Infobox images change with new pictures & latest features[edit]

Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Infoboxes says Infoboxes may also include an image, a map, or both. It does not say seven images. Collages/montages are allowed; WP:MONTAGE says: Collages and montages are single images that illustrate multiple closely related concepts, where overlapping or similar careful placement of component images is necessary to illustrate a point in an encyclopedic way. ... If a gallery would serve as well as a collage or montage, the gallery should be preferred, as galleries are easier to maintain and adjust better to user preferences. What you have done is to create a gallery. That is fine, but it should not go in the infobox. The infobox should either have a single image or a collage/montage (which is what various editors keep reverting to). Personally I prefer the single image that Arjunaraoc put in the infobox at 11:30, 14 May 2023 after much discussion on the talk page (see Talk:Hyderabad/Archive 6#Rival photomontages).-- Toddy1(talk) 10:42, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I vote for this Infobox change. Does this need to be voted anywhere else too. Radhamadhab SarangiTalk | Contribs 18:08, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I find it weird that the two languages represented in IPA at the top of the article are Telugu and Urdu. Telugu makes sense, as that's the official and majority language spoken in Hyderabad, but Urdu is the language of Pakistan, and that gives me the idea that this article was mistaken as the article about Hyderabad, Pakistan. Maybe that IPA should be relabeled as Hindi or Hindustani? Smeyers31 (talk) 19:29, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Smeyers31: That's because both Telugu and Urdu are official languages in the state of Telangana, but Hindi isn't. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 19:41, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Correct. In fact, Urdu has been recognized as a second official language for the Telangana region of the erstwhile AP, since 1966. 2605:8D80:506:2E6E:7911:4F68:9DD8:6BBE (talk) 18:14, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Toddy1, can you please provide or direct me to the policy supporting your edit summary where you have reverted my edit saying: [3]. Because the other articles like New York City, London, New Delhi, Mumbai and many more cities globally are following the format in which I placed. 456legendtalk 11:01, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Infoboxes says "Infoboxes may also include an image, a map, or both." A photomontage is an image, so that is allowed (unfortunately). A gallery is a collection of many images, so that is not allowed.
As for the argument that other pages are messed up, so let's mess up this one too, you can use that to justify anything.-- Toddy1(talk) 12:31, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think you are reading that passage a little too narrowly and perhaps failing to see the intent of it past its particular wording. Using multiple images in infoboxes as such is pretty well-accepted, I genuinely think someone just wrote that line clumsily.Remsense诉 12:34, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
When infoboxes started there used to be literally one photograph in them. But then some guy started building photomontages (a.k.a. collages) as jpg files and putting them in infoboxes. This article used to have one of those but I replaced it with the same images in the multiple image template, because that allows us to have different alt text for each photograph. The text of the policy reflects what was normal. It is not clumsily worded. Some people are trying to impose a change of policy, without changing the policy. We just keep getting bigger and bigger infoboxes as a result of all this. Maybe in ten years time we will have people wanting to have 81 photos in the infobox (9x9).-- Toddy1(talk) 14:36, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Toddy1, I think you have misunderstood my concern. I only asked for the source where it mentions that multiple images are not allowed in a city infobox. I never suggested that we must use the same format as in other cities. By referring to other cities, my intention was to highlight that many other cities use such a format, leading to the assumption that it is an accepted norm. That's why I requested the source for the infobox image format to seek better clarification and to understand what is accepted and what is not. I don't understand why you are feeling irritated or frustrated; I am sorry if I came across that way. I don't understand why people think I am trying to start a conflict when I am not. I simply asked for the source to support the cluster image format, as there are many inconsistencies with the image formats of cities around the globe. 456legendtalk 00:44, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I never said that I was irritated or frustrated; I am astonished that you think I am. Another editor wondered whether the policy was "clumsily worded". So I tried to give some background.
As pointed out to you in another forum, this is a featured article, so there are a lot of page-watchers, and there have been previous discussions on the talk page about the image in the infobox.-- Toddy1(talk) 07:34, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @DrKay, I hope you are doing great. I have noticed that you reverted a few edits on the article but missed an intermediate change of importance involving the removal of a fictional flag from the article and placing the original flag. I assume it was a mistake in good faith on your behalf of reverting the other edits and have replaced the original flag in the place. If there are any further conflicts, please discuss them here. Thank you. Refer: [4]456legendtalk 18:08, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In the history of Hyderabad section, there is a discussion about the name of the city. It is implied that the city was named after the Caliph Ali. However, that more accurately describes the origins of the name of Hyderabad in Sindh. The origins of Hyderabad in India is through Hyder Mahal. Perhaps her name was inspired by Ali, but the distinction needs to be made. 2605:8D80:506:2E6E:7911:4F68:9DD8:6BBE (talk) 18:12, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
