Lots of pictures

There are a lot of pictures on this page, more than are necessary and this might hurt some dial-up user who try to access the page. When I found them, they were in a big mess and formatted oddly, so I stuck them in a gallery, but I don't think that they are all necessary to the page. Could we think of removing some of them? --Sbrools ^{(talk . contribs)} 15:45, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is rather picture-heavy, considering how relatively little text it has. Think there's a simple option to fix. I'll work on it. --Ebyabe 17:16, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done! It was under the WP:NRHP umbrella, which is how a Florida boy caught this. :) What I discovered was that most of the pix were stored at WikiCommons. So I created a page there for the gardens, made galleries and added all the ones I could find so they could be seen there. Put the more material at WikiCommons tag on the main page of this article, and removed most of the pix. Made one gallery at the bottom with a smaller representative sampling of pictures. Left the links to the sections, 'cause all that good work shouldn't go to waste. A few more could get added, but I'd say there shouldn't be more than a dozen, in any case. At least until the article itself is bigger, that is. It definitely makes it easier to read the actual article. Hope that helps! -Ebyabe 18:03, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia guidelines say galleries should only be used to illustrate a particular point if necessary, and not as a general image repository. I added the "commons+cat" template, which points to the commons gallery and the commons category. This lets anyone add images as needed. They just need to remember to put any new photos int the gallery so that they are actually used in an article. Donlammers (talk) 15:22, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I removed this

"an award- winning artist known for her site-specific works," from the Lowcountry Trail section because it seemed unnecessary. Even self-serving. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 19:33, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
