[edit] Image facing

This article has seen some great work. My only complaint, a minor quibble, is faces should face into the page. Currently Dickens is giving proper and stern attention to the text, but Oscar Wilde is interested in the blank margin to his left and Vivien Leigh is fixated on the little blue [edit] button to her upper right. I'll try a slight re-arrangement for better facings (see WP:MoS#Images, bullet #4, Exception). -- Stbalbach 02:35, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I see what you mean, but this is not optimal either, because images should ideally alternate left and right in articles, beginning with the right side; and also the image should not move headings away from the left margin. -- Ssilvers 04:18, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah it's a trade off - staggering and image facing are often trade offs, I find image facing more important aesthetically - the alternative is process the photos to change the facing, or find new photos. I added the hard break so the References header would be assured to be against the left margin, as you say. Was the break causing a problem on your screen? On my screen, without the break, the References header is up against the lower right corner of Vivien's picture. -- Stbalbach 06:05, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I think that moving the heading to the right of the Leigh photo looks awful. I give up. -- Ssilvers 01:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Per WP:MOS#Images:

Do not place left-aligned images directly below second-level (===) headings, as this disconnects the heading from the text it precedes. Instead, place the image directly above the heading. For example...
