Caption for 1894 plan is too long

edit

The caption for the 1894 plan is far too long. I tried to punctuate in meaningfully, but it's still too hard to parse. If it were in the body text, I'd be using bullet points not one long sentence. I did contemplate just deleting the "notable features" sentence, but that might be just a bit too bold. Any other suggestions? Mitch Ames (talk) 13:08, 29 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Yeah its a bit cludgy, same issue theres too many points of interest to highlight in the one use. Think maybe just remove but the image looses too much value. Maybe just pick whats the most significant point to highlight, there are more maps of freo to come earliest 1833 & 1834 Gnangarra 15:02, 29 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
If the image "loses to much value" when you remove the caption, then it is not a very good image. Perhaps one should
  1. edit the image to create a copy with points of interest marked (possibly just by numbers - see 3 below) on the image
  2. put the image - full size - into the article
  3. add descriptive text referencing the points marked on the image
Ie if the caption text is valuable (which I'm not disputing) move it into the article's main text. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:57, 30 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
