thread_title:  Animal fins 

message: I don't mean to be critical, but the article has too many images, and the layout and number of the images isn't terrible, it's far, far beyond terrible.
As I change the size of my browser window, most of the time fully 90% of the screen fills with whitespace. Independently of that, about 10% of the images are entirely off the right edge of the screen and completely invisible.
I made some small changes that stopped the 90% white space issue, but they were reverted.
As it stands, this article may be the worst laid out article in the whole of Wikipedia.Embrittled (talk) 03:53, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Well your changes introduced a 90% white space issue on my browser. What browser are you using and what screen width? I looked at this on an iPhone yesterday, and it was fine. --Epipelagic (talk) 04:41, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Epipelagic's changes have massively improved this article (from what it was in September), but I do think the number of images is now excessive (e.g. causing whitespace in the Generating thrust section) and the layout of images does not match normal WP style (I'm using Firefox).

replies: text: Yes, I've modified the layout a bit. I'm having a problem with wanting to retain images and not being sure how to go about it. I've removed a couple of images, and maybe more will have to go. --Epipelagic (talk) 07:53, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article layout is completely beyond bad 

message: There are entire sections duplicated here and in the Fish fin article. In my opinion all the evolution stuff should be kept in the other article only, with a link from here. This article should be more centered on the technical aspects of a fin (be it natural or artificial). —capmo (talk) 19:02, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I do think that the evolutionary aspects should be moved to later in the article, since it's about both biological and technological fins, but I don't think it should be moved entirely to the fish fin article, since a key point is the convergent evolution of fins in other taxa such as whales and ichthyosaurs. HCA (talk) 21:09, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: But the "Evolution of fins" section in Fish fin already covers other taxa, including mammals. In fact this section is duplicated in both articles, as well as the section "Robotic fins"; even the "Controlling motion" section has some content duplicated. —capmo (talk) 00:08, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure why this is a problem - related topics will necessarily have some overlap.  To remove it will make both pages less useful to readers, HCA (talk) 19:48, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
