Talk:Portland International Raceway

message: Many books and other sources indicate that Vanport was a hastily built temporary city, so the workers used wooden foundations instead of concrete in the town's construction.  Yet the article states that concrete foundations were part of what was left post-flood?  Flood photographs clearly show the apartment buildings floating like corks in the water, and this has been attributed to the wooden foundations.

replies: text: I agree - the article was loaded with original research, including a suggestion as to which movie is an accurate representation of a US courtroom; (false) generalizations about how the media portrays courtrooms in the US; the (false) statement that UK courtrooms are usually orderly, and the resulting (false) implication that US courtrooms are usually chaotic; and speculation about certain US judges' reasons for wearing certain robes.

Talk:État 231-011 to 231-060

message: Given that the image in the infobox should probably serve as a definitive representation of the locomotive in question, I'm just wondering if someone shouldn't find a more representative image of this locomotive than the current one. I've read a book by Andre Chapelon on French steam locomotives and I didn't get the impression they were generally known for rolling over on their side. Perhaps if no alternative image can be found, we should take the image out of the infobox and have it as an image inline with the article text? Zzrbiker 02:54, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The 231 Bs weren't of Chapelon's design and they did, as the article points out, have a tendancy to derail, especially from the front axle. Chapelon worked a lot for the CF du Nord, not the Etat. I have a book of a selection of the French steam locomotives so I'd pretty much vouch on the information contained in it. It's hard to find photos of these things, that is why I was rather impressed to find this one, especially with this license. I know an photograph of a damaged locomotive might not be the best way to represent it, but it's, as I've said, hard to find reusable media.

Talk:Draper Utah Temple

message: Since it has come up in edit comments, here is my reasoning behind removing :File:Draper Temple.jpg.  It is very similar to :File:Draper_Utah_Temple_night_view.jpg, in that it's a night view with identical lighting and distance from the subject.
However, File:Draper Temple.jpg is blurry, underexposed, the camera moved during exposure, and it has blown highlights.  As a result, the picture loses many details: The Angel Moroni looks like a golden blob and the trees and fence are almost indiscernible. Even the hill on the right side of the picture is difficult to differentiate from a car passing in the foreground.  Details of the facade and windows are completely lost in the blur.
File:Draper_Utah_Temple_night_view.jpg is far from a featured picture, but at least it's in focus.  The problems with that picture are fewer and less severe.
Frankly, I think File:Draper Temple.jpg wouldn't survive a WP:IFD nomination, based on its low quality, and that better pictures of the same building already exist on Wikipedia.
Staplegunther, if you live near the temple, maybe you could get a better picture.  A good daytime picture of the completed temple would be particularly appreciated. – jaksmata 19:00, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: That appears to be an art installation, not a conventional living space; although the work may have been set up in what had been a [with]drawing room in the Croome house, the artist evidently has appropriated the conventional term to make an unconventional point, so the art installation is not at all like the furnishings of a conventional drawing room. In that particular instance "withdrawing room" means something different – quite different – from the use of the term in this article. In conventional use, a withdrawing room is the same as a drawing room, but the artist has used the term differently in Croome.--Jim10701 (talk) 16:48, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
