Removal of Pure blood theory in Korea from "See also"

An editor is edit-warring to remove Pure blood theory in Korea from the "See also" section, without providing an explanation of why they desire this change. I have asked them to come here and make their argument for this deletion, [1] but they simply deleted my comment from their talk page. [2]

Is there a consensus here about this? Is Pure blood theory in Korea appropriate to be in the "See also" section of this article, or not?

Yes, pretty related and appropriate to keep it there. –Vipz (talk) 00:02, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Image alignment

@Beyond My Ken: Could you please provide a rationale what exact sense it makes here to have a single picture stick out being left-aligned? I don't see the point, actually. Hildeoc (talk) 00:40, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Visual balance requires that images be spread throughout the article, and placed on both the left and right sides of the article. In short, an article in which all the images are on one side is visually boring. A variety of placement keeps the page fresh for the reader, the person for whom we are constructing this encyclopedia. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:20, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Please see Help:Pictures#Alternating left and right, and note the detailed instructions on how to place images on the left at Help:Pictures#On the left. If it were expected that all pictures were to be placed on the right, and that this was the preferred place for them (as opposed to the default place, which is not the same thing), there would be no reason to include these instructions on a help page. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:24, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Note also that even MOS:IMAGELOC, which you cited, gives advice on when to, and when not to, place images on the left. Again, this advice would be unnecessary if it were expected that all images would be placed on the right. It is the case that the majority of images end up on the right, but many articles of that sort are visually boring. Good articles avoid such visual monotony.

@Beyond My Ken: Thank you for stating your stance, which I can comprehend to some extent, in fact. But does this really make sense with only a single image being placed on the left here? Hildeoc (talk) 23:04, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Yes, it does. With the image on the right, with all the other images also on the right, the right side of the article is crowded and badly constructed. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:07, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Since this is a minor issue, after all, I will then leave it as it is. Hope this settles it. Best, Hildeoc (talk) 23:49, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

PS: Please keep in mind, however, that MOS:IMAGES#cite note-left-4 clearly states the opposite: "A consistent left margin creates a stable anchor for tracking through lines of text making it more readable / accessible."--Hildeoc (talk) 23:52, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
