User talk:Tesseract2
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome to my talk page!
My attention may have been grabbed if someone deleted interesting content when it could have been (with only a little more effort) improved. That hurts Wikipedia.
This includes images. I often see people removing images without a second thought (images that were brought in from Wikimedia Commons). Using images to illustrate concepts is professional if done properly. Accomplishing this can require discussion (to build consensus on an image, or its caption). However, simply removing images makes wikipedia less engaging when we should have (a)written a better caption that grounds the image or (b) chosen another image. This issue is worth mentioning because many Wikipedia pages are starved for images (graphs, illustrations, etc).
You could check out WP:IUP (although it doesn't really talk about choice of image) or discussions revolving around Wikipedia:Choosing appropriate illustrations. The MOST relevant is WP:IMAGES (especially "choice and placement"). WP:TECHNICAL is relevant on this issue too.
