Tasmania edit
is far becoming WP:NOTGALLERY territory - please note that it may well soon be pruned of the number of photographs. JarrahTree 08:40, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
Yeah, I think I was getting too comfortable with trying to "get the Tasmania page to be more similar to other state pages". I completely understand, and will restrict myself to only high-quality and informative images from Commons. --Mairremena (talk) 09:05, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
The fault is wikipedia wide - countries or cities in Asia are like advertising galleries before article - take care of items in the captions - where there are coloured links (maybe brown or fawn in colour) - it means that the title needs to be disambiguated - to a specific link.

Thank you, I will certainly keep that in mind now! Unfortunately, I was using other island divisions (like Hokkaido in Asia) as examples (as well as the rest of Australia, Canada, and Europe) when I was editing Tasmania. Perhaps it could be better that there should be a certain amount of text before there is an ascribed image put to it? --Mairremena (talk) 09:39, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
- there's the rub - that's a point between - where some practices work - and others dont get adequately resolved. Then there are also rules that are implemented, while some areas are negotiable. Not really interested in giving chapter and verse here of the last ten years on that one, maybe when I am in Hobart sometime over a coffee or beer. Its a mixture of tedium, hohum, and geewhiz.
