Replacement Image[edit]

As nice as the image of the pig is, I'd like to replace it with [[1]], is that okay? Oliyoung 10:57, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I support the new image! The pig is, well, at least graciously photographed; they tend to have, um, large appendages...--Cyberjunkie | Talk 11:10, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have no right to expect both my photos stay. I have added yours. I intended to crop the pig tighter (remove most of the handler and the steward along the right side), and the style guide says I should have put the pig on the left facing into the page. The sideshow alley picture is definitely valuable to the world audience who don't know what a "show" is, but I think a livestock picture should be there too. Unfortunately I don't think I have any decent pictures of the Grand Parade. The photos should describe what a Royal Show is to people who have no idea, and what distinguishes the Adelaide one from the other capital city Royals. I haven't been to any other Royal Show recently enough to be useful. --Scott Davis ^Talk 13:20, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nice edit Scott, this is why i didn't merely add my photo, the new layout works really well, all three photos are representive of the show Oliyoung 01:26, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've no problem with all three staying. The pig photo works better small: it was mightily imposing beforehand. A photo of the entrance, with the Ferris wheel rising behind it, would be great if anyone can manage it. --Cyberjunkie | Talk 14:31, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry - I had a few minutes, so skimmed through the photos I had taken, and picked the ones I thought best represented the show and added them. With luck I'll have a better woodchopping one too, but I'm not sure. I don't have any of the northern part of the grounds, and won't be going back to take one - over to you Oli or CJ. I tried for a daylight Grand Parade photo yesterday, but most beef cattle had gone home, and the dairy cattle were busy with interbreed judging so weren't in the parade. :-( I've only just realised I didn't take any dairy cattle photos either. :-( --Scott Davis ^Talk 00:14, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, a year ago. Well the pig is perfect, a big hog perfectly shows what the show is largely aboutJayKeaton 07:19, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

'Royal Show' vs 'Show'[edit]

Is the show still called the Royal Show in every day ussage? It was when I was growing up. Different searches on google seem to indicate so. An example of this is the State Govt transport link [2]. Should reference to this be made? Ozdaren 02:01, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure it matters a great deal either way. If you feel the article would benefit, then go ahead :-) Muzzamo 04:04, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is so amazing :o  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lachlan adderley (talk • contribs) 04:56, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Images[edit]

Having all the images stacked up like that makes the section [EDIT] buttons impossible to find as all the buttons bunch up at the bottom JayKeaton 14:39, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And on the subject of images, why were they all taken at dusk with the walls casting shadows over everything? JayKeaton 14:41, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reorganisation[edit]

I'm unsure as to why the paragraph about the "Wine Tunnel" is in the bit with the rides, but I'm unsure as to where to move it myself. Could someone tidy up that area a little bit? Also, since there has now been three ride incidents at the Royal Adelaide Show, should there be a new category under contents for them with a paragraph each? --StevwoodProductions (talk) 22:54, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
