[edit] Image addition

There have been several images added onto this page in a haphazard manner, not confirming to MoS. Since this article is of GA status, I suggest cleaning up the article and any images proposed to be added be discussed here first. Around The Globeसत्यमेव जयते 09:51, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

I agree. There are too many images. I am removing some images using WP:BOLD. I suggest you do the same. If there is any dispute for image addition/removal, only then should we have a discussion about that particular image. Please note the reason of removal/addition on talk in such a case. --Redtigerxyz Talk 09:55, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Removed:

  • Nanda Requests a Horoscope for Krishna. Rationale: Krishna is hardly seen. Not so significant event in his life--~~~~

  • Krishna kills the Demoness Putana. Rationale: Significant event but Putana is the main depiction here--~~~~

  • Arjuna Wijaya statue in Central Jakarta depicting Krishna and Arjuna riding a chariot. Rationale: Krishna not seen. Back of sculpture

[edit] A report to the authorities

I tried to make several articles better but all my edits were reverted and I was not able to contribute as my edits were reverted unnecessarily by the user AroundTheGlobe, I am new here so i wrote to his talk page but he gave useless excuses so I asked the administrator for help, he reported that he has misused his rollback privileges and has uselessly reverted edits by several other uses which was mentioned in the report so I again started editing but they were again reverted. I don't know what to do as if I do not contribute to articles like I did in the Radha Krishna one as it did not had good pictures. Please do the needful. JagadhatriJagadhatri 10:07, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Please, Jagadhatri, show some understanding. This is a GA-class article (GA = Good Article) and you are bound to find resistance against adding text or images without the consensus of its various editors. Articles should not become overloaded with images, and especially so GAs. If you think that a particlar image should replace some other for a particular reason, please discuss it here, see if you can get some consensus first and act accordingly. In this way reverts and frustration could be avoided. Hoverfish Talk 17:59, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
