Technical

Does anyone know if there's a way to force the Reference section numerals to the right, to leave a margin next to the image? Vzeebjtf (talk) 19:24, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

I suspect that that would be Doing It Wrong... ;) The images should really be located according to semantics (above the text relating to them in the wiki markup) since there are a variety of ways to "view" wikipedia pages, including sightlessly. In fact, adding alt text to images efficiently is something I'm trying to get geared up for... but viewing on mobile devices is increasingly common, and even the layout on a desktop browser can vary a lot by user preference... anyway, I added "upright" parameters to the thumbs and a break above the ref section, see if that looks better. --jnkyrdsprkl (talk) 20:14, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

(Really, probably one of the two should be in the gallery, though.) --jnkyrdsprkl (talk) 20:19, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Would you show us your ideal layout for this page, please? Vzeebjtf (talk) 21:54, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

I'm not really a layout monkey, and I don't have a good sense of the relative significance of the various images to the subject, and as mentioned above, you can never be sure that what looks nice with your own screen, text, and image size settings won't completely bork it for somebody else, and vice versa... so I mostly busy myself with trying to get the images themselves to look good. :) That said, I'll impose my packed-gallery tastes on the page, and you can feel free to take it with a grain of salt, revert at will, no hard feelings, etc. --jnkyrdsprkl (talk) 22:40, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

It occurs to me that the images on the page could be limited to structures that don't have their own articles, after {{main}} tags have been added to the sections for those that do. --jnkyrdsprkl (talk) 00:57, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

The same could be true of the text: each building could be listed with only a link, no content. All those listed so far have their own articles, so the section would be reduced to a list. OK with me; there's no need for repetition of material. Vzeebjtf (talk) 01:18, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
