Pkease note that MOS is a guideline and not mandatory, and is clearly labelled as something one should use good sense in dealing with. The layout of this article is something that I labored over, and should not be trifled with for the sake of MOS-related pedantry. You've had an account for 2 days and 50 edits (although it sure looks like you edited before this account), I've been here for 12 years and 200,000 edits -- I think it's possible that I understand what's allowed and what's needed and what works visually a little better than you. Please do not change the layout again. Thanks, Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:09, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Beyond My Ken: Okay, thanks for the info! But for instance, why exactly does the first image of which I changed the formatting have to be placed on the left?--Curc (talk) 16:34, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
- It;s generally a good idea -- if at all possible --to alternate between left and right so that the article doesn't get visually monotonous. If it's causing you a particular problem by being on the left, let me know and perhaps we can find a solution. Beyond My Ken (talk) 16:53, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks. Well, there is not a serious problem to that, as far as I am concerned. However, I don't consider it very appealing e. g. when headlines become indented by left-aligned images. The same goes for adjustments of images at the end line of a paragraph, like with the second image I tried to reformat. Best--Curc (talk) 17:18, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
