Talk:Tonoshō, Kagawa

Images

I think the sidebar would look better with these three images, since the represent Tonosho well and are mentioned in the article.

• Angel Road - probably best-known sightseeing spot on Shodoshima

• Maze Town (old town center) - shows historic town center and good picture

• Tonosho Port - used in current collage; makes it clear that Tonosho is a port town

These ones could maybe be included elsewhere in the article? They're mentioned in notable locations, but I don't think they need to be in the sidebar:

• Dofuchi Strait:

• Choshi Gorge (monkeys!)

Anyhow, I don't know how to combine the top three into a collage or do the copyright stuff, but hopefully another editor can help out. Cheers, Fredlesaltique (talk) 07:48, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

• @Tigraan: Thank you so much! Do you have any idea how to change the sidebar collage like they exist on other pages (Takamatsu, Kagawa, Tokyo, etc.)? Or is that a much trickier endeavor? I'll start poking around some. Cheers, Fredlesaltique (talk) 01:42, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

• Here's what I got so far, but I don't know how to make the pagoda vertical on the right side

Historic town center of Tonoshō

• ...that the historic town center of Tonoshō (pictured) was laid out to foil potential invasions?
  • ALT1:... that the maze-like town center of Tonoshō (pictured) was purposefully designed to foil potential invasions in the 15th century?

• Comment: Whatever sounds most interesting; apparently there are only a few towns like this in Japan so thought I'd nominate. Picture is not necessary. First time nominating something like this.

5x expanded by Fredlesaltique (talk). Self-nominated at 02:44, 5 April 2021 (UTC).

• @Fredlesaltique: sorry for the double ping, I deleted my earlier comment here to avoid confusion as I thought this was a new article. Because it is not new and not recently promoted to GA status, DYK requires 5x expansion of the readable prose size (as measured with a tool like WP:Prosesize or DYKcheck). Prior to your expansion, the article was at 535 characters, so a 5x expansion would be at least 2675 characters. It's currently at 1069 characters, so would need more expansion to be eligible. Feel free to do this within the next week or so if you'd like, and then this can be reviewed. DanCherek (talk) 04:00, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

DanCherek I think expanding it by that much would just encourage a lot of overly-detailed prose or fluff writing at this point, so probably better not to. (I was trying to just keep it a readable overview with more detailed sources). I appreciate the response though, and no worries about the double ping! Cheers, Fredlesaltique (talk) 04:33, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Sounds good, thanks for the nice article and hope to see you at DYK again soon. Happy editing! DanCherek (talk) 04:40, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
