Not relevant for its own Wiki article, in my opinion. Merging into Brown under a 'traditions' section would probably be better. Jacotto (talk) 04:34, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmies and Beyond My Ken: There is no reason for the gallery to be any larger than the default size. If a larger size was necessary, the default would simply be larger. Filetime (talk) 02:56, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Yeah, Filetime, it wasn't about the default size. Drmies (talk) 02:59, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The default size in a gallery is just that, the default size. It is not the ideal size, it's simply the size that the images will be displayed at if no other size is specified. The fact that we have the capability of specifying a different size is an indication that doing so is not disallowed. My philosophy is that images in Wikipedia articles should be presented at a sufficient size in order that they can be "read" by our users without requiring them to have to click through. Some will click through anyway because they want to see more detail but for most readers, a look at the gallery is sufficient if they can actually see the image which is extremely hard to do at the default size. For this reason, I believe that gallery images should be a large as is practicable, and not tiny, difficult to see images smaller than a postage stamp. There certainly is not policy or reccommendation in MOS which justifies your reverting my adjustments to the image size in the gallery- by doing so, you are only doing a disservice to our readers.
