Lead image

Hi! Is File:RhyoliteNVSign.jpg a good lead image for this article? WhisperToMe (talk) 12:45, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, WhisperToMe. Thanks for asking. A funny thing about this article is that the images have generated more discussion than any other single thing. The image you've found is good. However, LX 121, who added the existing lead image, was pretty insistent on it, and it is an excellent image. I was the main contributor to the article and nominated it for FA, when a somewhat different set of images passed muster. I have no strong opinion one way or the other except to say that if the new image is added, the old one should be removed. In other words, simply increasing the number of images would not be a good idea. I'd be interested to hear what User:Tillman and User:Lx 121 think.

Alternatively, your image might replace File:Amargosa desert.jpg in the "Geography and climate" section. Finetooth (talk) 19:03, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm in favor of keeping the Cook Bank ruins photo as the lede, because this is the most recognizable and iconic image of Rhyolite (imo).

Ken Lund has contributed many fine photos of the Rhyolite/Beatty area. But I don't feel a picture of the BLM sign is really needed in our article. Cheers, Pete Tillman (talk) 20:24, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Something I want to add

Hey all, my great-grandmother used to live in Rhyolite, and I was wondering if I could share her story in this article?
