Maps and Cathedrals Please stop adding maps to those already lengthy cathedral boxes They are superfluous Every cathedral is in a city Every city has a map Putting maps for the cathedrals themselves is overkill It s like this if a significant person is mentioned within the context of an article then we link that person s biography We don t give the dates of the person s life unless they are absolutely relevant to the text of the article e g the architect John Bloggs died in 1455 leaving the spire incomplete If john Bloggs has his own article then we don t write John Bloggs 1402 1455 built the spire Similarly if a person wants to know where Chichester Cathedral is within Sussex they will look at Chichester The problem is that maps and lists in the right hand box take up space that is much better utilised by pictures Cathedrals are visually among the most important works of art that have been created Great long lists of cleargy and specifications don t need to be in the right hand box any more than the map does The lists can go anywhere else in the article But the right hand side particularly within the first paragraphs of the main body of text is the prime space for illustrating the building its history its style and so on Cathedral websites well done cathedral websites never give lengthy lists of people on the home page They give a link to where you can find that stuff if you want it They also give a link to how to find us They don t attempt to put a map on the home page Jamming a map in to take up space where there could be a plan of the building or a photo of the interior is not useful
