You bothered to mention me so it's only right that I reply. I'll start by saying I appreciate the compliment.

I understand you may feel that too many images are being used on articles, but I disagree. Images should be used to illustrate articles as you read them. Considering our demographic, a page that's too text heavy can be a turn off to readers. Many people use the images on pages to guide them to the text sections they would like to reach. I don't believe images should only be used to describe sections of the series that are hard to explain with words. All major events and scenes should be illustrated on the pages, we should be able to tell the story with our pictures as well as we do with our words.

I'm confused on exactly what the issue is. Text doesn't appear to be cluttered on the pages I've been editing, and if it was there before I started editing it. I'm not sure what you meant when you said pages get slower either. You also didn't exactly provide a solution, so I will continue as I have been. However, I will try to properly space out images on pages I haven't been editing.

Images in every few paragraphs is completely normal as far as I'm concerned, and it was the norm before I ever started editing here. I have been editing for years and I've never heard of there being "too many images. If you visit the pages on other anime wiki's it's organized the same way I've been doing it.



When I first joined this wiki I was told to help with the lack of anime images on the wiki, and KingCannon said to reuse images wherever I could. That's the reason I put the photo of Ibara coming in 4th. In fact, when I first edited Ibara's page, there weren't ANY photos in her synopsis. I add photos as I go along and I believe KingCannon has been doing the same to help improve the quality of the wiki.

I have been doing my best to provide everyone with plenty of images to use wherever, and believe me I've been holding back. I have many more where that comes from. As I stated in my blog, there are a number of messy issues on this wiki, but I don't think the influx of images is one of them.
