There really is no difference in overall progress. If we've a choice of several different images, we can pick the one which is most neutral - so if we're writing about a war, we can choose not to use a photograph of the Glorious Forces of Our Side Marching In Victory, and instead pick a less loaded one of some soldiers in a field, or a map with arrows. But there's a problem when the issue is whether it's appropriate to *include an image at all*. If one position says we should include an image and the other position says we shouldn't, then whichever way we decide, we've taken sides. We can't really be neutral in a yes-or-no situation. -- - Andrew Gray andrew.g...@dunelm.org.uk _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
