Adding in brief mention to Yellow vests movement in History section

The Yellow vest protests in Paris which were the epicenter of the whole France wide movement similar to the May 68 Protests ought to have at least a brief mention in the history section. The protests brought about major political changes to the French government of the time with Macron eventually raising the minimum wage, getting rid of the fuel tax hike, 'improved government accountability' etc. But only after weeks of massive demonstrations in Paris In which 287,000 protestors took part in at their peak in November and December of 2018. https://www.france24.com/en/20191116-a-year-of-insurgency-how-yellow-vests-left-indelible-mark-on-french-politics https://www.francetvinfo.fr/live/message/5bf/059/0a5/ff4/e90/12a/7ac/c79.html

Old reference

This edit by a banned sockpuppet added an outdated 2017 reference where we already have a 2018 reference and data. There is no good reason for this addition. 2600:8800:1880:68:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 02:48, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Too many images in montage

The new image of the Pantheon is nice, but as you can see it's not the right size and disrupts the montage. It should be resized or replaced with another image that fits better. I think the montage would be improved if it had fewer images; there are so many that it's almost impossible to see what they are without enlarging them. More than six makes them too small to recognise. It also needs a balance between vertical and horizontal images. London and Rome are good examples of balance and size. Can anyone help with this?

I have to agree, and there are much 'prettier' images available.

But 'pretty' isn't everything: I would suggest, out of a total of 4-5 images, a couple 'iconic' (cliché, some might say) images (eiffel tower, of course) and something a little more generalistic representing the overall character of the city (its (network of) boulevards first come to mind).

I concur with SiefkinDR and ThePromenader. I would even venture as far as reverting to the consensus version pre-recent changes, or at the very least, modifying the current version per suggestions above.Coldcreation (talk) 08:20, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Ideally it should be just about square, and about the same size as the map at the bottom, with a balance of vertical and horizontal images. I could also go with either eliminating the second and third tier, and keeping the others, or going back to the earlier consensus version. Cordially, SiefkinDR (talk) 17:45, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

I also like Promendader's idea of a boulevard. Another possibility would be to add an image of Sacre Coeur, or something more modern. But keep it simple, without too many small images. Cordially, SiefkinDR (talk) 19:10, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

It certainly looks much better than before, but perhaps something a little less 'monumental' (isn't there an aerial view of Paris available, or something?). TP ✎ ✓ 08:09, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Voila! See the new version with an aerial view. cordially, SiefkinDR (talk)

Thank you, sir, but (scratching head) it looks the same as this morning? Cheers! TP ✎ ✓ 13:11, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
