Talk:South Palm Beach, Florida

message: Yes the photo ALSO shows the other areas but how on EARTH does a sign visually depict the city better then a picture that has the city and surrounding areas? talk→ WPPilot   02:06, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for your comments. I am sure that as a pilot you can take an aerial picture that will include only a specific area of the Earth, rather than showing several towns stretching to the distant horizon. Your image illustrates far more than the small Town of South Palm Beach. Yes, it is a nice photograph, but it needs to have the various town limits drawn on it. Otherwise, it makes the Town of South Palm Beach look as if it covers a huge area because this image clearly shows several land masses among the numerous water features in the region. A traditional map can more clearly show the political boundaries of the town, as well as its Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal shorelines to help the reader "visualize" the place and its surrounding areas. None of these are readily evident to specifically position the Town of South Palm Beach in the aerial image you have uploaded for a reader who is not familiar with the region. On the other hand, I think that most people can easily visualize South Palm Beach from a picture taken of a sign, buildings, and the only street in this town that is less than 3/4 of a mile long. I am sure that the vast majority of WP readers visualize a town's features, streets, buildings, etc. from the surface of the Earth. Most WP articles contain an image of a typical land-based characteristic in a particular town or city. I hope this helps to explain my revert. CZmarlin (talk) 02:57, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: From a perspective of value, as a pilot it defies logic to have a picture that is ONLY of a focused area that as the pic that I cropped out of the one you reverted shows. A aerial photo that shows surrounding land masses and visual aids to aviators would have far more value then the view that you seem to prefer. As far as using a street sign over a real aerial photo of the area, that is simply not a argument and it is silly to argue about it. As I have said before, you had mentioned your personal desires. I am aware of what you want, and after years and years and years of contributing original aerial photos, I have yet to hear the street sign over aerial photo argument, nor did you address the request that you start by using a talk page before you simply revert my contributions. Thanks. talk→ WPPilot   03:08, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: WPPilot, Please be honest and show the original image that was reverted from the article that shows a huge portion of Palm Beach County, and not just post another version on my talk page in an effort to deceive me. I would also comment that your new picture still shows more than just the Town of South Palm Beach. Moreover, putting messages on an contributor's talk page before making changes to a WP article is not typically expected nor required. All editors are expected to work to improve WP. Your professional expertise as a pilot clearly shows a preference for aerial views. I am sorry if you think that land-based images seem inferior to help readers visualize towns and cities. Please continue to upload your images and respect the views of other contributors to WP articles. Thanks, CZmarlin (talk) 03:29, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
