Talk:Brenham, Texas

Just a friendly suggestion from a soon-to-be new resident of Brenham, Texas. Consider introducing an image that best depicts the city of Brenham. Perhaps use one from the main https://visitbrenhamtexas.com/. Maybe > https://visitbrenhamtexas.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Old-Baylor-Towers-Bluebonnets-foreground.jpg or https://visitbrenhamtexas.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/7EE3934E-E74C-40ED-AD58-B22D9D697CE9-768x1024.jpeg

I make this friendly suggestion because when one Googles Brenham Texas, the image Google uses to depict Brenham is the image from 1873. If you introduce a new image and place it higher on the Wikipedia page, Google will begin to index the new image and display it when anyone performs a search for Brenham. It's called a Google knowledge panel. It's the information Google displays on its search results page (or SeRP) and displayed right-side.

Another option is to take ownership of the Google knowledge panel and update it directly. https://support.google.com/knowledgepanel/answer/7534842. When you see the "feedback" link at the bottom of the knowledge panel, click to begin making edits.

Again, just a friendly suggestion. (I'm an old webdev marketing guy)

I agree with you Johnny and there's a empty place for such a picture. But the website only uses pictures uploaded by the photographer and he must relinquish rights to it. I looked for an image that represented Brenham generally but didn't find one. I've added a lead image, but it doesn't satisfy the stated requirement for a skyline picture. Apparently this requirement had major cities in mind where you have a picture of skyscrapers against the sky like you see of Houston, Chicago or New York. Brenham doesn't have that. So see what you think. -- Jim Evans (talk) 18:32, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
