Page formatting

After much consideration, I have decided to establish several important aspects regarding page formatting:

Underlining is not to be used anymore! Accompanied by bold writing, it is eye-aggressive.
The Media section of episodes, characters, seasons, etc., is to be organized using a tabber, divided into two tabs: one for images, one for videos. That means that subsections of images will all be joined into the Images tab.
For the last time, do not be subjective! No funny writing, no audience-referring pronous and other parts of speech! Be strictly objective!

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of slideshow galleries unless the image count is low and they work well in sequence.

I'd rather have a collection of themed galleries when the number of images go above a certain threshold. In general, without galleries, I'd prefer not to put a lot of images at all.

At the same time, I'd rather not have a large gallery without any theme at all. 20 images per gallery (or image subsection) is reasonable.

Characters may be the biggest problem. the main crew of the Rocinante are going to eventually have a lot of images over the life of the show (and books). I'd like to at least break up separate galleries for each book or each season under a character. Could we name the tabs under each character by the season or by the book instead of having a single catch-all "image" tab?

Some character might have a special event happen where more photos are desired.

If each character has three to five images (or more) per episode, we'd quickly crowd the gallery.

I would agree to using tabs if we can have a separate tab for each book or for each season under each character.

Would everybody be willing to limit 20 photos per character per book/season? 30 per?

I'm noticing that photos in infoboxes aren't used in the articles that get promoted at the bottom of the page. will photos in galleries be used in them? will using them make the "Read more" listings appear as all drab text?

P.S.

It takes a special breed of arrogance to believe everything revolves around oneself. sometimes that breed is called youth. I don't know the source of the quote. he probably died of old age

On another related topic, are we opposed to actually including chararacter quotes in the descriptions? A few times, I've ended a description with a character quote only to have that quote removed.

I do not know about you, " I love quotes". I am the primary contributer on the episode page

How many of those are original and how many did you copy from other submissions on other pages here? Are you compiling a record of every body else's submissions?

I do not understand your question?

Is this an accusation?

Please clarify?

If anything at all, it started in the episode page,then I branched out to the character page
