Images

No. I think one or two left aligned images is better. It is fairly standard practice to left align a few images when the accumulated vertical length of images is significantly greater than the body text. Without that there is too much white spaces between the See also and References sections. If we are to have two photos showing the effects of floods it would be appropriate to include information about the major floods, related weather events and damage caused within the body text. It would of been better if you had started a discussion about the image layout instead of reverting my edits. - Shiftchange (talk) 04:07, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

No? The two images with text crammed between looked very odd - you rarely see this in any layout in any books or websites. The length of text was about the same as the length of the images, which is why I only added those images and left the rest on commons. Yes more text could be added on floods, which I'm intending to add later. It would have been better if you had initiated discussion prior to making your changes to...

Are you using regular font sizes, standard thumbnail sizes and a common browser? I don't see two images with text crammed between. Where does that appear? Your edit creates too much white space as the second last photo starts at the same point as the see also section. It wasn't me who made the revert so a discussion about my changes wasn't apt. - Shiftchange (talk) 04:44, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

I think so...Internet explorer set at 125% on view window. You shifted an image to the left at top of the tributaries section which wedges the text partly between the infobox and the image on the right (as I view it). As I see the layout now there is no "white space" at all. The first image appears neatly under the infobox. Do I need to change something on my settings somewhere?

OK I changed to 100% and see the white space now...Hughesdarren (talk) 05:04, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

But I also still see the text cramming I described before if I revert to your version, do I need to be changing something else? Hughesdarren (talk) 05:07, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

I'm not certain. It can be a number of things. If you plan on expanding the article it doesn't really matter. If you see text cramming others might too. There is some complication related to the infobox which meant I couldn't just left align one image. I had to move them to the Tributaries section. Its not a big deal so lets just see how much we can improve the article going forward. - Shiftchange (talk)
