A fact from Belgium–Mexico relations appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 18 June 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that Charlotte of Belgium (pictured) reigned as Empress of Mexico starting in 1864? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/June.

They're not necessary for these articles, and if one wants a picture, simply read the person's actual article. Pictures are only relevant if they are actually taken on a visit to the country in question, or 2 notable people from different countries are together in the same shot. do we put George W in every USA-Y article? or Tony Blair in every UK-X article?

• I disagree and I am restoring. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 03:25, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

so you intend to add George W Bush to every USA-Y article? using a BBC/CNN analogy is poor, they are news services, we are not. LibStar (talk) 03:29, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• I don't think the slippery slope argument is appropriate here. We have official US photos of every state visit that are non copyrightable and can be used in those articles. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 03:51, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

you haven't actually provided a reason why these should be included. do you intend to now add pictures of various leaders to all bilateral articles. unless it's a photo of them on a visit, or 2 leaders in 1 shot, it doesn't add to bilateral relations. LibStar (talk) 04:01, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

well you did provide a reason saying it's like CNN/BBC. Wikipedia is not a news service, so the analogy doesn't cut, news services do that because readers can't click on a WP article on individuals. LibStar (talk) 04:05, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In the BBC they click on the biography of any world leader just like they can in Wikipedia. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 04:30, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

and CNN and other news services? LibStar (talk) 04:32, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures like this are highly relevant not individual stock photos. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bush_Yushchenko_2005.jpg LibStar (talk) 04:08, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Guys, please do not edit war over these per

• Pictures generally make articles more interesting, but they should be clearly relevant to the article. I agree with LibStar. Vicente Fox in Belgium, or Fox talking to Guy Verhofstadt somewhere else, yes. But Fox in a context unrelated to Belgium, no. Aymatth2 (talk) 19:03, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's a good idea to try to find illustrations for these articles.

I too agree that these pictures serve no useful purpose here, and have removed them. See my further discussion of them here. Yilloslime ^T_C 21:59, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is as much as in the article, it does not look good. LibStar (talk) 00:46, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Talking about "Belgian people" doing things before Belgium was created is an anachronism, no? Should be "Flemish", probably.
