message: I think the gallery is missing many images explicitly related to the Kingdom of Macedon. I have uploaded a sample of images, prior to having them being reverted

replies: text: The gallery seems to have plenty of images explicitly related to the Kingdom of Macedon. I have a feeling that this about something else. That the image gallery is missing images "explicitly related" to something else... Khirurg (talk) 22:44, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: 2/8 images are directly related to Macedon, maybe 3/8 if we emphasis Bactria as a component of ancient Macedonian history. Do not forget, the symbols spike in popularity is due to it's heavy use in the Kingdom of Macedon. --Beat of the tapan (talk) 02:26, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

text: By the way, don't think I'm pushing any agendas here. One of the images I uploaded which consisted of an excavated shield from North Macedonia has Greek writing on it. I also added images from Greece. Again, the gallery in its current state has a poor representation of the rich heritage of the symbol. Some of the current images do not do justice, and obviously don't have the symbol as a highlight. I am not saying to delete these, but there is no harm in adding other images. Worse comes to worse in regard to the space taken by the gallery it can be moved to the bottom of the page Beat of the tapan (talk) 09:22, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Two of the images you added were passable, but of the other two you added, one is very poor quality, the other doesn't even have the star on it (the one with the shield). I can think of only one reason to add such images, and it's not a good one. Khirurg (talk) 18:33, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm actually not sure what you are getting at here, or what you think these "reasons" are. The first shield has 4 eight-rayed suns and a 1/3 of a large 16-rayed sun in the center. I can tell you the sun is more obvious than on a quarter of the images we already have in the gallery. The other shield maybe of low quality, but it is used in the Kingdom of Macedon article and it's one of the very few found artifacts that is actually a shield with the sun on the centre. The one that I uploaded which was found in Epirus also falls victim to your argument, with that being heavily faded. Maybe you're the one with "reasons" here. --Beat of the tapan (talk) 22:05, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Keep in mind that there shouldn't really be image galleries in articles anyway, as it goes against Wikipedia guidelines that Wikipedia is not an image gallery. --Michail (blah) 08:09, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Okay, I will take note of that. One more thing I will like to say is that the current gallery looks off when viewing the article on certain monitors. Incomplete image grids are not visually appealing, nor encyclopedic Beat of the tapan (talk) 09:55, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
