Talk:Rhode Island State House

message: According to the Minnesota State Capitol article, it is an "unsupported marble dome", which I take to mean self-supporting, because it certainly doesn't levitate. This would probably mean that the RI Capitol dome is the third-largest, rather than the second. Any thoughts on this? 68.228.155.76 07:48, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: This was just brought up on the misc refdesk.  Both the Minnesota State Capital and Taj Mahal are also marble.  St Peter's was never the largest self-supporting dome in the world (the Pantheon, Rome is larger and older), so that list makes no sense.  The truth is that RISH is the fourth largest marble dome, and not the anythingth largest any dome. FiggyBee 12:33, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I am beginning a section here to discuss the infobox image. I recently reverted changes to the image by  which I believe replaced higher a quality image with a lower quality alternative. The replacement image (second) is of of lower image quality, exhibits poorer composition, and shows less of the building than the previous photograph (first). I am looking for other's thoughts on this matter.  Filetime (talk) 18:47, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

replies: text:  How would notifying me be canvasing, a policy which permits notifying editors "who have made substantial edits to the topic or article"?  I have added images to this article, and User:Kzirkel has also made edits to the photos on this article. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:24, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I would like to note that by adding editors who are active on the Commons Quality Image nomination page, my intention was to solicit voices with photographic experience who might improve the robustness of a discussion and subsequent consensus. This sort of behavior is defined as "perfectly acceptable." I welcome all editors to ping anyone else who they believe might aid in more fully achieving consensus.

replies: text: I don't think there's a shadow of a doubt that the first image is significantly better! I think that before changing the image you should always ask permission on the discussion page.--Commonists (talk) 23:01, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

message: Some editors seem to be under the imporess that MoS requires all imagwes to be lined up on the right side of the article.  This, however, is not the case.
*MOS:IMAGELOCATION says "Mul­ti­ple im­ages can be stag­gered right and left"
*Help:Pictures#Alternating left and right says "Perhaps the easiest way to handle multiple floating pictures is to alternate them left then right (or right then left); this way they do not come into contact with one another, and so cannot stack up in an unattractive way.".  
In point of fact -- as any editor who has worked on article layout knows -- stacking images on the right side can be very boring for the reader, so alternating sides (without squeezing text between images) provides visual variety to the article and makes it more enjoyable to read.  
Not only that, but because the majority of our article have infoboxes, interpreting MoS in this way would mean that there couldbe no images at ll for the expanse of the infobox, as it takes up the right-aligned space.  For ssort article, with longish infoboxes, there would essentially be no images in an article at all except for the infobox and perhaps a gallery.
To my knowledge, there has never been a consensus that images must be right-aligned, and the majority of reasonably-sized Wikipedia articles I have edited or read have left-aligned images in them. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:33, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
