Talk:Williamsburg, Virginia: Difference between revisions

 

I recently attempted to redo the lead image, but the original proposal was reverted as "not an improvement", so I would like to raise the issue here for discussion on how to improve the lead image in the infobox. Presently, the current image is the backlit rear of the Governor's Palace, which on balance, is not entirely representative of the city as a whole, nor is it among the best images from the city available on the Commons. I propose doing a photomontage like the articles for many of the worlds major cities (using the {{tl|photomontage}} template). Such would allow a selection of several images, tastefully aranged, to highlight several iconic facets of the city. The original proposal was an improved image of the Governor's palace, an image of the Capitol, one of the historic area gardens and Bruton Parish church, and one of the Wren Building. Here is my thinking: I think there should be at least one image of Colonial Williamsburg (of one of the iconic structures; either the Palace and/or the Capitol), one of the Wren Building (to represent the college), and at least two other smaller ones of iconic aspects to fill other elements (ideally at least one of which is not the historic area proper or not managed by CW--possible Merchant's Square). Any thoughts or suggestions? [[User:Morgan Riley|Morgan Riley]] ([[User talk:Morgan Riley|talk]]) 22:34, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
