[edit] Balance of images vs. text

All 3 images lined up to me makes the article looks unbalanced given how much text there currently is. I created a Commons category for Inro and linked to it (this is the {{Commonscat}) tag) so all inro images can be viewed. Commons images do not get deleted without reason (found to be a copyvio, etc.) even if no project uses them. If readers want to find further examples the link points them to this resource. If the article expands further then additional images can be added back in. I personally do not believe that a gallery belongs in this article (or for any article for that matter) if the images in it are duplicative of Commons content since galleries can be set up there and also linked to.

Yes, you're right. If and when I or someone else adds substantially to the article, perhaps it will be appropriate to put those images back in. Cshapiro (talk) 13:06, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

I didn't previously know about inro until I saw them in a museum earlier this year. It would be good if the article can be expanded. --BrokenSphere^{Msg me} 14:50, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
