[edit] Images

Wikipedia is not a gallery. There are already images in the article. Excess of images is detrimental to wikipedia. Please stop your futile actions that try to make the articles Porto and Lisbon look like a touristical photographic essay. The Ogre (talk) 21:14, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

There are already images in the articles, they do not need to be clustered with images - for galleries and the like use the Commons. That works as a repository of multimedia files such as images, movies and audio. See WP:NOTREPOSITORY:

Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files. Mere collections of external links or Internet directories. There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate. See Wikipedia:External links for some guidelines. Mere collections of internal links, except for disambiguation pages when an article title is ambiguous, and for lists to assist with article organisation and navigation; for these, please follow the guidelines outlined at Wikipedia:Lists#List content. Mere collections of public domain or other source material such as entire books or source code, original historical documents, letters, laws, proclamations, and other source material that are only useful when presented with their original, un-modified wording. Complete copies of primary sources may go into Wikisource, but not on Wikipedia. There is nothing wrong with using public domain resources such as 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica to add content to an article. See also Wikipedia:Don't include copies of primary sources and Wikisource's inclusion policy. Mere collections of photographs or media files with no text to go with the articles. If you are interested in presenting a picture, please provide an encyclopedic context, or consider adding it to Wikimedia Commons. If a picture comes from a public domain source on a website, then consider adding it to Wikipedia:Images with missing articles or Wikipedia:Public domain image resources.

Do not persist. Thank you. The Ogre (talk) 21:26, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
