Gallery
Is it just me or does the gallery need a trim? We can't post photos of all Vanbrugh's works - it'd take up too much room. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 18:44, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
- Enough is enough! I have moved the list and gallery [1] to a page of their own, List of works by John Vanbrugh. When writing this page a great deal of care, time and concern was dedicated to getting the balance of the page to be measured - how much or little to write on each of his works to explain his architectural concepts without detracting and becoming repetitious of the individual pages already dedicated to many of his works (eg: Blenheim Palace). These great long list and galleries distort from the integrity the page and serve no purpose and I note they now seem to be appearing on other architectural pages too. We have links and categories to assist the more interested readers - huge galleries and lists are not necessary - lists have traditionally always had pages of their own.

Timeline Template is Inaccessible as Graphical Info
The "Timeline" portion of the article is a graphic, which makes it impossible for those who cannot process graphics -- in particular, the blind and partially sighted, for text-in-graphics tends to become less clear the larger the graphic is displayed -- to obtain the information contained in the Timeline.
use of this template should be discontinued and replaced by actual text contained in a timeline whose layout is controlled by CSS oedipus (talk) 22:46, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
- A challenge! Did you mean something like this, using Template:Graphical timeline rather than Wikipedia:EasyTimeline:
Old timeline | New timeline | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() |
|
- I can see that having this as text (rather than as a graphic) is an improvement, but it is a bit bigger and doesn't seem to want to start with the lower years (1664) at the top. No doubt this can be improved to use sidebars to show at a glance when he was in India or France, or working on various projects. There are some other examples, such as Template:Joan of Arc graphical timeline. -- Ferma (talk) 19:23, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
