about illustrating or including favourites. The pics are all chosen to make specific points. So, the section on arches has one example of lancet arches, one example of equilateral arches, one example of depressed arches. That is all there is room for. They have been chosen, so that the reader can then look and say to themselves "Ah ha, I see that the arches at my cathedral are mostly equilateral, and have "flamboyant" decoration" (for example). The pics are linked directly to the descriptions in the text of the types of arches.
About the exterior pic, it simply doesn't fit into the already crowded space. When you put an extra pic in, everything, the text and the pictures around it get pushed down. The result, in that case, was that the text suddenly got a great big gap in it. On my screen, which is a wide screen, the gap went for almost the whole length of the picture. This is a problem that you have to watch every time you add a pic. So you must alwyas check the "show preview". If you see a big white space, then you must recognise that it is the result of your edit. (Some people simply don't recognise that they have caused this to happen, or why it has happened.)
The best way to go from here is to recognize that there is also a big gap in Wikipedia! We really need articles on the Architecture of Eastern Europe. I have been urged to write it, but I do not have enough knowledge. I cannot even begin to name the famous cathedrals, in the way I can for Western Europe.
Can I suggest that you leave the interior shot of the cathedral in the Gothic architecture gallery, where it is now, and remove the external picture to the gallery at the foot of the page called Cathedral, where it will be in good company with styles and denominations of all sorts.
