[edit] Photo sizes
Sorry that my changing your photo sizes in one article was so upsetting to you. It's possible that the policy has changed over time to prefer a larger size--policies sometimes do. But the big argument for not specifying a size in general was that doing so precluded the ability to have and make use of a default setting and be able to adjust it over time if it seemed necessary to do so or to allow users to set preferences for image sizes. I could've just said "see all other dog breed articles"--the breed-info template includes a photo at 250px but almost everything else is left at the default thumb size. It's true that almost all photos look nicer at a much larger size, but in conceding to allowing the default settings to adjust and to users with smaller screen sizes, I think the current default size is fine, especially since user can always click on thumb icon and see the much larger size anyway.

[edit] KTVX
You have received this message because you have edited a Salt Lake City media article in the past. We have recently had an edit war regarding the wording and inclusion of a paragraph on the KTVX article. In hopes of resolving this I have put together an informal survey. If you are interested, please stop by Talk:KTVX and add a vote. Thanks, A 09:42, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
