Please be more specific about what you would like us to change. Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 03:15, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Remove image?

Just my two cents, but the first image seems more decorative than anything. At any rate, might as well put the WP home page, a random diff has no specific link with our reliability. — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 14:22, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Agreed, except to say the image in question isn't even decorative! The second image does have that quality in addition to being an appropriate illustration for the article. I say dump the Klee-Irwin.gif (or move it elsewhere in the article if it has some redeeming quality that escapes me) and let the South American coati/Brazilian aardvark lead. Cheers!

I'll go on with it, then, if it's not just me. — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 17:43, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
Have either of you actually read it? It doesn't seem so. It is a very extreme example of the removal of damaging facts, replacing them with PR fluff. I will return it; you didn't even put the coati at the top. Johnbod (talk) 00:18, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
An image is supposed to illustrate, not to be read. We might as well replace articles by screenshots of them. And even if we really want an image instead of text pointing out some of the interesting changes, we could at least take a more recent diff, where you actually see easily the changes and you don't have to fish through four paragraphs of text to see the point. — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 08:50, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
Agree. The coati is not appropriare title picture. Its a super example but is not a good cover. Imagine with other articles: for example climate change. The cover could be earth or weather, but not one particular insect species going extinct.
Please: some editors here need to learn how to make things readable, and how to lead a reader from the general to the details. The skill is called "common sense" 2A02:1210:2E1A:500:1DC3:75D:1881:5051 (talk) 10:02, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Can You Trust Dr. Misplaced Pages?

Quite interesting, I used it in the article a little. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:24, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Wiki is biased and removes facts

removing facts from a article that was edited with evidence. Wiki does not like certain facts in their articles . That would be suppression of information. Wiki has became a joke and not a reliable source for information 216.252.7.115 (talk) 18:44, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
