Broken gallery

@Bold and Brash: The table of images of North American political events was broken. I tried to reformat it, but there seems no reason to include it at all. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 15:30, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Felt the images conveyed the most notable political events concerning that region, if the gallery was broken its probably best to leave it out. Bold and Brash (talk) 17:20, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It was broken in the sense that it forced its way past the right margin, even on my desktop. On my mobile (in desktop mode), it doubled the width of the article. If it could be redone allowing line breaks ... it probably would have gone vertical. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 07:56, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So how can we able to condense the size of this article to suitability?

Anyone have any ideas? How much is too much? —AppleWormBoy (talk) 22:52, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A prototype of the 2010s decade collage

Since there was already a previous discussion on what to include in the collage of this decade, I figured I'd share mine. (From left, clockwise: Rise of ISIS from the Syrian Civil War/Arab Spring, Obama and Biden waiting on updates on the death of Osama Bin Laden, Bitcoin gaining popularity, smartphones and tablets also gained prominence, the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Brexit, DPRK-USA summit, Wedding of Kate and Prince William, and the Chile Mine accident.) —AppleWormBoy (talk) 14:03, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I personally don't find Bitcoin representative of the decade, it's more of a hype that quickly fizzled out. I will probably pick something like the Harlem Shake to represent the rise of internet culture, meme culture and the ubiquity of video-sharing sites instead.

But it's probably more considered to wait for this kind of stuff until we really reach around the end. A major event can still happen in the next 12 months.
