Sorry. This has been replaced by a public domain USDA image from 1936. All USDA images are in the public domain. Ray Lowry 18:25, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Comment of article having too many pictures, charts or diagrams for its overall length. (April 2022)[edit]

Sorry, but Bruce is beyond being a ghost town. Not one fence post of the community remains. What once was a town representing the hopes and dreams of many settlers, is now literally a farmer's corn field. These few images are all that remain. Let Bruce have its due. User:Ray.lowry

That doesn't justify putting lots of images on the article and crowding the text. It's better to just put the images into a category on Commons. Jurta talk 08:31, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, because then people interested in learning about the vanished town of Bruce, Minnesota - let's say students students in Rock County researching their local history and geography, will never be able to find them. The photos help tell the story, and the only place the full story of Bruce exists on the internet is on Wikipedia. Ray Lowry 14:58, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

I advise reading MOS:SANDWICH, MOS:TEXTASIMAGES and WP:GALLERY. Jurta talk 20:55, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
