Not to be rude, but you really need to check this on a high-res monitor before publishing: on high screen resolutions, it takes a lot less space for the text, so you can end up with far too many images if you're not careful.

I've removed one image, but, really, I should have removed two, for layout reasons. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 01:33, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not so much this text as your edit summary that was a little brash. I have reinstated the picture, but captioned it as related to featured sounds, since you are right, for wide window widths the pic will not be adjacent to the FS section. If you use a full window width on a 27-inch monitor, most WP pages will display with text/image distortions. We cannot cater for every window width (and resolution) at the same time; thus, a compromise is reached. Perhaps you might experiment with smaller widths. Mine is less than half the width of the monitor, which also minimises the occurrence of one- and two-line paragraphs. Tony (talk) 02:40, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I possibly should have specified wide-screem monitors in the edit summary, but it really did look appalling on wide-screen - there was about 2/3rds of a screen worth of whitespace left of the pictures. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 16:42, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This might be related, but occasionally images here overlap. It's rare, but here are the two most recent examples, dated. One is from this week, the other from several months ago. Sven Manguard Wha? 05:12, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've just realized the internet has ruined me. The Lion Tower just looks like a face to me, while I am expecting a funny capshun on the cat. Great pictures though! Reso lute 02:44, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
