On the question of "where was the correct place to report news", I have to note that you weren't reporting news. You were giving what this wiki considers to be a spoiler: information about an as-yet-unreleased story. So, as the note at [[Talk:Series 8 (Doctor Who)]] said, you start a thread at [[Howling:The Howling|The Howling]], give it an accurate title that contains no spoilers, then alert an admin that there might be information that needs to be added to the article at whatever your Howling thread is. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 04:03: Thu 21 Aug 2014</span> | On the question of "where was the correct place to report news", I have to note that you weren't reporting news.

== Infobox images and discussion pages == | |||
Hi :) As you popped onto my talk page to answer another user's question, I think I should put that answer on your talk page as well. | |||
:It's unlikely that I'll be adding capacity for a third image to infoboxes, as two images already makes infoboxes quite long. In a case like the one you've cited at ''[[The Ghosts of Gralstead]]'', the variations are slight and add little in the way of useful context. Putting value judgements aside, the infobox capacity is limited to two as that's the maximum number required in the vast majority of cases. This multiple cover issue come up on a few other pages, most notably DWM issue pages, and the recommended method in this case is to have a centred gallery at the bottom of the page. See [[DWM 413]] for an example. | |||
Also — and don't take this like I'm angry or anything remotely like it — I'd like to request that you don't answer questions on admin talk pages. In this case, your advice suggested a course of action that has already been considered and rejected years ago. You're of course at liberty to question decisions, but please do just let admin answer the ''original'' question first. :) | |||
You should also realise that user talk pages don't really work like discussion or forum pages. Putting a comment on my talk page doesn't alert [[User:AdricLovesNyssa|AdricLovesNyssa]] that the conversation has moved on. It only alerts ''me''. So, if you're trying to reach the original poster, it doesn't do much good to jump onto the ''recipient's'' talk page, anyway. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 16:08: Tue 09 Sep 2014</span> | |||
