Line 184: == Damn too many pictures again== Why each time I come here there are loads of not so relevant pictures on this page? Is this some jingoistic behavior to show how cool is France and loosing the main purpose of Wikipedia from sight (information)? It has been discussed many times before, do not add tons of pictures: - in history: too many pictures, St-Bartholemew's massacre (not such an important event compared to the length of French history), coronation of Napoleon (not that useless but there's nonetheless too many pictures here) and Joan of Arc (a symbol of France but not so relevant on history) are useless pictures in a such a small section, the euro picture can be moved elsewhere: the most important event in French history has to be the revolution and the picture of Bastille Day is enough.▼ In Geography▼ - The pointe du Van, located in western Brittany: most irrelevant picture so far (what's the purpose of that picture? Is there any?).▼ ▲-: in history: too many pictures, St-Bartholemew's massacre (not such an important event compared to the length of French history), coronation of Napoleon (not that useless but there's nonetheless too many pictures here) and Joan of Arc (a symbol of France but not so relevant on history) are useless pictures in a such a small section, the euro picture can be moved elsewhere: the most important event in French history has to be the revolution and the picture of Bastille Day is enough. Defence:▼ ▲: In Geography ▲- The pointe du Van, located in western Brittany: most irrelevant picture so far (what's the purpose of that picture?
