Talk:Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew

message: thumb|right
I recently removed the image :File:Alpine house Kew 839-50-360PMpolar2-gimp.JPG from the gallery as I felt it serves no real purpose. The perspective is so warped to be unrecognisable. I was reverted by PRL42 and asked to bring it to the talk page first. Strange, as far more drastic and silly image removals/replacements occur all the time without any discussion, but there you go. Anyway, can we get consensus on whether it should stay or be removed? Perhaps someone can argue for why it adds significantly to the article beyond what the image in the Alpine House section does. By the way, it's on my to-do list to improve on that photo. Ðiliff   «» (Talk) 11:04, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I feel that if an image has been around for several months (and this one has been there for two and a half years) it should not simply be removed without discussion unless it is either a copyvio, irrelevant, of very poor quality, or a near duplication of a better image. This image did not fall into any of those categories. It's quite an interesting image in that it appears somewhat abstract and yet does actually represent a real space. It would be great if you could improve on it. As to 'silly image removals/replacements' I would always revert these if they were not done for one of the reasons mentioned above and request consensus before finally giving them the chop.

replies: text:  I'm pretty much neutral as I more or less agree with your points. I just don't like to see established text or images removed without discussion unless they meet one of the criteria mentioned above. So if you want to vote remove ... PRL42 (talk) 17:09, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with User:Diliff that this distorted photo should be removed. It confuses rather than informs.--Melburnian (talk) 12:29, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. Funny that it took two years for anyone else to respond and that it should be a fellow Melburnian. I've gone ahead and removed the image. I'm just surprised nobody else thought it was as confusing. Ðiliff   «» (Talk) 12:35, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: All the more surprising when this page has been viewed 224,857 times in the last 30 days. I just added this page to my watchlist (number 10,240).--Melburnian (talk) 12:50, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

message: Seems to me that the logo clearly says "Kew's Royal Botanic Gardens", not "R. B. G., Kew" (which does not exactly roll off the tongue to start with, thus less likely, if not downright unlikely, to be chosen as a brand name for smthng so harmonious as that place).88.219.191.45 (talk) 22:43, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The organisation's name is Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew – see http://www.kew.org/about It uses "Kew" or "Kew Gardens" as a brand name. Headhitter (talk) 16:46, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

message: This slightly random selection of two electronic databases at Kew doesn't seem to fit on this page - and in any case The Plant List has now been superseded. Any objection to me simply deleting this? Mark Nesbitt (talk) 22:36, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

message: Jodrell Laboratory should not redirect to here (RBG Kew page) as it not mentioned here! Perhaps someone might like to include it? Meantime the redirection should be changed to its own section of the Kew Gardens page "/Kew_Gardens#Jodrell_Laboratory"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by AliceCybernetics (talk • contribs) 00:17, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
