[edit] Image Guidelines
Some use of images in the neighbourhood articles have been somewhat indiscriminate. In accordance with Wikipedia:Images#Image_choice_and_placement, I would like to propose some image guidelines.
[edit] Quality
- The subject of the the photo should be clear from the thumbnail size
- Photos taken in dim light or from moving vehicles should not be used
- Photos taken in winter should only be used if taken near midday with clear skies. The sun's low angle
[edit] Relevance
- Photos must relate to the prose of the article
- One photo per subject (e.g. park, school) unless it's sufficiently notable to use as a skyline image
- Photos that are not distinctive to the neighbourhood (that look like they could be of anywhere) should be avoided
[edit] Placement
- Photos about a certain topic, person or place in the prose should be placed as close as possible to the text (e.g. a park image should go under Parks and Recreation, a school would be in Education or school infobox, etc.
- The skyline image for the Settlement infobox should be of a building, place or event that uniquely identifies the neighbourhood and sets it apart from all others. A building with particular architectural significance, or a park or other location that is a landmark in the neighbourhood would qualify.
- Avoid placing images in short sections of prose, as they will misalign the flush left alignment of subsequent section headings. This can be overcome by using the tag <br clear="left" />, as long as a large gap of white space does not result.
