Merger proposal[edit]

This page contains the census and demographic information for Taos Pueblo, the main page for this topic, and the two pages should probably be merged to avoid duplication and confusing users. Pete Tillman (talk) 21:07, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This article is on the wider community, the census-designated place, while the other (as far as I can see) covers the architectural structure itself. Consider the map on this article: it's accurate for this article, but probably quite inaccurate for the pueblo article itself. Nyttend (talk) 22:04, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The two articles overlap, and confuse me, at least. Taos Pueblo covers both the pueblo itself, the adjacent modern housing, and (to some degree) the entire Taos Indian Reservation, which doesn't have a separate article. The CDP appears to cover the old pueblo plus most of the nearby reservation settlement. I don't really know how to disentangle them. Pete Tillman (talk) 04:39, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since Taos Pueblo is a World Heritage Site, it should center on the pueblo with some comments about related matters (including the surrounding community), while the CDP article should concentrate on the community as a whole while mentioning the World Heritage Site within its boundaries. There's nothing wrong with a little overlap — indeed, good, so that the WHS and the CDP can have some context from the other — and I don't think that the current amount is a big problem, especially not a big enough problem to warrant merging.

Oppose. This is about the community. The other article is about the "building". There are a lot of articles about buildings which appear on the National Register of Historic Places which are separate from the communities in which they are located. I think Taos Pueblo, being a National Historic Landmark, is in a similar situation. →Wordbuilder (talk) 00:31, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Layout[edit]

User:Skyerise appears to think that a layout in which one full picture and part of another stick out below the "External links" section of the article [1] is better than one in which the two images are integrated into the article by way of a gallery.[2] I think it's obvious that this is not the case, and request input from other editor as to which layout they feel is better for the article.

Responders should note: Galleries cause problems with screen-readers for the blind. Default image width is 220px and arbitrarily enlarging images except for maps, text and other hard-to-see items is specifically discouraged by the Image Use Policy. Skyerise (talk) 04:54, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also BYK has not discussed, nor did he wait for a compromise edit. This is the version I propose, not the one linked above. Skyerise (talk) 04:58, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So the, say, 40% or so of Wikipedia articles which have galleries are all a problem? Where is this policy that we are not to use galleries anymore written? Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:57, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Galleries do not have alt-text. Screen readers make use of alt-text. But you always discount the needs of the blind or vision-impaired. Have some compassion. Skyerise (talk) 05:00, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please answer my question, where in Wikipedia policy does it say that we cannot use galleries? Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:23, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please answer this question, do you have compassion for the visually impaired or not? Are you willing to learn what use of images causes a problem for them or not? Skyerise (talk) 05:26, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No, I have not stopped beating my wife. Beyond My Ken (talk) 06:05, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I thought. You know, I usually just take the articles you are involved with off my watchlist when you act out like this. But this is different, you came here on purpose, or watchlisted this article on purpose, to mess with me. I know it and you know it. It doesn't really matter whether the admins can figure that out. You know how you are. Why are you like that? This is not a video game. Skyerise (talk) 06:20, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
