| :Photo galleries are not generally discouraged. As per their statement "Articles consisting entirely or primarily of galleries are discouraged" This is a guideline not a rule. It is a good guideline for many articles but it is a not a hard and fast rule. In the small town and small city articles I have added photo galleries they are but part of the article not the only or primarily content. You were correct in deleting the the gallery in Sabin, Minnesota as I forgot to add the captions for the photos. However, it is already a struggle to achieve notability for articles in rural areas and small cities, let alone flyover country, outside of the media concentrated areas of the East and West coasts. There is little that can be added to these towns because of Media/Urban bias. Photos are at a least a visual way to describe the town in a Misplaced Pages article.] (]) 21:28, 25 August 2024 (UTC) | |||

Query about Minnesota Misplaced Pages Day meetup
I'll be attending the Toronto Misplaced Pages Day meetup this coming weekend, and we are noticing a LOT of newly created accounts signing up for this. I see that the signup list for the Minnesota event similarly had a lot of new accounts signed up. Did many of them come? Just trying to gauge whether we should make a point of focusing on new editor stuff, or whether there was something of a prank happening here. Risker (talk) 02:54, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- It's not a prank, we've been using the m:CentralNotice banner, in this case coordinated with Wikimedia Canada. A similar thing was done for last year's events. Expect some but obviously not all of the newbies to attend, and Happy Misplaced Pages Day! Pharos (talk) 15:30, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
