Replace Japanese Curry Image with other Japanese Dish[edit]
There is currently only one image of Japanese food which is the Japanese Curry image. Curry originally comes from India (Indian Subcontinent). So can it please be changed to a truly Japanese dish? Such as this image of Japanese cuisine with tempura, sashimi and miso-soup.
That is also used on the Japan article in Japanese. - Artanisen (talk) 8:00, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
We have a small problem with some images.....as this is an FA article there are some image problems that should be fix as per our MOS.... random one off galleries instead of images being beside relevant text.... and of course the accessibility concern of Squish text. Should we revert to before the images were placed?--Moxy (talk) 23:00, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
I've removed some of the excess images. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:25, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
Great start.. sandwich of text is a serious accessibility concern...only real problem is 2 galleries.....there is room beside the relevant text and they should be moved. Having 2 galleries for subsections gives it undueweight and simply looks out of place considering more important sections don't have them.--Moxy (talk) 00:41, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
@Moxy: lets build consensus before changing established content. The images have moved to other sections. Either we reduce the images and remove the galleries or keep the images and gallery. I support keeping it as it is. However, the community consensus is paramount to both our views. (Highpeaks35 (talk) 01:09, 4 September 2018 (UTC))
ec÷2 Done all fixed only lost one image that was not mentioned in text anyway. All good....need a bit of sources in other sections....will work on that now....can't loose FA status because of small things.--Moxy (talk) 01:22, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
@Moxy: Looks like we now have the Great Wave caption twice? Nikkimaria (talk) 02:04, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
My bad.....fixed. Sorry a bit fustrated.....dealing with image spam in many coutry articles.....last month someone went crazy and add hundreds of images all over the country articles......text sandwich and random out of the blue galleries all over.--Moxy (talk) 02:13, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
Not sure why a gallery keeps being added to the food section. It causes format problems for many readers as seen by the pic ...let alone the WP:UNDUE. As an FA article we should follow WP:GALLERY and make sure we don't have accessibility concerns. What if we pic 6 or 9 images and rotate them in 3 {{random item}} templates? ......this was the soulution at India a FA article as seen here....I do think 8 in one is excessive but it does solve all the FA, accessibility, sandwich of text problems. ... still gets the Picture lovers their images in the article. -Moxy (talk) 14:11, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
