Left justified images

Hi, I see you are removing images from the infobox. While I agree that including the image in the infobox makes the infobox look a little long, I am not sure left justifying the images and squeezing the text between the image and the infobox is an improvement. It may be worth seeing what other think. Cheers, Mattinbgn\^talk 11:52, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BOLD is a good policy to adopt—especially on articles about Australian country towns, where there is not a huge amount of interest. I am not particularly upset or bothered by the changes, I just have a personal dislike of squashed text. Others dislike long infoboxes without accompanying text. Different strokes, etc. I am certainly not wedded to any particular model and was genuinely interested in what others thought (or if anyone else really cared ...).
