== Bride drawing ==

Look, I'm new here and I don't want to stir up anything, but I'm questioning the inclusion of that chibi illustration of a bride on this page. It's cute, I agree. It's very nicely drawn. It's also the third picture on an article that is three (short) paragraphs long. It's making the page display funny for me and I'm running 1024x768. Also, it's not GFDL on a page that already has two very nice GFDL images.

I also don't feel that it's appropriate for an encyclopedia. Yes, [[WP:NOT|Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia]], but it's still an encyclopedia, and I don't expect to crack open the Encyclopedia Britannica and see chibi drawings. Engravings and illustrations, yes, but not a cartoonlike representation such as this illustration.

I've gone ahead and commented it out. Please feel free to chide me if you feel I have removed it inappropriately. ([[User:Janeway216|janeway216]] 02:15, 23 March 2006 (UTC))

Bride drawing

Look, I'm new here and I don't want to stir up anything, but I'm questioning the inclusion of that chibi illustration of a bride on this page. It's cute, I agree. It's very nicely drawn. It's also the third picture on an article that is three (short) paragraphs long. It's making the page display funny for me and I'm running 1024x768. Also, it's not GFDL on a page that already has two very nice GFDL images.

I also don't feel that it's appropriate for an encyclopedia. Yes, Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, but it's still an encyclopedia, and I don't expect to crack open the Encyclopedia Britannica and see chibi drawings. Engravings and illustrations, yes, but not a cartoonlike representation such as this illustration.

I've gone ahead and commented it out. Please feel free to chide me if you feel I have removed it inappropriately. (janeway216 02:15, 23 March 2006 (UTC))[reply]
