Image for infobox

User:117Avenue has removed the image from the infobox and has now placed it lower within the content of the article. I believe that this article looks better when the image is included within the infobox at the top of the article. I am seeking a consensus to move the image back to the infobox.

• Support – This is currently the best available photo and it should be used within the infobox until a better image is found. Dolovis (talk) 14:49, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

I too would like to see the image in the infobox. But since there are two infoboxs on the right, and the shield box that can't be shrunk, I could not place the image on the right without creating whitespace, thus it must be on the left. Do you have a proposal that does not have whitespace? Also I do not like how you have set up this section, as if this discussion will only be users saying they "support" or "oppose" the one option. I would like to work with you to find a solution, and the way you have set it up would prevent a back and forth conversation. 117Avenue (talk) 01:51, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

"Kwong Lim Yew" as the birth name

Kwong Lim Yew looks really weird, especially in comparison to the Chinese name that he's known for later in life, 林佐民 (pinyin Línzuǒmín).

Typically, Chinese people who change their names do not change their last name, so there's a non-trivial probability that his name at birth is actually Lim, Kwong Yew (in lastname, firstname form).

Further information: Wikipedia: External links

Some things just grow during incremental edits and sometimes get out of hand. The "External links" section, one of the optional appendices, was expanded to 9 entries. Three seems to be an acceptable number, and of course, everyone has their favorite to try to add for a fourth. Consensus needs to determine this.

• A tag indicates concerns.

However, none is needed for article promotion.

Some links may be included in WP:ELNO, or What Wikipedia is not (policy) such as WP:NOTREPOSITORY or WP:NOTGUIDE.

• WP:ELDEAD may apply.
• In some cases ELCITE applies: Do not use {{cite web}} or other citation templates in the External links section. Citation templates are permitted in the Further reading section. Others, listed below:
• ELpoints #3) states: Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
• LINKFARM states: There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
• ELMIN: Minimize the number of links.

The External links guideline This page in a nutshell: External links in an article can be helpful to the reader, but they should be kept minimal, meritable, and directly relevant to the article. With rare exceptions, external links should not be used in the body of an article.

Second paragraph, acceptable external links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy.

• • Please also note:
• WP:ELBURDEN: Disputed links should be excluded by default unless and until there is a consensus to include them. Please do not add back more links without consensus. Simple solution to facilitate career maintenance tag. Move links here for discussion.
