Hi Backofbourke99,
I noticed that you reverted my edit of Budapest's Palace District. I know you spent a lot of time collecting and uploading all those images, but do they really all contribute to the article? To quote the Wikipedia Manual of Style: Images must be significant and relevant in the topic's context, not primarily decorative. Wikipedia is a encyclopedia and if you open a "classical" encyclopedia, you'll find primarily text, with few, but highly relevant images. In my opinion, the current amount of images in the article ist too high, they distract from the text, are only marginally significant and even destroy the formatting. They make the article inaccessible for people with small screens or a slow internet connection. They do more harm than good.
By removing the images from the article, they are not lost. Most of them are already properly categorized and therefore easily accessible in the Wikimedia Commons category Palace District (Budapest). This category can be linked in the article, so a reader searching for more images can easily find them.
With all that said, I hope you consider reducing the number of images directly included in the article. It would certainly help to make this nice, interesting article more accessible and easier to comprehend.
Cheers, --Andel (talk) 18:59, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
