Hi. The message above was a pre-written greeting with helpful links. I'm actually writing this part :) You can jump in and start improving articles. The article Rapid transit does have too many images. You can help edit the article and remove some of the lower-quality or redundant images. Note that images in various sections of the article are usually illustrating some specific point discussed in that section of text. Be sure to consider why that image was included at that spot. A low quality image is better than no-image, if it is showing something specific and useful to the article. Also try to maintain diversity in what the images show.
If you edit the article you'll find lines like this:
[[File:name.jpg|stuff|stuff|stuff|stuff]]
That's the image. Deleting or moving that text will delete or move the image. The gallery section is similar, although gallery doesn't use the [[ ]] part. You can even add or replace images if you find better ones. You can use the search box here to search for multimedia files, or search at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page To add or replace an image just copy-paste an existing [[File:name.jpg]] line from in the article, then modify the file name and caption-text or other details. That will insert name.jpg. If name.jpg isn't found here, it will grab name.jpg from Commons. Just click PREVIEW to see how the article will look with your changes. If you save something and it turns out badly, you can just click the article History and UNDO your change. Alsee (talk) 20:47, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
