Talk:Wordless novel

Lead image

A silly thing to argue about, but I really think the initial image should be floated again. On widescreen monitors (by far the most common way that computer users access our articles these days) the current arrangement results in a huge amount of superfluous whitespace which gets worse as resolution increases. Conversely, on mobile devices, the mobile skin already copes perfectly well with the image without having to use {{wide image}} (contrary to the assertion in the diff that restored it, the image is shrunk to fit in this case rather than a scrollbar being added). The only use case where floating causes potential problems is on desktop browsers with a horizontal screen resolution of less than a thousand pixels, which has been a minority for well over a decade now.

I hadn't noticed that with the mobile skin—I had my mobile browser set to display the desktop site, as I find the mobile site too limited for my needs. The only other issue is that it's recommended not to set the size of floating images because it overrides user settings. The image as-is is "unreadable" at the default size, so I'll try to find a better image that conveys both the idea of the medium's sequnetiality and looks nice a t the default size.

That recommendation does allow for exceptions where the image contains detail which would be obscured at lower resolutions. I reckon you're fine embiggening it back to 500px, but if you want to stay strictly within what the guideline says then 400px is permitted for lead images.

Successful good article nomination

I am glad to report that this article nomination for good article status has been promoted. This is how the article, as of June 15, 2013, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Writing quality is good enough for GA. I'd watch for run-on-sentences, overusage of commas and semicolons, and stuff like that for future copyediting. Consider a peer review where you solicit input from previously uninvolved editors, and/or WP:GOCE.

2. Factually accurate?: Duly cited throughout. I very much like the citation style and formatting used.

3. Broad in coverage?: Covers all major aspects in detail and yet at the same time not overly-detailed. Quite accessible for the reader, I like this style.

4. Neutral point of view?: Neutrally worded tone, no issues here.

5. Article stability? No stability issues after inspection of article edit history and talk page history going back over one month.

6. Images?: Image check okay. I'd recommend replacing or removing File:CABINET DES DR CALIGARI 01.jpg.

Fine job overall. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to Good article reassessment. Thank you to all of the editors who worked hard to bring it to this status, and congratulations.— — Cirt (talk) 03:42, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

thanks so much

What a beautiful article Curly Turkey, and a real diversification from the usual run of FAs. Spicemix (talk) 12:39, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Photo position

In my browser (Firefox), the photos of Will Eisner and Art Spiegelman appear one above the other, not left and right. Axl ¤ [Talk] 13:21, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

• Strange. Does this happen in other articles that use the {{multiple image}} template—say, in Abraham Lincoln, in the Marriage and children section? Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 21:21, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Yes! Axl ¤ [Talk] 23:55, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

@Axl: It would be best to take it to Template talk:Multiple image, and give them your technical details (OS, Firefox version). Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 00:56, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
